Alouette III has served its time. AW-139 is a good choice for replacement. AW-101 could be next hopefully, especially as a counterpart or replacement for Mi-17.

Alouette was amazing for us; it was able to get in and out including as mini gunship; very versitile hopper.

AW-139s used by the Irish.

Don't expect AW-139s to do air assaults like black hawks or bell-412. Its purpose is different.

The max these would be used for is for following duties apart from CSAR/logistics.

AW101 would be mad expensive to induct at scale to replace the Mi-17s. I suspect the Mi-17s would go on like the Hercs due to their cost/value. But I would keep an eye on a potential Puma replacement.

That's so true man enough is enough. A local helicopter programme is need of the hour.
