Confirmed!!!!!! The downed Mi35p was purely an accident, contrary to popular notion that it was brought down by bokoharam.

krattoss:
little wonder why the Boko and iswap bastards haven't released a video mast*urbating around claiming to have shut it down.

Tochex101:

Are you at liberty to share further details.....pls do.

persius555:


These Cameroonian BIR forces field all calibre of Assault Rifles the arms industry can offer. Could there be a catch to this?

bidexiii:
More.

jakeporeshenko:

These helicopter Gunships have proven to be a game changer, just like when T72 tanks arrived in 2014 (I guess Boko boys adapted to those eventually) we need another 30 Mi35M for NAF

Xbee007:

We need an attack helo with coaxial rotors because of the vulnerability of the tail rotor to AA gun. In the recent photoset released by ISWAP, you could actually see them aiming up their AA gun fire, presumably, against NAF's helicopter. And that is not their first time of shooting at NAF platforms with AA guns.

I had no idea though that KA-52 is giving the Egyptian some challenges.

Maybe, we should just hope that the Super Tucano gets delivered before the scheduled delivery date just like it happened in Afghanistan. That would solve a lot of problems.

That's true the Egyptian airforce are still struggling with it the KA-52, in fact instead ordering more of KA-52 they went for more of AH-64 Apache early Nov last year.

I think the problem is not with the attack helicopter itself , it's the limited technical know-how of the EA. They still have to train and master these hardware it's new in there inventory. Even the western/European hardware comes with there problems and little setbacks. These same KA-52 is giving ISIS a bloody nose and tough time in syria, the question is how come the Egyptians are finding it difficult to operate

It's my own opinion, I might be wrong

The Mi-28, Mi-35m and Ka-52 are the most capable platforms in the Russian military for targeting and conducting self-generated precision attacks, whether ATGMs, cannon or rockets. Both also use the 80mm rockets as their main weapons, but unlike so many other Russian aircraft, they have modern targeting systems to find and destroy targets with greater accuracy than any Russian platform before them. Utilizing the OPS-28 Tor targeting turret with TV and FLIR capability (future airframes will carry the mast mounted NO25 radar similar to the American AH-64 Apache), the Mi-28 first saw combat outside Palmyra and have been seen operating in pairs.

The Ka-52, with its counter-rotating coaxial rotor blades, is the only attack helicopter to have ejection seats, which fire after the rotor blades have been detached by explosive charges installed in the blade fastenings. For targeting the Ka-52 carries a nose mounted FH01 Myech-1U radar along with the GOES-451.2 TV/FLIR system combined with laser targeting and designation. These advanced systems of the Ka-52 were recently used to help Syrian forces liberate Palmyra, which the Syrian government had to abandon in December 2016 to ISIS. Working with Russian Air Force Su-25 Frogfoots, the KA-52s provided targeting for the ground attack aircraft, allowing for round the clock attacks on ISIS positions.

Left for me I would prefer the T129 ATAK

This is a FAR MORE EFFECTIVE patform than the over crazily over priced and over hyped Tucano.

These flying tanks are actually cheaper to run and available immediately for peanuts used from the plethora of former and existing Eastern block countries. eastern europ?

Get the them upgraded with FLIR, etc and your good to go. You could procure 24 multiple sources not more than $6 million per unit a lot cheaper depending on your ability to negotiate and bargain as well as bribe unfortunately. You are dealing with corrupt eastern Europe remember.
