Flying a brand new one over the Boeing fence on a maiden voyage is one of the best flights ever.

Nice! I did some work there as an outside contractor. Badass plant. Walked the assembly plant. The guns get mounted separately by the military branch there behind a razor wired fence.

We all have our own native people, just be kind, no war.

Wow, you must be so proud of him...thank God we have people like yr son to protect us

Nice

Awesome

Thank you very much for your service !!!!!

I started on PV95.

Please sir, give him my thanks, and my respect!! The very best to you as well! 🇺🇸Grandpa🇺🇸

I bet, I envy him. Trek him thank you for serving from me!

What? the Hind?

Is he a Warrant Officer? Best rank in the Army no one has ever heard of.

Great!!!

You aren’t kidding! That’s amazing! I found reference to it here: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helicopter_hieroglyphs

Lockheed AH-56 Cheyenne was better. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/nLhdpZmDt5fSeoE.html

So is the a10

@@jfar301 it could easily be compared to the A10 lol its fitted with nothing but instruments of death and thats there only single purpose and there as agile in the air as a airplane

@@abram730 Everyone will have there opinion all I can tell you is what I have personally seen the Apache do on the battlefield and the number of my fellow soldiers lives that its saved and the absolute devastation it inflicted

@Jonathan Perley I love the comparison

George carlin said something similar about shell shock... look it up.

@@mehdiachouri I so wonder what he would say about the current US "president"...

@@henrikkoberstein he already said garbage in, garbage out

To be even more clear, the US is made up of Germans, Japanese, Russians and Italians. Just to name a few.

Aren't we suppose to get brand new designed Copters, way advanced ones? They look high tech and are twice the speed or more with new technology also. Our new toys will go in some. You don't want to be at the receiving end of those either.

Made in : USA, Italy = Made for soon replacement. Made in : Russia, Germany, Japan = = Made for use forever.

Cough t80. For one example. Jet engines with very low service lives. Just a few examples. Not all Russian weapons are like an ak47

@@Whiskey4myHoz sweet reply my friend! LOL

Well said! Miss that sound of the Huey.

Those are two comletely different types of helicopters. The Blackhawk replaced the Huey, the Apache replaced the Cobra.

Well said!!!

Thank you!

"Death Dot"

Needs a mini gatling gun as optional. Nam era Cobras had them, both Army & USMC models.

Not according to Trump-

I went to X-Prize with my NASA/ Boeing guy Oct. 2008. I was pretty cluless then. Hot day. I just took pics of stealths, the pilots, spy planes. Watched the test aircraft have issues, men evacuated. It was a hot day. Security didn't even check my purse. It's harder to get into a Bengals game! So, on the drive there I said "why dont you just bend the fabric of space and jump through?" You should have seen his face, then a quiet smile. Dad was a prominant astronomer, made his scopes, obsrevatories and developed his own film. There's a reason for that. I just work in finance 40 years. I guess it's a mystery.

Desert strike and I have it on the gameboy lmao

@@mikepie6988 ah yes my bad ,thanks. it was 30 odd years ago!!

@@chrisprobert6 your all good man great game there is 2 sequels too it too I highly recomend jungle strike that game kicks ass.

Things are so different...the sychie has changed so much. My dad couldn't talk of WW2 till his late 80's.

Hind was literally designed to be a flying IFV according to Soviet military leadership.

God bless Poland. Respect from North Carolina!

Isn’t a red chequer for Croatia.

@ayyy lmao not the brightest

@MrNotadream - not arguing anything. I merely pointed out the development of the MI-24.

@@jms_wttrs9228 Yeah

Nah,Ka52 is the competitor

The Army had some AH-1F Cobras (single engine) in Somalia

''Where were the Apache's?.''......On the reservation.

One of my favorite shows back i the day Airwolf

Loved that movie

Great movie!

Great point! Hits home today for sure.

Hoooorah!

They are spreading the Sound of Freedom!!!!

@@ApacheRanch Interesting. I always felt good about them. Every other day for about 3 weeks this happened. They come in 5's. Last chinooks were 3. 1 Osprey. Apaches 5. I have pics. Thanks for letting me know. I'm a Patriot. I always wave at them. The night ones I don't unless inside. Its wild out here. The house just shakes 2 minutes.

