Why not the Embraer C-390 Millennium?
Unlike the C-2, it has significant international sales success, selected by Portugal, Hungary, Netherlands, Austria, Czech Republic, South Korea, Sweden & Uzbekistan as well as Brazil.

Unfortunately with our pollies never going happen only via sea from NZ defence force or on someone else aircraft sad unfortunately short sighted. So far only order 2 commercial aircraft and nearly 10 months and still not signed anything on the only option for naval helicopters while other's have they will be luck if see them in 2028 . Slow even in a unstable environment pollies only use word's I thought with the current government this would change but now know nothing has changed.
