I believe it's only happened a few times in recorded history, with all of the heli vs heli dogfights occurring during the 1980's Iran-Iraq war when Iraqi Mil-Mi 25 Hinds (I don't know the specifics of the Mil-Mi 25 version but can only assume it's a later development or international export version of the more famous Mil-Mi 24) and Iranian AH-1J Sea Cobras (I believe an earlier version of the aircraft that the pilot in this video flew) periodically stumbled upon one another. Despite being radically different gunships, they probably both did about as well as each other with the AH-1J's scoring victories when they were able to sneak up on the Hinds and with the Hinds doing dramatic damage when doing full frontal attacks. Though not quite the same, on account of the target copters being transports, Iraqi Mil-Mi 25's in the same conflict also scored 43 kills against Iranian UH-1 Hueys.

She addressed some common misconceptions directly and effectively. IMO, the most important ones were: -- Heat-seekers pick up on hot engines, e.g. the exhaust tubes, not the hot gas itself. -- Helicopters work by "hanging" by the vertical shaft. With very few exceptions, they can't fly upside down and push against the shaft. Lack of aero-surfaces (wings/rudders etc.) means they're less agile than planes. They change direction by pointing the main shaft left / right / forward / back - but by far less than 90°. Consider the difference between a kid playing with a model airplane, holing it in his hand, and another hanging the same kind from a string. That's about the difference in reaction speed between plane and helicopter. -- Rotors aren't made of a single piece; unlike a fan, the angle of attack of each blade can change. For example, you don't let the rotor stop, you zero the angle of attack, or even go slightly negative, if you want to go down fast. That's faster and keeps the rotor turning. Once you want to maintain altitude, you set the angle of attack back to a positive angle. -- Rotors aren't very robust either. They are meant to support the weight of the helicopter without snapping in half, but foreign bodies tend to mess them up. -- Helicopters are generally not buit or equipped with air to air in mind. They're just not agile enough for that. Engaging in a dogfight with an attack plane (one that's meant for air-to-ground combat) is like bringing a sword to a gunfight. A helicopter is like a bent spoon in comparison.

Just to put into perspective for helicopters most people probably don't know, is sometimes helicopters can't even take off with a full tank of gas depending on the altitude, and heat. In the Middle East for example it's not strange for a helicopter be loaded with only half a tank and not even a full load of armements (Depending on what weapons they are using). The reason is because the hot air has much less lift and density to it, and the altitudes in the middle east, even when not in the mountains can be pretty high from sea level. This makes lift a real problem for helicopters out in the middle east.

Pleasant badass was my first thought.

"It probably would have burned up his legs." She's makin good points 😂

Engineer here. A few corrections here For the james bond scene, there are two wrong points. 1- you dont HAVE to load the rotor unless its a semi-rigid rotor. She's flying a Super Cobra and what she said applies 100% to that as mast bump is a pretty a quick way to go down. But on a fully articulated rotor (like on AH-64) or a rigid rotor system (like BO-105) CAN handle zero or even negative G loads no problem.. 2- While most helicopters CAN unload the rotor, its a bad idea from controllability perspective anyway, without any net lift from the rotor, a helicopter (with a single rotor) has no roll and pitch controllability. That is why helicopters do BARREL roll. You can't do normal roll on any helicopter because helicopter with a single rotor has no means of directing lift asymetrically same way a fixed-wing aircraft does.. But *every* helicopter, even semi-rigid ones can theoratically do barrel roll with different risk factors involved. Stupidity of the plot aside, barrel roll with a BO-105 is not only 10/10 realistic, its so easy and they probably did without any CGI effects with the same helicopter they've already rented. Also at 6:22, those are LAU-61 rocket pods. They don't carry 26 rockets, they carry 19. For Rambo, they've modded a Puma helicopter to look like an early variant of Mi-24.. Because it was 1980s they couldn't just rent a Mi-24 from Soviets.. After Jumanji, IMHO this scene was the most unrealistic one in whole series. If a Mi-24 took-off with intent to hunt a UH-1, it can carry up to 4 R-60 air to air missiles or depending on variant, 4 or 8 Igla-V air-to-air missiles. and since UH-1 in the movie don't carry flare dispensers, chase would end before it begins. Even with the shown loadout, a Mi-24 will have 4-barrel Gattling gun with 1400+ rounds at its disposal. Puma in the scene don't have gun, or lets assume gun is out of the question... AT-2 missiles at wingtip pylons are SACLOS guided so can be used againist helicopters. Even if for some reason, Mi-24 pilot wants to use rockets, in the movie he carries 4xUB-32 rocket launchers. So he has 128 57mm rockets under his wings. He wouldn't fire one every 10-15 seconds... He would just spray those rockets onto the UH-1 without getting too close, watching those rockets fly and adjust his aim. Think about it; firing 2 rockets every half-a-second, he has more than a minute worth of firepower... Scene is very cool and amazing to watch because it was shot with real helicopters with zero CGI, but how real? Its still 1/10.

