Defiant was slightly bigger footprint than the Blackhawk with more cabin space and 3 times the helicopter capability (and able to haev DOOR GUNNERS)

Valor is just a sideways Chinook with a Huey cabin area!!!  Flies faster but no onboard protection and no available protective aircraft to accompany it!!!  Bell's FARA won't keep up and neither will the Raider.  And, no, the Air Force will not ever partner with the Army to provide escort duty... even if they do an A-10 Redux

Same size as an Osprey...
