    Hmm, why not create a "Warrior-Avia"? For the crews of tanks and infantry fighting vehicles, they did.

      I think this will be implemented in Ratnik-2 for the Air Force.
      Now the Warrior is first of all the basis for a certain combat complex, with a bunch of buns in the form of scanners, detectors and tactical communications.
      Apparently they decided that for the time being it makes no sense.
      Z.Y. It will be funny if there is a neural interface)

      It seems that word for word repeats the article about tank body armor. They just replaced the tankers with helicopter pilots ...

      From the beginning, it is necessary to understand the reasons for their fall, but somehow it is still not clear - one night he fell, according to the second, the video brought more confusion than clarity, in the latter case - a home-made anti-aircraft missile ....

        On the second, there is some clarity on the video. Obviously not suggestive - there may be a grenade launcher, there may be a faulty NURS from the second helicopter (friendly fire).

    Equipment is very good, but this is a last resort .... better strengthen the protection of the helicopters ... otherwise it was advertised. "Vitebsk", "Lever" there is still little sense, losses are on the face

        The armor of the helicopter itself should save from this.

      Are you kidding, or you really haven’t noticed a second? 25 seconds of an open, high-temperature flame, this is a lot, for people who are in this nightmare, it's just eternity.

        I heard that they, because of the ugly design, were dressed back and forth so that the household would not be pinched :-)

        For protection against bullets and splinters. The Mi24 has no armored capsule, and the bartender with a PC or RPD had a chance to hit the pilot through the bottom or side of the helicopter.

          The main problem is that he has lateral blisters for the cab not made of bulletproof glass, the bottom and sides of the cab there are just normal. - armor plates are available, but the landing compartment is not covered in any way.

            If I'm not mistaken, modernization was carried out and the troop compartment was lined with aramid fabric from the inside.

        Why are you negative?
        I don’t know why the shoulder pads, I suggested that in order to drag (evacuate the pilot) from the fallen car.