I'm 40 minutes S of Wright Patt on freeway. Nothing else here. Maybe thats enough.

V-22 Osprey 2 weeks ago.

Pics won't send. Oh well.

Yes, yes they do.

Bfgei.

@@DobermansRock the SIKOSKY ! PROUDLY MADE IN THE U.S.A.!!

Wow .really .was it scary overthere?

Hang gliders had them also the Piper T tail had one with a transparent window in the skin so you could inspect it.

I’ve flown KA-50 in dcs flight sim and it’s a cool helicopter but I seriously doubt the Ka52 has the things they have in the simulator on the Ka50. Like these helicopters are supposed to have eyepiece sight that you can use to lock cannon on enemies 8km away and reliably hit them. You can also use Vikhrs missiles to hit armor 8km away using the laser tv pod with good optics I think up to 16x or 24x zoom, I forget exactly but it’s a long way. You can even turn off part of the targeting system and fire the weapons further, so I’ve hit some targets at 10-11km with the cannon. All the videos I’ve seen released by Russia has the Ka-52 pilots lobbing their dumb rockets from 2km away, and using cannon locked straight ahead while blindly strafing and flying directly over the target. So they know where the target is but this is the best strategy to attack with this helicopter?:) This is why they are burning in the fields, they are flying like a WW2 pilot in a P-39. So it seems they don’t actually have the eyepiece targeting system for the cannon or the guided missiles. In the sim I can pop up above trees and take out an SA300 system and a half a dozen tanks from 5km away, and I suck as a pilot:) So I don’t think Russia built what they advertised, because otherwise the videos Russia has released would show the helicopter using stand-off weapons and being a stealth beast. I don’t think they actually have the laser guided weapons, like the Vikhrs anti-tank missiles. They seem to just have the cheaper dumb rockets, which is basically the worst weapon that helicopter can carry and a huge waste of it’s advertised capabilities. Instead of the 16 anti tank Vikhrs it can also be loaded with 2 (possibly 4 on the bigger ka-52 winglets) huge missiles called KH-25’s which are amazing to even sink ships with but apparently don’t exist either lol. That chopper can even lock onto planes and other choppers and do anti air pretty well. If they had any of these weapons they would definitely be showing videos of pilots firing them and using them in Ukraine. Russia seems to have build another parade propaganda helicopter like the T-14 and the highly limited edition, never seen in Ukraine SU57. I can’t wait to see one of these things gone through to see what weaponry and optics systems they actually have, and if it was a lack of weapons which we know is an issue or the helicopters just don’t have the modern targeting systems. Sorry for the long post I have just been thinking about this chopper all month lol.

@@alexburke1899 I see moderns AH’s as snipers in the sky in all means due to the incredible technology used for these weapon systems Russian soldiers do not have proper training and their leader does not care.

I think that’s Casey Kasem.

The AH-64 can be armed with Sidewinder air-to-air missiles. No troop-carrying Hind carries air-to-air missiles. Even if I stretch my imagination to its limits, I can’t imagine a scenario in which a Hind pretends to be a battleship and uses troops firing from portholes to deliver a broadside to an Apache. At best it would annoy the Apache enough to shoot back. At worst one of the Hind’s passengers would fire a rocket or missile at the Apache and the overpressure within the cabin would injure or kill everyone nearby.

@@rtrThanos Yeah, I agree, it is a stretch. I only brought up the troops shooting out of the sides as some kind of means by which a Hind might cover its flanks close-in, maybe give the fat bastard a fighting chance. You're right, though. It's not very likely.

@@rtrThanos Ehm, Hind can carry AA missiles on its wings...

@@dawedwscz1098 lol you pulled that out of your ass

@@ApacheRanch ok wow thats quite long actually. Some information said also that the Americans wanted to replace Abrams 2025 but its also going to be longer in action. I think if the States want to develop new Helicopters and Tanks, they want that stealth design like on Zumwald... but its just so expensive and also complicated .. i think they tried that on AH 66 Comanche but were unhappy with it when i remember correctly thx 4 the answer btw ;)

well so did the hind in Afghanistan...both are awesome machines

you got google for that idiot
