In the United States amounted to the ranking of the best combat helicopters of modernity. Military Watch edition called five “most dangerous” helicopters in service. Most of the rating occupy Russian cars.
The authors of the publication emphasize that the impact helicopters remain among the most complex in the production of weapons samples. Russian and, to a lesser extent, American models retain leadership in the development of combat helicopters, writes Military Watch.
Opens the Russian Ka-52 “Alligator” rating. The authors of the publication emphasize that Ka-52 is one of the few combat helicopters that have been commissioned after the end of the Cold War. The conditioned second place was given to the newest Mi-28NM “Night Superhaul”, which only in 2016 made the first flight. Speaking about him, Military Watch notes that Russia is the only country producing several models of shock helicopters.
In the middle of the ranking, American McDonnell Douglas AH-64 Apache is located. The most common impact helicopter in the world is rapidly obsolete, Military Watch writes. Also, the authors note the high cost of service AH-64.
The American helicopter follows his opponent in the Cold War – the Soviet Mi-24 and its modifications, including Mi-35. The authors of the Military Watch emphasize the prevalence of the Mi-24, which is armed with several dozen countries.
Fifth place gave the Chinese helicopter Z-10M. China’s helicopter construction is significantly lagging behind the United States and Russia, but the latest modifications of Z-10M allow you to compete with Russian and American helicopters, the authors of the Military Watch are considered. The authors of the publication emphasize the developed Avionics Z-10M and “high availability”, including cost and ease of service.
Earlier it became known that the Russian helicopter Mi-28NM “Night Superhaul” will receive a new unmanaged Rocket C-13B. The rocket is characterized by a three-mode explosion, which allows you to choose a delay of the combat unit.
