US Army convinced Boeing to donate helicopters to 30 military

The US ground forces have agreed with Boeing to buy the CH-155 Chinook military transport helicopters 47. At the same time, the total price was reduced by $ 810 million, which is equivalent to the cost of 30 combat vehicles.

This was announced by Colonel USAF Bob Marion. A contract worth $ 3,4 billion may be signed as early as May of this year, and production should begin in the 2015 year. Earlier it was reported that this delivery will be the last in the project Chinook, which promise to close by 2020 year. These helicopters have been operated since the beginning of the 1960-ies, for 53, they were exported to 16 countries of the world. Chinook are also produced in Italy and Japan.

There are a number of modifications of these machines, the US Army plans to conclude a contract for the most modern version - CH-47G, with a load capacity of 29,5 tons, which is 30% more than the previous model.

According to the agency Flightglobal MiliCAS, in service with the American Air Force are 513 helicopters Chinook in versions CH-47D and CH-47F. The helicopter develops speed 315 km / h and travels up to 740 km at one gas station. The cargo bay accommodates 55 paratroopers or 24 pairs of stretchers with wounded.

In 1988, the CH-47 transported a Soviet-made Mi-24 helicopter, which was abandoned by the Libyan army in the desert of Chad. The operation was successfully completed, although it was carried out in a sandstorm in the dark. CH-47 traveled 900 kilometers with the Mi-24 on an external sling, while it needed one refueling in the air.

Now let's look at the capabilities of our helicopters:

Well, let the kids boast. There was even a reason for them. And about the failure of the operation to rescue American diplomats in Iran, they quietly sniff in two holes. Although about the supermen, the film was still bungled. Although they were supposed to shoot about something else. BUT failure is the same shame.

[Michael-89]

Dear, you would have remembered even more anciently than the Eagle's Claw in Iran. By the way, today is the anniversary of the death of "Monsoon". You also say that kids can boast of their missiles and RTOs?

Americans started to squeeze for money,

No wonder: 53 years of production, the technology has been debugged, production preparation is not necessary.
The larger the volume of production, the lower should be the price-law of the market. Only in Russia does this law not always work.
The mind cannot understand Russia.

[танк]

They have private factories, money is competently invested in re-equipment, complete modernization, hence the quality and price, the private owner monitors tirelessly, and you can spend public money as you like, all the more we all know that there WILL NOT be anything! !! We currently do not release anything in large volumes, if only small arms. This is all from corruption, but it is already slowly getting better!

[sibircat]

For cost comparison:

The contract for the supply of 52 Russian Mi-171E helicopters to China exceeds $ 600 million

[Michael-89]

Bullshit table. Firstly, where is the Mi-28, and secondly, why is Huey not in the first place !? This is a legend.
The table should look like this:
1.UH-1
2. Mi-8
3. Apache
4.OH-6 Cayuse
5 Westland Lynx
6. Mi-28
7. Chinook
8. Mi-26
9. Focke-Achgelis Fa 223
10.UH-60 Black Hawk
It will be more correct, I think.

and all are american. There is a saying: every sandpiper praises its swamp.

[B_KypTke]

Once in this ten Kamov helicopters didn’t fall, which in many flight qualities are much superior to traditional helicopters ... then in the firebox such a dozen, no objectivity tries such a dozen.

Do you want to argue? Come on. The layout is bad, one pilot, an idiotic gun placement system, the impossibility of installing a radar, the absence of normal optics - should I continue next, dear?

[B_KypTke]

I forgot to mention the flight qualities: Climbing, stability in hovering, resistance to crosswind, and the performance of such a figure as a funnel. Shit? My dear.

[Waterfall]

Compared to AH-64A as a complex - rubbish. As a result of this circus, in the late 80s, a modern attack helicopter did not appear in the USSR, and even today.

[B_KypTke]

Talk about helicopters in general, such as design perfection, flight characteristics, safety, there are no equal on these parameters .. and still.

I have from you BLADE OF BLADES.

[Michael-89]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Stability, security, what are you saying? Well, remember how many cars crashed? Did you forget SHOOT?

[B_KypTke]

This problem has long been resolved by increasing the inter-hazardous distance and changing the design of the blades themselves, and in general I see the Ka-50 every other day, flights are very often carried out almost 1.5 km outside my window. no incidents though they make such that you will not see at any air show.

[Michael-89]

It's a lie. Forgive me, but Denis Mokrushin "tvver" who, he wrote this summer - not a single Ka-50 is in a flightable condition. Why are you lying?
By the way, the gearbox and blades on the Ka-52 are the same as on the Ka-50, do not lie. You are not schoolchildren sitting here.

[saymoo]

Stop taking andropovka. Not a single Ka-50 is in flight condition.

You Compare by price, but their price is strikingly different, as well as the scope, it's like comparing the Bus with the "Niva" on which you drive for potatoes

[танк]

It follows that the Mi-8 costs 11,5 million dollars, and the chinook 21 million dollars, 2 times more expensive, strange

[NAV-STAR]

You can spend billions when the bucks are the world's reserve currency and print unlimitedly.
As one American financier put it: "We print dollars faster than the Russians and Arabs pump oil."

If everything was as you say, amers would not be squeezed on the budget.

Well done. Whoever says anything, but for themselves they know how to live. Putin would have to be put on anyone like that (the central bank, you see the same thing, they would start living and the army would quickly be made strong.

$ 3,4 billion contract

A heavy modernized helicopter for 30k cu!? Give me five !!! (PS, and what will they pay wages to workers for? What will they buy materials for? Or has America switched to barter? Hard-working military helicopters, and soldiers in return will carry buns with poppy seeds?)

[Stiletto]

In return for the 30 donated helicopters, the USCILA government will give Boeing many millions of pieces of cut green paper.

[Kars]

US ground forces have agreed with Boeing to purchase 155 CH-47 Chinook military transport helicopters. At the same time, the total price was reduced by $ 810 million, which is equivalent to the cost of 30 combat vehicles

Normal discount, let the Boeing still look for such regular customers in our time.

The question is, why do they need helicopters if they cut the budget? They won’t be able to fly without money anyway.