The Blackhawk Down helicopter crash scene. The helicopter did indeed get hit in the tail rotor and was relatively slowly spinning, so it wasn't done for dramatic effect. Obviously it was rotating a bit faster than it did in the movie as mentioned by the pilot (Durant described it as just a whirling blur), the movie actually has the drama dialed back a little bit. Also, as for the Tom Cruise crash scene, she seems very certain the helicopter would have disintegrated, however there are lots of crashes of similar nature where the occupants survived... so I think she shouldn't be so certain in her assumptions. Fun fact: Tom Cruise actually piloted that helicopter by himself while operating the camera. He put himself in the spiral and recovered from it. Also... others have already addressed the acrobatic capabilities of lots of other helicopters. She says that it is unrealistic for a helicopter to do a barrel roll and she later goes onto say "except for the redubull heli" but that is not true considering there are other helis, such as the apache, british lynx and many others that others in the comment mentioned. I'm sure she was a great attack helicopter pilot, but she seems to not know where the edge of her knowledge exists. Not discrediting what she said though. Majority of the things she said were accurate but the things is that she might have been trained only for one model or rotor system in a heli, so she may not be familiar with the other helis.

Just two things... MI scene was as real as it looks- Actual footage. Also, the thing in Spectre, that would only be possible with the RedBull helicopter (BO-105), is real, as actually... in the movie it is the RedBull helicopter, also with his stunt pilot flying it (Chuck Aaron).

The Blackhawk Down helicopter crash scene. The helicopter did indeed get hit in the tail rotor and was relatively slowly spinning, so it wasn't done for dramatic effect. Obviously it was rotating a bit faster than it did in the movie as mentioned by the pilot (Durant described it as just a whirling blur), the movie actually has the drama dialed back a little bit. Also, as for the Tom Cruise crash scene, she seems very certain the helicopter would have disintegrated, however there are lots of crashes of similar nature where the occupants survived... so I think she shouldn't be so certain in her assumptions. Fun fact: Tom Cruise actually piloted that helicopter by himself while operating the camera. He put himself in the spiral and recovered from it. Also... others have already addressed the acrobatic capabilities of lots of other helicopters. She says that it is unrealistic for a helicopter to do a barrel roll and she later goes onto say "except for the redubull heli" but that is not true considering there are other helis, such as the apache, british lynx and many others that others in the comment mentioned. I'm sure she was a great attack helicopter pilot, but she seems to not know where the edge of her knowledge exists. Not discrediting what she said though. Majority of the things she said were accurate but the things is that she might have been trained only for one model or rotor system in a heli, so she may not be familiar with the other helis.

First of all, thank you so much for your service. Secondly, I absolutely loved your explanations. So much information packed into your reaction.

Interesting pointer about Rambo's "russian" helicopter: since (for obvious Cold War reasons) it was impossible at the time to get a Russian Mi24 Hind for filming, they mocked up an Aerospatiale Puma helicopter with the faux payload wings. The same helicopter had been used a few years earlier for the movie Red Dawn, where it sported also a faux nose sector to make it more similar to the canopy of the actual Hind Model-A, but was removed on the pilot's request because it made the helo's visibility much worse and the helicopter more difficult to maneuver

Interestingly, the higher ups in the US armed forces didn't Want to learn about what happened... Typically, most "Special Operators" prefer to Not speak to outsiders about Details of recent operations. However, the survivors of the Battle of Mogadishu believed other US soldiers, aviators, etc. Needed to learn. Such as how Islamic guerrillas adapted RPGs to attack helicopters! So, the veterans talked to Mark Bowden. His book is amazing, and he got access and information rarely provided to outsiders. Ironically, the US Army invited Bowden to give presentations, Not some of the veterans! (Shocking Bowden.) Pettiness against some of the veterans of the Battle of Mogadishu!

Nicely done one of the best aircraft reviews I’ve seen

Several things to unpack here, speaking as a retired USN/civil helo driver. First - yes, MRB are finely tuned and not like buzzsaw blades, BUT, there are documented examples of them chopping into things and still surviving. In Vietnam, LTJG (later CDR) Clyde Lassen chopped down a small tree with his HH-2 on a CSAR, at night but in the wrong LZ when parachute flares from the overhead CAP went out. Despite a heavy 1/per vibration, he elected to make another approach to where the two Navy pilots really were, turning on his lights to accomplish this. Under heavy fire from regular NV soldiers, a crewman ran out, grabbed both men, dragged them aboard, and the helo got airborne again. Clyde got the Medal of Honor, CP got the Navy Cross and both crewmen got the Silver Star. /// Second - the helo doing the barrel roll is one and the same as the Red Bull aircraft - a BO-105.. Very definitely could do that./// Third - helo-to-helo ACM is a thing. The USMC developed training for this and I personally practiced 1-v-1 maneuvers, with high AOB. So, it's possible. /// Fourth - the crash in Black Hawk Down is a little unrealistic, for the reasons you stated, but in general it's OK. I heard Mike Durant speak at his booksigning ceremony years later, and he told us that it was spinning so violently that his copilot was pinned against the left door and couldn't even reach the overhead PCLs to pull them back.

