Diagnostic review of MRH-90 continues

Why is it so difficult for Defence to procure helicopters?

This from ADM about the NRH-90 of which we will learn more by the end of October.

"A second diagnostic review of the MRH-90 Helicopter has been ordered to examine the effectiveness of the action taken and whether further action is necessary."

Not a glowing statement I see.

The review is part of this periodic meeting relating to the Project of Concern list.

"Minister for Defence Materiel Jason Clare today begins a two-day round of meetings with senior Defence officials and CEOs of companies which have projects on the Projects of Concern list."

What is the "capability" of Defence given all the hype and money spent?

Not much. And in recent history, no party has been especially useful for this portfolio of waste.
