Following this initial inquiry, I believe most respondents here agree that the KA-52 is the world's best Attack Helicopter.

Using the realistic parameters of the Wars in Ukraine and Yemen as a base.

Stormtrooper11:


okay, this is gonna be shocking but I stormtrooper11 have been following this thread since i was 10. Then, I was following the strongest military thread and Kenyan thread. Then there was this guy Siriusblack he had a thread too. So, I'm currently 18 tho.

goes into shock

10!!? I still thought children were born through the mouth at that age

I was 19 when started following these threads, 20 when I joined.....
Now I'm 28...... And still here

I was following the original thread since 2012, I joined after the Battle of Bangui in 2013, and Augustine was giving Andrew a hard time so I decided to take matters into my own hands and deal with Agububu myself.

I was literally on lunch using the below phone when I decided to join

I was exposed to Sci-fi from an early age. Then, I was preoccupied with alot of current affairs. One thing led to the other then I spotted the F-7ni and Alpha jet on the newspapers. There was an airforce crash. My research led me to Beegeagles blog which had Henry, Peccavi, Doziex and Oga Beeg himself. I got here from there. Thanks also to google images.

I don't understand why a president will be using such a military plane

MAN1960:


I don't understand why a president will be using such a military plane

What don't you understand?
This plane is probably (most definitely) better equiped and capable in performance manuverability , it has more modern defense countermeasures than the official presidential jet. This is a tactical plane, which is probably what the presidential security were going for.

we do yes

I think it's something we've seen from the videos they have released.

Why do you think the MI-35M hasn't seen significant combat use in this conflict?

Oh I missed this one

I can't quite put an adequate guess on that because Russia's doctrine in this war has been a bit befuddled but if I can second guess the Russian General Staff and Aerospace Forces a host of factors could have informed that decision. I could pin it down to the MI-35M though highly advanced is more of a multi-purpose platform compared to the KA-52 a dedicated attack platform for both aerial and surface combat. The KA-52 apparently is more maneuverable and agile with longer range missiles therefore best suited for the kind of threats they face in Ukraine however I don't think they fly alone. Its possible other rotary aircraft are in the mix but act more as reconnaissance, attack/SpecOps platforms an area the MI-35M performs perhaps better than the KA-52. Another fringe reason could be weather, terrain, pilot/combat system or because the KA-52 has a higher service ceiling.

GreenandGold:


He doesn't know that we were Spartans, we held the line for 4 long years.

Yea you did at great cost And how did it end You lost the war! Last we heard your last surviving Frigate was limping back to port.

GreenandGold:


I'm not getting any younger, I can't sustain the fight for a long time. Check, Patches, MikeZA and ActivateKruger took the pension, even Agububu (Corvert1) can't run this longer than 3 posts.

Surely you can't continue, we all know that and with what, bare hands Your Southie guys mentioned all irredeemables we gave the option take the pension, surrender or be obliterated. It was always a losing war for the Southies, I told you so. Its suicide fighting with the Giant of Africa: largest economy and biggest democracy with the burgeoning military firepower to back it up to your shores.

Battle Damage Assessment of the war: SAAF destroyed. The SAN reduced to a moribund ineffective merchant Navy not even a Coast Guard. The SA Army bloated with overweight inexperienced, half-baked educated command with nigh nonexistent combined-arms forces. I repeat the day Zimbabwe decides to get angry it will be over for South Africa. Meanwhile while you hallucinate over name labels yea, you're right having won the war I moved on.

Quit the struggle. Tow the path of your defeated compatriots. It's over. We won.
