An internal summary from the Pentagon testing office for senior defense officials, which was obtained by Bloomberg, states the helicopter is "failing to meet the reliability, availability or maintainability threshold requirements."

The helicopter is a part of the $5 billion VH-92 aircraft program, which aims to replace the current fleet used by Biden and other high-ranking officials. (PRETTY IMPRESSIVE LOOKING BY THE WAY)

An unpublished report dated Sept. 28, as highlighted by Bloomberg, found the helicopter to be "operationally effective" for simple routine "administrative" missions while noting it to be ineffective for a "contingency operation mission," also known as an emergency flight.

The previous report also found fault with the Mission Communication System (MCS), noting a delay in critical communications at the start of contingency missions and an inability to support secure communicative measures.

So helo pilots or other with knowledge of air operations.....what does that mean
