The replacement for the UH-60 is a new tilt rotor design, the Bell V-280. FARA is (was?) a program to replace the Apache attack helicopter. It's possible that watching how Russian attack copters are faring against manpads is causing some pause for reevaluation. And maybe the Apache isn't quite as ready for the scrapyard as they thought.

PS: Have never been a fan of the Osprey, but the V-280 looks like a far better design with very impressive performance.

Helicopter attacks by Russia was a big part of stopping the Counter-Offensive.
