so you could call it a recon/attack helicopter.

makes sense giving a recon chopper weapons

like for example

a commanche is watching some warehouse in Pakistan (no offence to anyone) and they see OBL showing up. instead of waiting for attack choppers are planes to come in and blow the warehouse of the map, the commanche fires a coupla missiles at it, job done OBL gone..

nice theory, but they scrapped it :'(

Yes, something like that, except it's main role is attack, not recce.

RAH-66... means that recce was intended as quite a big part of its role, otherwise they would not have put it in the designation.

Anyway, Kiowas are more 'observation' helo's, I think serious recce with a chopper is still a bit risky and can better carried out by UAV or aircraft. That's probably why they intended to give the Commanche a recce role, because it would be stealth....not that angry guys with RPGs would care about that...

The Kiowa Warriors will be replaced by the Bell ARH, Armed Reconnaissance Helicopter, I forgot to mention these above. Pretty big order, 368 helo's for 2.2 billion USD.

Apperently Australia is buying the new Eurocopter Tiger thing. Im shocked that we didnt buy another American piece of crap. everything else we have is.

Like we replaced out Leopard tanks with stupid Abrams.
And we ware replacing our F-18's with F-35's.

WHAT IS AUSTRALIA"S FASINATION WITH AMERICA?????????????

Hm. The Tiger's pretty good.

Oh, politics, i suppose. Singapore's using the F-16s, 5s, A-4SUs, F-15s coming, M16s, M-113, AMX, some other pieces of old vietnam junk too... Although our REAL tanks are all Israeli made and hidden underground...

Isn't Aussie supposed to be allied to Britain first, then USA???

Nah that changed when Japan declared war on us and the US in WW2. I didnt see Britain sending troops to Australia, no, we had send our boys there.

Did you know that when Australia looked like it was going to be invaded (never was thankfully) that Britain would only send 1 battalion of OUR soldiers back home. Ever since then weve been closer to the USA. and the Brits screwed us over in WW1, Gallipoli. Bascially, Britain has treated us like a thing to catch bullets so their precious soldiers dont get hurt.
