MikeCZA: Oh! I didn't know. Please tell us what the other dedicated attack helicopters have done that the mi35/mi24 haven't achieved? Writing long grammar won't prove you right. The funny thing is you didn't consider why you needed 2-3 Rooivalk to escort UN food. A single MI35m would have done that with ease. 5 Likes |

iblawi: Did you know that there were Hinds in east DRC before the Rooivalk? The UN had to require a Rooivalk because the bloody Hind was useless at stopping the M23. As MikeCZA pointed out, all decent militaries are replacing the Hind with something even more dedicated... You're stuck with it because you're collecting all the military rubbish. 2 Likes |

iblawi:It isn't about the Rooivalk but the design of attack helicopters which different companies are following accross the world from South Africa to China. What we are seeing is they prefer following the Cobra attack helicopter design even the Russians. Then why should we believe that because the Nigerian air force flies the Mi -24 it is of superior design than what other better air forces prefer? The Nigerian military experience in using helicopters is still isn't huge. Similar to fighter aircraft only started doing in the 2000s. Not a an air force an attack helicopter design company can visit for an insight like South Africa did with Rhodesia during the design of the "Cat's eye". Revolutionizing air combat forever!!!!! 2 Likes |

ssaengine: Unfortunately, u have being running away from the real fight. You prefer hiding under UN. Maybe we need to know why most countries have been running away from the Rooivalk dedicated attack helicopters. No country is willing to buy your dedicated attack helicopters cause they have no intention of escorting UN food. 6 Likes |

Nigerians and South-Africans always quarrelling, always arguing. Why can't we all respect each others differences, live in peace and post the pictures we all want to see. Why always squaring up for a fight? We might not like each other, but we should respect each others differences. 1 Like |

iblawi: Kindly state which real fight we have been running away from? Why aren't Nigerian troops in Mozambique's streets when political tensions flair up? Why are you not patrolling there? That statement is a dum.b as you thinking/believing South Africa has any God given right to enter DRC by itself. Every attack chopper, jet, tank etc ever developed has been purchased? Everything made gets bought? And particularly in the defence industry, only the best items ever get purchased? L.O.L...weak |

Henry240:It was and still remains one of the cost cheapest attack helicopters in the world. Introducing new types comes with new doctrine, SOPs etc no short cuts there unless military contractors are brought in to fly them. Formulating those and testing takes time. In urgent need of that capability rather stick to what you know instead of introducing new types. Similar if South Africa was threatened today by an enemy amassing fighters in a near by country the first decision will be to increase the Gripens and upgrading to the E model before acquiring another type say the Rafale. Holding the line until....... The RPG-7 is the most used rocket propelled grenade today but is it the most effective? HE..LL NO! 3 Likes |

If only the best items ever get purchased, forums like this would not exist. Everyone would agree. The threat would be 5 pages long. Go do your own research on Rooivalks history and why things happened. 1 Like |

iblawi: Flight characteristic, narrow fusalage( presenting a smaller target to the enemy) etc maybe? But why isn't that design being taken up by aircraft designers from South Africa to China? Last on the escort thing. There are Mi-24s in the DRC under the same MONUSCO mission in 2013 they straffed M23 rebels threatening Goma. But the rebels captured the city and the helicopter attacks were stopped. Both the Rooivalks and Hinds are tasked with escorting UN resources in hot areas. The UN requested the Rooivalks at the prospect of a high tempo fight. 1 Like |
