CH-53K

Notice how they sneak in an armed X-2 into the vid??? Also the use of the 53K in the troop transport mission points to it being touted as a replacement for the MV-22 in that role. The 53K reverting to a medium/heavy lift helo? Interesting.

  2. I thought it was a bit humorous to see a Sikorsky CH-53K sling-loading a broken Boeing CH-47.

    The "armed X-2" looks like an unmanned drone variant. Which makes one wonder if Sikorsky will offer up a possible unmanned CH-53K drone in the future as well.
