Definately will be KA-52..its the best combat heli ever...

[Vämpi]

What Ka-52?   :o    AH-64D Longbow Apache!!!!

why have the most countrys the AH-64? Its the only one that is battle tested in modern wars.
Ok the AH-1 Cobra too, but with the Longbow Radar have the Apaches a advantage against  all others

What's the status on the Turkish Army selection? They have to pick between some of these. Decision has been postponed a few times, program cancelled and restarted. I think they restarted it again recently. The trouble is that Turkish industry should be getting the lion share of the production work, so maybe the US industry will loose this battle.

Talking about the Ka-52, how's that one getting along...? I haven't heard much about it since the first few pictures showed up. At least the Mi-28 is progressing, see the news about the Mi-28N variant.

Too bad the RAH-66 program was scrapped. Or was it at all. Please enlighten me.

I think, from the list above, the Ah-64D is more reknown. No doubt some Russian helo will come along with 10 times more explosive power and speed. But the Apache Longbow's just reliable enough for me. 

Oh, yeah, just wanted to add. The other helos in there, like the Eurocopter Tigre/Tiger won't really get a lot of publicity here, huh? I think it's a pretty snazzy thing, though.

And the Cobra is outdated

[Cobra2]

Definitly the AH-64 Apache...and the Cobra.

[Raptor]

Oh, come on. The cobra's not up to standard compared to the others in the list.

[Webmaster]

I don't know, don't forget the new AH-1Z, might do 10x better than a AH-64A.

[Cobra2]

Yup, I love the AH-1 Cobra...and the OH-6 Little Bird
That thing going down the streets with rotary guns on the sides and troops sitting on the edge can do alot of damage

[Raptor]

AH-1Z. Yes, possible.
I like the Ka-50 design, too though, could you put that in?. Any idea why Kamov does them all with double-tier blades?

[Webmaster]

Yes, no tail rotor required to keep it from turning in the rotor direction. In this config no power is wasted on the tail rotor, giving more for lift, same for the Chinook design, although they are not in the same position. Tail rotor is in normal config quite vulnerable in combat, so that's maybe also a reason why they still use it. Some also say it's a less complicated design, but dunno if that's true.

[Raptor]

Hmmm, possible. It still looks a little odd, though. And you missed out the Russian helo NATO named 'Havoc'. Con't remember the original designation: Mi-? Does anyone know? thanks.
