      @@innelator6941 I'd doubt even that. The Mi-24 is unique in this case. Too assault for a light-armed transport heli, too underpowered for a comparison with the DAP modificiation but can keep the troop carrying function in anyway, the DAP doesn't carry troops. Also, when the Hind is full-loaded, it doesn't take off exactly vertically. It takes off almost plane style, requiring a runway

      Comparing the Hind and the Apache is even dumber when you compare how they fight
      The Apache stands off and attacks at a hover from afar shooting missiles, guided rockets, and it's gun
      The Hind on the other hand keeps moving. It uses its speed to come in and get out of a target area fast in order to confuse and scare the enemy with semi-surprise attacks. They're both designed for 2 very different styles of combat. The Apache could very much mimic this attack profile but it wouldn't have as much speed or armor to get that personal and the Hind could hover from afar but it's weapons don't have the range nor does the Hind have as good maneuverability from a hover to just drop below cover or start evading whatever enemy fire does come it's way.

      Yes, but that is only in English language usage. In some foreign languages there is no distinction as they may be missing either of the 2 words, or they have the same exact meaning. And what Battlefield 4 has thought me, is that Hydra 70 rocket can be turned into a precision guided munition (PGM, aka smart rockets), blurring the whole missile/rocket nomenclature, enough to be understanding of how others are using their language.

      You don't know the definition of 'dedicated.' The Mi24 is COMPROMISED as an assault chopper because of its ability to carry troops.
      A Huey with missiles and guns is lethal but the military decided to build a dedicated assault version without the troops section to make it a smaller target and thus the Cobra was born.

The aviation industry was there too. But the new leadership of Ukraine decided to destroy it all, steal and sell it. As a result, the military-industrial complex was strangely at a low level, and if they could produce anything, it was simply to modernize Soviet-era production equipment.

      Apache is a sophisticated combat helicopter it's not a Toyota corolla. It requires a full team of technicians and other specialists for maintenance , repairs and support etc. Training a competent maintenance and suppoet crew takes years, also lets not forget pilot training. Not to mention the logistical support for spare parts and munitions among many other things. So yeah you can't just " hand" them a brand new piece of equipment and call it a day

    BACKGROUND OF THE CONFLICT
    "Residents of Donetsk and Luhansk regions of Ukraine at the All-Ukrainian referendum on March 27, 1994 agreed to the federal land structure of Ukraine and the consolidation of the Russian language as the state language of Ukraine along with the Ukrainian language, and also supported the use of the Russian language in the territories of Donetsk and Lugansk regions of Ukraine in the field of labor relations, office work, when preparing documentation, education and scientific activity.
    The new authorities of Ukraine, now glorifying the fascists Bandera, Shukhevych and their followers, have become intolerant of the historically established norms of life, as well as the will and religion of the inhabitants of these regions. The actions of the Ukrainian authorities forced residents of certain districts of the Donetsk and Luhansk regions of Ukraine to initiate a referendum and vote in May 2014 for the adoption of the Act of Self-Determination of the Donetsk People's Republic (89%) and the Act of Self-Determination of the Luhansk People's Republic (96%).
    For eight years, residents of certain districts of Donetsk and Lugansk regions of Ukraine have been living under shelling- and large-caliber weapons. According to the United Nations, more than 10,000 people have been killed, more than 50,000 injured, more than 1.4 million people are displaced inside Ukraine and more than 2.5 million people have arrived in the Russian Federation in an emergency mass order in search of asylum. The Ukrainian authorities have stopped paying pensions and social benefits to residents and established a complete economic blockade of the population and enterprises of certain districts of Donetsk and Luhansk regions of Ukraine. It is quite possible to compare the actions of the Ukrainian authorities with the genocide of their own people."
    As it became known from the originals of secret cipher telegrams captured by Russian servicemen already during the special operation, on January 22, 2022, the commander of the National Guard of Ukraine, Colonel-General M. Balan, gave the heads of the northern Kiev, southern Odessa and western territorial administrations of the National Guard of Ukraine an order to prepare one of the strike groups for offensive actions in the zone of the so-called "operation of the united forces" (OUF) in the Donbass. All measures of the nationalists' combat coordination were ordered to be completed on February 28, 2022, in order to further begin performing combat tasks as part of the Ukrainian "joint forces operation" in the Donbas.
    Since February 2022, Ukrainian troops have multiplied artillery attacks on Donbass with prohibited large-caliber artillery weapons. Against the background of false statements about the desire for peace, Kiev has begun large-scale artillery preparations for the offensive of a shock group of troops drawn to the east of Ukraine with the support of aviation and missile systems.
    On February 21, the leaders of the self-proclaimed Donetsk People's Republic (DPR) and Luhansk People's Republic (LPR) Denis Pushilin and Leonid Pasechnik appealed to Russian President Vladimir Putin with a request to recognize the republics.
    Denis Pushilin, head of the DPR: "On behalf of the entire people of the DPR, we ask you to recognize the Donetsk People's Republic as an independent, democratic, legal, social state. We also ask you to consider the possibility of concluding an agreement on friendship and cooperation between the DPR and the Russian Federation, providing for cooperation in the field of defense."

There are youtube videos of Warsaw Pact military exercises, MiG-27-s lead the attack, dropping cluster bombs and mines over NATO infantry, which resulted in a horrible slaughter of infantry and immobilized NATO tanks which were suddenly surrounded by a mine field, then came the Hinds, picking up the tanks and isolated pockets of armor, and then the T-72-s rolled over what remained. These huge helicopters were darting from one target to the next like a giant grasshopper, or suddenly emerged from under the trees and put a guided missile into a "NATO-landig ship" in the waters.

    • @M_V_L
      @M_V_L 8 месяцев назад

      Most attack helicopters do not have an ejection seat, most have a hardened shell around the crew. If the helicopter is hit the pilot has to crash land the helicopter and the hardened shell will protect the crew from the impact (it really depends on the situation how survivable being shot down is). However there is an exeption with the russian Kamov Ka-50 & 52, these helicopters have explosive charges on the rotor blades and when the helicopter is hit and the pilot ejects, these charges will blow of the rotors. Then explosive lines on the canopy blow away the glass and a rocket with a rope attached to the seat is fired up into the sky, pulling the pilot out of the helicopter. The effectivenes of the ejection seat is questionable at best because the explosive charges have a high likelihood of failing, especially with subpar russian maintenance. The combat effectiveness of these ejection seats has been put under alot of scrutiny in the war in ukraine, where the russian pilots rarely eject and in the cases where they do the system has not been very succesfull.

    Sorry to burst your bubble, but as a helicopter pilot, and having seen them up close and personal, it's my personal opinion that it's a piece of sh... too heavy, unable to hover in order to shoot accurately, too vulnerable to enemy fire, all it does is firing unguided rockets from too far for any accuracy, that's basically just a flying noise machine. The cockpits were not built for actual human pilots, cramped, poor ergonomics for using instruments, systems, or guidance systems, and let's not talk about redundancy and any crew survivability once it gets hit.
    It can only function in a one sided battlefield, with no opposition that can threaten it, otherwise it's a prime target for manpads or any AAA system, and it's inability to stay hidden while firing makes it completely ineffective. I'd rather go into combat in a Bell-407 with some rockets and guns than in this flying brick.
    Like most soviet equipment, tanks and aircraft, they never failed to look very intimidating but in real life usually go down with their unlucky crews.
