【防衛装備庁に納入(31.2.28)】 | 2月28日(木)、株式会社SUBARUから防衛装備庁に陸上自衛隊新多用途ヘリコプターの試作機が納入されました。 | 新多用途ヘリコプターは、現UH-1Jの後継装備として、災害派遣を含む各種任務を担うために、現在開発中の航空機です。安全に万全を期しつつ各種試験を実施し、機能・性能、安全性等を確認した後に部隊に配備する予定です。 |
Wow. Very interesting. A technologically advanced country would go with such an old design. Is it because it meets requirements, is cost effective and excess capabilities aren't needed?
Extremely practical way of doing things from a budget side, but what happens when a bit more could be the difference between life and death? I imagine this is one of those tradeoffs, or rather "risks", that the big boys are paid to decide....
