patches689: No, you do not know anything about MANPADS. The Hinds were brought down by Manpads used by the mujahedeen. If the tables were turned the casualty rate of Apaches would be the same. The Hind can hover just as well as another helicopter. Your paltry 10 90% french helicopters won't be able to stand Manpads either. 2 Likes |

Henry120: Hind strugels to hover when carrying a full combat load. What went wrong? So, what might have gone wrong in the case of the Sunday crash? Was it bad weather? The “Shaitan Arba” (Satan’s Chariot)” as the Afghan rebels called the MI-24 has been disadvantaged most by its limited deployment capabilities in terms of time of day and weather conditions. Army spokesperson Felix Kulayigye told Daily Monitor on Tuesday that “We are aware that it was the weather that brought problems, nothing else!” A report by the Russian pilots, who used the Mi-24 during the Afghan war, say inadequate on-board navigation systems and poor radar, limited the use of the helicopter in adverse weather and at night. According to Russian battle reports, technical shortcomings of on-board radar and navigation forced the Russians to employ MI-24 helicopters mostly during the day and fair weather when visibility exceeded 1.5 kilometers and pilots could get a clear look at their targets. Col. Gen. Pavlov, the commander of Russian Army Aviation, says these rules meant that 95 per cent of days in February 1995 were listed as “non-flying days.” The US Centennial of Flight Commission, points in documents that cockpit visibility for the early Hinds was extremely bad, forcing Mil to redesign the cockpit so both the pilot and WSO sat under individual bubble canopies. This gave the Hind a prehistoric appearance. Over the next several years, more modifications were made, such as replacing the nose-mounted machine gun with a cannon and adding sensors. Still, by Western standards, the Hind has a poor set of navigation and electronics instruments. The Americans narrate that during one incident in the early 1980s, an American AH-1G Cobra was flying along the East German border when a Hind was ordered to intercept it. The two helicopters played a game of chase along the border, with the US pilot constantly pulling into a sharp climb to force his faster opponent to overshoot him. Eventually the Hind pilot pulled back too hard and his aircraft started to tumble. He pushed his aircraft into a dive in order to recover, with the intention of pulling back sharply before hitting the ground. When he pulled back hard on his stick, the main rotor blades struck the tail-boom of the Hind and the helicopter crashed, killing all aboard. This problem—the Hind’s tendency to damage itself catastrophically when the rotors hit the tail-boom—has long plagued the aircraft. Was it high Altitude? It was in Afghanistan, where the MI-24 became most notable. Much of Afghanistan is a mountainous desert, and the helicopter was the best means of putting troops into rebel Mujaheddin controlled areas. Hinds often rode shotgun to provide support or were later used to attack ground targets. Given their successful operations in high altitude areas in Afghanistan, some aviation experts dispel the notion that the helicopters that were flying in sequence over Mt. Kenya could have crashed due to high altitude. However while the planes fly up to an altitude of 5,000 meters, Mt. Kenya, Africa’s second highest mountain, stands at 5,199 meters above sea-level. This means that an Mi-24 pilot cannot fly over the mountain and would have to go round it, according to Kenya Aviation website. The website goes on to say the helicopter that arrived in Garissa, MI-17, can reportedly fly as high as 6,000 metres. Unforgiving According to Dwayne Allen Day, a senior programme officer for the Aeronautics and Space Engineering Board of National Academy of Sciences, the MI-24 is not easily maneuverable, making it a problem when flying at high speed close to the ground. “The Hind is a difficult and unforgiving helicopter to fly. Unless a pilot is very careful, he can cause it to fly out of control or cause the rotors to collide with the tail-boom,” writes Dwayne in the US Centennial of Flight Commission. “Although the Hind is fast, it is not very maneuverable, and this is a problem when flying at high speed close to the ground. In addition, a fully loaded Hind cannot hover and has to make a rolling take off. The Hind’s performance suffered in the hot, thin air of Afghanistan,” he added. http://www.monitor.co.ug/SpecialReports/The-MI-24-crash--Was-it-a--case-of-poor-judgement-/-/688342/1481562/-/aqtfbmz/-/index.html 1 Like |

Henry120: I know enough about MANPADS to know that the hind is more susceptible than normal attack helicopters And no, go look at any combat footage of the hind, it doesn't hover and use the land, the makes gun runs from up high- perfect for MANPADS Rooivalk for example hovers low, uses cover and exploits IR clutter to perform its attacks, it also uses shoot and scoot tactics by using defilade positions to "Pop up" fire, drop back into defilade, relocate and then rinse and repeat |

lezz: You see, I predicted long before it came that you will racialise this topic and reduce it black and white. You African do not want to come to terms with the fact that whites in SA are legitimate South Africans just like R-Kelly is an American. By the way, since 1994 black SA have become millionaires beyond reasonable expectation. As I have said before, lottery which is won by majority blacks turns almost over 120 black SA millionaires every year. To be a millionaire does not mean you are super reach but it only put you on their league. http://m.africastrictlybusiness.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.africastrictlybusiness.com%2Flists%2Fcountries-most-millionaires#2857 |
