A Cold War stinger missile can shoot that hulk of metal out of the sky.

How hard does that thing crash when a sheep herder from Afghanistan shoots it with a side-winder?

The AIM-9 Sidewinder is a heat-seeking, short-range, air-to-air missile carried by fighter aircraft and recently, certain gunship helicopters.

Yeah right, a sheep herder.

Dude, get a brain! A missile/torpedo nowadays can shoot and destroy any aircraft or submarines even of the most advanced models. For example, a 2-billion dollar stealth aircraft has been shot down by a basic anti-aircraft missile battery during the 1999 NATO bombing of Serbia.

Dont need to be a pro to shoot down sophisticated aircraft if you have the right equipment at a given position.

Well it has some chaff decoys against that kind of threats.

Plus, it's a very manoeuvrable helicopter, thanks to it's contra-rotating co-axial rotor system design.

Trump all yo asses!

They are trying to make one together with some Italian consortium, but it's gonna take some time. Meanwhile they need some to fight against Kurdish separatists.

They talked to the US on buying Cobra/SuperCobra helicopters, but the deal has been turned down. So now they are up to for Russian stuff.

yeah, I remember once they've bought some S-300 just to find out the ways how to destroy them in a combat situation.

that was really neat and all, but what was that helicopter doing that any other helicopter couldn't do?
