I always believe this helicopter is worth to buy as alternative to many expensive options out there. Malaysia should have bought the Rooivalk

I remember seeing a Rooivalk for the first time when I was stationed at 61 Base Workshop. Magnificent sight.

Very brave pilots etc. That thing shouldn't fly. Due to no funds.

에어버스는 루이발크를 보면서
왜 타이거를 만들었을까?
루이발크를 더 발전시킬 생각을 해야될건데

[@deaddog3500]

Very slow

[@luckyramashala6229]

Out dated machine

[@meta4282]

not by a long shot. many of these analog mechanical systems still outperform modern day gunships. newer doesn't always mean superior.

[@troublemak3r134]

@@samsadeniz it is, in fact the Apache implemented a similar design of the machine gun aim system moving with the pilots head that was heavily based on the Rooivalk MK.1
