You might be right, but it will just cost a lot more money. Average or reasonable Bell medium rates right now are in the $6,500 per day range (give or take $1,000). Even if we ignore the fact that the UH60 doesn't have a standard category certificate will cost $15,000-18,000 per day and much higher per hour. The Puma seems to be a better option if the government is willing to pay a higher price.
