So it sounds like that the sole-source replacement for 427 Special Operations Aviation Squadron (427 SOAS) is up in the air and will likely result in a competition. Sole-sourcing the MH-60R is still a possibility if I'm reading Noah correctly.
South Korean KF-21, but the chances of that happening are pretty slim.
Or Leonardo's M-346. We are buying 20+ for advance trainers, buy 40-50 more for light-strike fighter/recce/NORAD, etc. If we go that route maybe Leonardo would give us a god deal on their AW249 Fenice attack helicopter.
