Compared to other models LHD seems to be in the conceptual stage ;)

Well it's on offer for export meaning they can build it, someone just needs to buy it first.
I've said before that PLAN should buy some of these to supplement their larger 075 LHDs in future but that is a decade or more down the line.

I don't think it's meant to be an osprey clone, but rather it's meant to be an osprey clear and simple.

It's for export after all, so I suppose they're aiming for potential customers who might want to operate an osprey.
They've had previous models with what looked like chinooks on the helipads too.

Doesn't seem to have hangar or lift, so this is just an LPD with larger space for parking helos but no place to store them inside the ship.
