Yet i find it ironic that every major war chopers have been deployed by a major power, in large numbers (so far there are only two, Vietnam and Afghanistan) neither side managed to achieve a victory, even though their enemy had none themselves. In theory they ought to be a complete game changer, but in fact they haven't been. All they've achieved is an increase in enemy casualties (increased loiter time vs aircraft) and a decrease in friendly KIA's (due to faster evacuation of wounded)

Probably the most interesting thing I have seen for a long time, excellent production and well done Tiff as narrator. I was a bit foolish at one point thinking maybe I could improve on some of these designs, then the Merlin and then the Comanche, someone did it already ! Then I realised how old this production is, how much have things moved on since ? It is time for an update and I for one wish to see it. Design, the battle ship grey and camouflage exteriors are long lived and tested, the interior however is bland , I have an idea that the interior should be much more distinctive and user friendly, use of colour to make areas more instantly recognisable and faster to get to, plus a more comfortable and pleasant place to work generally, I get it that these operators are highly trained and can most likely find controls with a blind fold on, however some ergonomics maybe an enhancement for sure. Your thoughts on this will be taken into consideration and appreciated.

During WW2 the Germans came up with the first helicopter but it was 2 Polish-American engineers, Piasecki and Sikorsky, competing with each other, who came up with designs that became the big break-throughs in helicopters, Piasecki became part of Boeing

Talk about 'map of the earth', that pilot was awesome. We had great views of all ground area on the mountains we were skimming around! And the whole ride was like a cruise in a Cadillac. Smooth, not bumpy, and with the pilots grace in flight skills, fluid and non-distracting so we could focus on spotting ground troops et al. Loved that mission!

The North American Rockwell OV-10 was a great aircraft indeed, excelling in its multi-role capacity including observation, close air support, and light attack from Vietnam to ODS. That being said, the OV-10 was a turboprop airplane, whereas this video is about helicopters. The OV-10 was originally developed by the USMC as part of their Light Armed Reconnaissance Program by a group of people appointed for the specific function of creating such a vehicle, the very definition of a committee. The USAF and Navy (yes, the Marines are part of the Navy yet distinct enough to deserve recognition as a separate branch) quickly became involved in the development of further OV-10 variations all of which were subject as part of the yearly defense budget to review by Congress and yes, all of this meant more committees. You seem to be making an argument to pride in the USMC's no-nonsense modus operandi and against bureaucracies in general, and your intended point is well-taken. But it's worth noting that a committee is simply people classed together and designated for a specific purpose, a meaning which has other labels like, for example, "team", (research team), "group" (development group) and so on, and therefore is not necessarily an automatic negative as that associated with other types of committees. Point being, it's not like the OV-10 was conceptualized, developed, constructed, tested and funded for mass production in a vacuum by a small group of personnel answering to no one. Rather, the process included several committees of various types working together to fully implement this outstanding aircraft. In any case, the often-overlooked OV-10 was a fine aircraft with a long service record both in the US armed forces and elsewhere. Outside the USA, the OV-10 saw its longest service in Columbia and according to some reports was also used successfully by independent operators as a smuggling vehicle. In conclusion, the Rockwell OV-10 in its various configurations was an outstanding (and relatively cheap) multi-role airplane with a rock-solid service record that continued to be successfully utilized, especially by the Marines, well after the development of the A-10 Warthog, a testament to its value and efficacy. Again, the OV-10 seems, at least to me, to be one of several military aircraft which is frequently overlooked in contemporary articles and videos documenting airplanes which served successfully, sustainably and for such an extended period as to deserve at least some representation and pop-culture adoration like that afforded more iconic military aircraft. So, I'm pleased that you mentioned the OV-10 Bronco, despite it being an airplane and therefore not included as part of this video mini-documentary.

Cool 👍

@@paulrevere2379 there are few videos about it, to be honest i can't remember the name of the new thing, the apache suffers same issues as the abrams, it became a very heavy plataform and the cost of keep it in shape and the updates start to cost way more than a new heli. In the demostrations the new plataform is very very fast and reliable.

The replacement of the AH-64 has already been tested, it failed to make contract against the AH-64.

yes because humans are piloting these machines not monsters

I miss them. OH-58 crew chief/mechanic. Sounds like Tiff Neddell

26 September 2018, the last remaining Sea King variant in Royal Navy service was retired. Need to update their info! Feels like 2000’s show Also the Commanche was cancelled due to US army wanted more and more requirements. They wanted Dual engines, stubb wings for weapon pylons, more range. By the time it all came to show the army had the A10 and AH64 doing all roles that the Commanche would take up.. so was becoming a big waste of money. Hence cancelled

How old was this documentary? a lot of clips showing CRT monitors in the sim control rooms Comanche is ahead of its time. too bad canceled ;(

It was filmed in 2002, so it's almost 19 years old.

The guts of the Comanche turned the Apache into the Apache Longbow.

Clearly dated (Commanche was cancelled in 2004) but nonetheless entertaining and informative. Interesting to see how convinced they were of the Commanche being revolutionary and the helicopter of all helicopters, but in 2021 most people won't know what you're talking about if you mention the Commanche helicopter. That said I am convinced that many of the advanced technologies and concepts that found their way into modern military helicopters come from the Commanche program.

The Comanche is in service but the army uses it overseas

VERY GOOD COMBAT MACHINE
