>>Well, actually, you really don’t. An Osprey is an unarmed cargo helicopter<<

MUI the Osprey was to replace both the Harrier VTL and the various incarnations of the Chinook troop copters.

Apparently MUI improperly placed?

The Osprey was to replace the CH-46 Sea Knight helicopter.

The F-35B is to replace the Harrier, and the STO/VL capability of the F-35B is responsible in large part in making the entire F-35 program so late and over budget.

CH-46:

V-22B:

AV-8B:

F-35B"
