Yeah, if you're willing to forgo certain niceties you can make an extremely solid, albeit more basic vehicle that will last decades. Issue is with added complexity comes more moving parts to break, higher dependence on exotic materials/technology and more maintenance. As many modern militaries are learning, sometimes all you need is something somewhat basic that just works.

I flied this helicopter a few years ago, it is used to spray crops in Romania. The pilot used some wire to tie something at the engine and this make me nervous before takeoff, but the heli flied very nice though. I was feeling great and the flight was sensational! This one is also a romanian KA-26 if I look at the flag!

Это вертолет КА-26. Советский многоцелевой вертолёт с двумя поршневыми двигателями, разработанный в ОКБ Камова. Серийное производство велось на авиационном заводе в Кумертау. Всего было построено 816 вертолётов, в том числе 257 поставлено в 14 государств и стран мира. Летательный аппарат в основном применялся в гражданских целях, однако, также использовался ВВС Болгарии и Венгрии, полиции ГДР и ФРГ. Первый полёт 18 августа 1965 года Начало эксплуатации 1969 год. И это те самые калоши про которые говорил президент одной немаленькой теперь уже колониальной страны... Он говорил что СССР выпускал только калоши которые были никому не нужны. По сути этот вертолет свидетельство высокоразвитой цивилизации каким и был СССР.
