Does the US military want to buy it ? As far as I know It's better than Blackhawk....

I don't think the US would buy a eurocopter, even if it was better.
They have a huge domestic industry, which they want to support. It's about jobs. Jobs mean money. Money means happy voters. Happy voters mean good for politicians... :|

The US has allowed many aircraft to be licensed and manufactured overseas.

I like the look of that heli. In some pictures it reminds me of a CH-53, and in others it reminds me of a UH-60. It just looks... "functional" I can't describe it better than that. :)

why Royal Navy Merlins haven't FLIR camera like Italian ones?

[oldsoak]

Probably because the MOD is too tight to fork out the dosh for them.

Oh here we go :cantbeli:
In the website they state US VARIANT of the proven EH101.
Every country makes changes for their needs and they usually use the manpower and technology in their own country. Its not uncommon and they never said it was the ALL AMERICAN us101 that I saw.

Some of the RAF's Merlin HC3's have FLIR.

Notice the camouflaged FLIR on the nose.

(Photo's from Bosnia, at least I hope it's Bosnia. If not Wales has gone downhill since I last visited. :)
