Investigators found that the aircraft’s endurance and weapons capabilities are inferior than the Navy’s requirements.
Furthermore, the evaluation was done using another model of the helicopter with added weight attached and after studying simulator results.
Three other officers, including a rear admiral, are being detained as well.
