Comparing the Hind and the Apache is even dumber when you compare how they fight The Apache stands off and attacks at a hover from afar shooting missiles, guided rockets, and it's gun The Hind on the other hand keeps moving. It uses its speed to come in and get out of a target area fast in order to confuse and scare the enemy with semi-surprise attacks. They're both designed for 2 very different styles of combat. The Apache could very much mimic this attack profile but it wouldn't have as much speed or armor to get that personal and the Hind could hover from afar but it's weapons don't have the range nor does the Hind have as good maneuverability from a hover to just drop below cover or start evading whatever enemy fire does come it's way.

Most attack helicopters do not have an ejection seat, most have a hardened shell around the crew. If the helicopter is hit the pilot has to crash land the helicopter and the hardened shell will protect the crew from the impact (it really depends on the situation how survivable being shot down is). However there is an exeption with the russian Kamov Ka-50 & 52, these helicopters have explosive charges on the rotor blades and when the helicopter is hit and the pilot ejects, these charges will blow of the rotors. Then explosive lines on the canopy blow away the glass and a rocket with a rope attached to the seat is fired up into the sky, pulling the pilot out of the helicopter. The effectivenes of the ejection seat is questionable at best because the explosive charges have a high likelihood of failing, especially with subpar russian maintenance. The combat effectiveness of these ejection seats has been put under alot of scrutiny in the war in ukraine, where the russian pilots rarely eject and in the cases where they do the system has not been very succesfull.

There are youtube videos of Warsaw Pact military exercises, MiG-27-s lead the attack, dropping cluster bombs and mines over NATO infantry, which resulted in a horrible slaughter of infantry and immobilized NATO tanks which were suddenly surrounded by a mine field, then came the Hinds, picking up the tanks and isolated pockets of armor, and then the T-72-s rolled over what remained.

I seriously doubt that the crew are protected by plexiglass (acrylic). Most likely it's polycarbonate. Doubt the writers of this thing know the difference, tho.

If the Americans think the Soviet era choppers are obsolete why don't they supply Ukriane with American Vipers, Cobras, Black Hawks etc.

The end statement is critical to understanding this war.. UKRAINE wants out from under Russian meddling.. and there in you have all NATO members wanting to give AIDE but in limited technology.

The only thing worth understanding is that the United States overthrew the democratically elected government of Ukraine and turned it into a pro-American nazi hellhole

Im pretty sure that lady's wrong when she said that helicopter is the world's only assault helicopter. She must of never heard of our USA apache helicopter. The apache is the world's best assault chopper folks!!

Serbia bought a squadron of Mi24s from Cyprus, and by doing this stopped these helicopters from ending up in Ukraine

that's the saddest looking model helicopter I have ever seen

These are Eastern European choppers. Almost all jets and choppers Ukraine had at the beginning of the war were lost long ago. Anyway these choppers can't be used effectively in this war. Even when they launch their unguided missiles with a pitching up maneuver, it's basically a suicide mission.

I wouldn’t say helis are useless in this war. Check out Mi-28 and Ka-52, they contribute a lot

If they are very low and never come close to the front, they should be pretty much immune. Tossing rockets with upgraded ballistic comp is not as inaccurate as many ppl might think.

@@cdgncgn Yeah, ka-52 and mi-28 are pretty accurate even with unguided missiles, mi-24 is a different animal.

They could have found a better plastic model for the poor guy, jeeez!

Sorry to burst your bubble, but as a helicopter pilot, and having seen them up close and personal, it's my personal opinion that it's a piece of sh... too heavy, unable to hover in order to shoot accurately, too vulnerable to enemy fire, all it does is firing unguided rockets from too far for any accuracy, that's basically just a flying noise machine. The cockpits were not built for actual human pilots, cramped, poor ergonomics for using instruments, systems, or guidance systems, and let's not talk about redundancy and any crew survivability once it gets hit. It can only function in a one sided battlefield, with no opposition that can threaten it, otherwise it's a prime target for manpads or any AAA system, and it's inability to stay hidden while firing makes it completely ineffective. I'd rather go into combat in a Bell-407 with some rockets and guns than in this flying brick. Like most soviet equipment, tanks and aircraft, they never failed to look very intimidating but in real life usually go down with their unlucky crews.

The expert showing us on a tiny children’s toy was quite ridiculous for a serious subject.

Love those chin guns...

It's hilarious how this expert is explaining this helicopter using a hot wheels toy LOL

Long story short, if the mi 24 is with Russia, it's junk, if its with Ukraine, its a beast, ACCORDING TO WESTERN MEDIA OFFCOARSE. the Russians literally have an upgraded version of it with a professor s system onboard (EW system).

True,but that’s just propaganda from both sides

these things were built to Obliterate areas with overwhelming firepower between its turret on the nose and the things thos wings can carry...they are monsters

Ukraine got Hydra 70mm rockets because they could no longer get the Russian 80mm ones that are designed for the Hind.

The mi-24 is not a attack helicopter it’s a helicopter gunship it was designed to be a moti-role helicopter not a dedicated attack helicopter the mi-24 is made to transport troops in a battlefield as well as engage other troops and armored vehicles that’s why it’s well armored and armed. It is not a dedicated attack helicopter.

Outdated compared to Ka-52 firing Vikhr and Izdeliye-305
