Not sure how much of a market there is for an aircraft like this.
Troop transport!
Still not so sure about demand for it. Some of the design requirements for amphibious aircraft really take away from aircraft performance (speed, fuel burn, ect). Do you really want to make that kind of sacrifice for something you might never need? If your moving troops, traditional aircraft like the C-17 or C130 make more sense to me.
Depends on the area of conflict. Maybe no runways but nearby water landing is available. Obvious hypothetical conspiracy crap but maybe they're planning something?
