10. Z-10
The Z-10 attack helicopter is expected to enter service
with Chinese army in 2008-2009. The Z-10 helicopter has

Hellfire) and TY-90 air-to-air missiles. It can also carry
unoperated rocket pods.

9. MI-24 Hind


The Mil Mi-24 is a large helicopter gunship and attack helicopter and low-capacity troop transport with room for eight passengers. The Mi-24, the first helicopter to enter service with the Russian Air Force as an assault transport and gunship. The Mi-24 is a close counterpart to the American AH-64 Apache, but unlike this and other Western assault helicopters it is also capable of transporting up to eight troops.

8. AH-2 Rooivalk


The Denel Rooivalk is an attack helicopter manufactured by Denel of South Africa. Rooivalk is Afrikaans for “Red Kestrel”. The South African air forces operate only 12 Denel AH-2 Rooivalk attack helicopters. Although it looks like an entirely new machine, the Rooivalk is based on a degree of reverse engineering of the Aerospatiale Puma, using the same engines and main rotor.

7. AH-1W Super Cobra

The Bell AH-1 SuperCobra is a twin-engine attack helicopter based on the US Army’s AH-1 Cobra. The twin Cobra family includes the AH-1J SeaCobra, the AH-1T Improved SeaCobra, and the AH-1W SuperCobra.

6. A-129/T-129 (Italy/Turkey)


The Agusta A129 Mangusta is an attack helicopter originally designed and produced by Agusta in Italy. It was the first attack helicopter to be designed and produced wholly in Western Europe.

The TAI/AgustaWestland T-129 ATAK is a derivative version of the A129, and its development is the responsibility of Turkish Aerospace Industries (TAI), with AgustaWestland as the primary partner.

5. AH-1Z Viper


Capable. Flexible. Multi-mission. The ultimate in attack helicopters. The Bell AH-1Z Viper is a twin-engine attack helicopter based on the AH-1W SuperCobra, that was developed for the United States Marine Corps. The AH-1Z features a four-blade, bearingless, composite main rotor system, uprated transmission, and a new target sighting system. The AH-1Z is part of the H-1 upgrade program. It is also called “Zulu Cobra” in reference to its variant letter.

4. Eurocopter Tiger

The Eurocopter Tiger is an attack helicopter manufactured by Eurocopter. In Germany it is known as the Tiger; in France and Spain it is called the Tigre. The Tiger is powered by two MTU Turbomeca Rolls-Royce MTR390 turboshaft engines.

3. MI-28H Havoc (Russia)


The Mil Mi-28 (NATO reporting name ‘Havoc’) is a Russian all-weather, day-night, military tandem, two-seat anti-armor attack helicopter. It is a dedicated attack helicopter with no intended secondary transport capability, better optimized than the Mil Mi-24 for the role. It carries a single gun in an undernose barbette, plus external loads carried on pylons beneath stub wings.

2. Kamov KA-50/KA-52


The Kamov Ka-50 “Black Shark” is a single-seat Russian attack helicopter with the distinctive coaxial rotor system of the Kamov design bureau. It was designed in the 1980s and adopted for service in the Russian army in 1995.

The Ka-50 was designed to be small, fast and agile to improve survivability and lethality. For minimal weight and size (thus maximum speed and agility) it was uniquely among gunships to be operated by a single pilot only. The Russian designed Ka-50 Hokum also can carry 24 ?Vikhr? missiles, four 20-round rocket pods, or a mixture. The Hokum also can carry the AA-11/R-73 Archer air-to-air missiles, which makes the Hokum a very capable threat against opposing attack helicopters. The 30mm 2A42 is also mounted on the Hokum, albeit more like a fighter?s cannon. The Hokum?s top speed is 350 kilometers per hour, and it has a combat radius of 250 kilometers.

1. AH-64D Apache Long Bow


The Boeing AH-64 Apache Attack Helicopter was known to be the preeminent and most powerful anti-armor weapon system in the Gulf War. Designed to perform its combat missions day or night and in adverse weather, the Apache was designed specifically to meet the rigid requirements of the US Army’s Advanced Attack Helicopter Plan. The Apache is equipped with state of the art electronic technology and fire control systems. The firepower is awesome. The Apache can be loaded with 16 AGM-114 Hellfire Missiles, 76 70mm folding-fin aerial rockets or a combination of both – in addition to 1,200 30mm rounds for its M230 automatic cannon.

Science and technology rocks. Wonderful innovations.We need some of these in Nigeria.Ftc by the way

Our shilka can bring all ten of them down at once.

tit: Our shilka can bring some of them down at once.

Fixed!

among them which one did Nigeria govt buy

zeemahn: 4. Eurocopter Tiger

MTU-Rolls Royce engines are beasts!

mainheart: among them which one did Nigeria govt buy

I heard that they othered for some Apache helicopters.

Since 600BC

So Nigeria own no follow? This list is not complete

WoW...

Let them borrow us some of these Choppers for just a week to crush the crushable in sambisa. Afterall, no war in Italy, Spain, France even in South Africa we can quickly use it, wash it, fuel it, return to owner and we shall be grateful.

The south African Rooivalk might go into extinction soon, after all they only have 10 of those in service, and they are still lamenting the cost of production. Well i praise the ingenuity of the south Africans i ve seen the way they ve been making Africa proud in the area of aero space technology. I once saw an upgraded version of the mi35 by a south African company and you would have thought they were planning to use that beast for ISR with all the raders, pods and men i cant even recognise those things because they were all ingenious. Also heard the south Africans have been flying space tourist into space for a long time, although it wont make the headline cus its a private foreign program and they are not actually carrying xouth Africans in south Africa but Americans and rich Arab folks

tit: Our shilka can bring all ten of them down at once.

you ve obviously not read about the M28, that thing is a flying battle tank, uparmoured to survive threats from manpads and AAA guns, but bros una talk dey vex me sometimes we are talking about force projection with this beast you are talking about your mold outdated shilka SPAAG that even boko haram can now afford to use its extracted guns. Bros i think what we need in Nigeria are dedicated military avionics and electronic system producers like they have in south Africa.

nigeria, a country of 54 years old but totally on the ground.

We suppose to be producing this kind of things, but bad leaders.

I heard the Marine One is the most sophisticated with attack and defence capability. Not sure how true tho.

juman: nigeria, a country of 54 years old but totally on the ground.

We suppose to be producing this kind of things, but bad leaders.

Nigeria has been hausalized, we can only move at the pace of hausa people

okosodo: Nigeria has been hausalized, we can only move at the pace of hausa people

Yeah Bad Leaders and Useless Citizens.

Do you know that: what you start can change the world

Let stop puting the blames, Lets use our Brains.

Apache is the most popular, it might not necessarily be the most effective.

NGN-APACHE Fighter. This attack helicopter is designed to sit in the workshop (Hangar) while Boko Haram terrorize the whole of North east.

What deprives Nigeria from having one of these attack helicopters? The world have grown past the time of ground combat operation. You sit in your base station and watch the drones do the job. We should invest in drone technology.

No Balck hawk on the list?
the best rescue helicopter ever made

Good Looking Birds but that APACHE Bird make brain ooo