Of note - though the maneuvers may not have been reasonable - the flying in mission impossible was all done practically, and the flight seen in camera is very real - incredibly impressive flying by Tom and their stunt pilot crew.

There have been instances of rotors being used to clear vegetation. Sometimes, Australian UH-1 pilots in Vietnam did it in order to expand a clearing for landing. It was strictly unofficial, and no one spoke for either the quality of the ride back to Vung Tau or Nui Dat, or the subsequent usability of the rotor. I'd imagine that, regardless of the apparent condition of the rotor, they'd replace it anyway - just in case.

Since many are commenting, that only a "specially modified Red Bull helicopter" can do that stuff (rolls, loops): the BO-105 without any modifications can do rolls and loops. Long before Red Bull, German Army captain Karl "Charly" Zimmermann regularly flew those maneuvers with a "standard" army BO-105. Aerobatics with the BO-105 were essentially developed by three Army pilots: Kollman, said Zimmermann and Fuchs. The first looping with a BO-105 (and first looping with any helicopter) was flown in 1972. So, don't give credit to Red Bull, but to the MBB engineers (rotor head, rigid blade design) and those army officers. Red Bull is just "standing on the shoulders of giants".

I once had the pleasure of listening to a talk by Mike Durant at Embry Riddle, the pilot from the Blackhawk Down helicopter crash scene. The helicopter did indeed get hit in the tail rotor, so it wasn't done for dramatic effect. And going down it was rotating FAR faster than it did in the movie (Durant described it as just a whirling blur), the movie actually has the drama dialed back a little bit. Also, as for the Tom Cruise crash scene, she seems very certain the helicopter would have disintegrated, however there are lots of crashes of similar nature where the occupants survived... so I think she shouldn't be so certain in her assumptions. Also... others have already addressed the acrobatic capabilities of lots of other helicopters. I'm sure she was a great attack helicopter pilot, but she seems to not know where the edge of her knowledge exists.

The drama in the movie was dialled back a bit because they're actual US Army Black Hawks which were flown by real pilots in that way. They spun the helicopters as fast as they safely could.

In regards to the Mission Impossible crash, we had a Blackhawk go down doing a mountain rescue on Mount Ranier back when I was a SAR medic in Washington. Lost lift and dropped like a stone into the snow, then rolled, ejected one of the crew and rolled over him (snow saved his life, he got squished into it) and bounced and rolled quite a ways down the slope. Hull stayed intact and there were no fatalities on the helo. I have personally seen a Chinook and another Blackhawk go down hard, shear the tail and rotors off, and most of the crew and passengers survived (some fatalities on the Chinook as it dropped damned near 100 feet into the ground and broke in half). So, as Flyboy said, be wary of "experts". She also apparently didn't recognize an MI-24 Hind (well, a pretty accurate mock-up of one, anyway), one of the most iconic helos of the Cold War.

US Army Pathfinder here. Great video, would love to see Capt. Armour on more of these! Just wanted to mention one thing about the Hobbs & Shaw scene: The aircraft used in that instance is some sort of H-60 variant, most of which have a cargo hook capacity rated at 9,000 lbs. Still likely not enough to lift that sting of vehicles, and as Capt. Armour notes the amount of ordinance and fuel carried can mean the aircraft can't manage as heavy a load. However, I thought it was worth mentioning for the public since she stated the load of specifically an attack helicopter, and there are other helicopters out there that are designed to lift much more than that. The more pressing issue for the helicopter in this scene is where the load is attached: the wing. That is bad, bad, bad. There's a reason cargo hooks on nearly all vehicles, land and air, are centrally located. I'm not a pilot or aircraft engineer, so I won't speculate on what would happen if a heavy load was attached as it was in this scene, but I'm sure it's nothing good for anyone involved. Just something I thought should be mentioned. Really entertaining video and I learned some things about helicopters from the pilot's perspective as well. Much respect to Capt. Armour and all our aviation comrades, we love having y'all overhead. Cheers!

This was really good. I’m a little surprised that she didn’t know much about black hawk down as it was a crucial helicopter based tragedy. I also can’t believe she doesn’t know what a hind is.

Absolutely loved your intelligent commentary. I missed the 'pleasure' of the Vietnam War, but both older brothers, twins, served. One was a year as an FO on the ground early in the war, and then another year after fixed wing FS as an FO in the air. The other was 18 months as a Huey pilot. He was awarded 2 DFC's, one for being shot down (as you say, an RPG in the rotor will get you every time), but he managed to find a sand bar and put it down on the skids UPRIGHT. The helo was shithooked out the next day and repaired. Not...one...injury. The other was for gallantry and air support above and beyond the call. Basically disobeying his flight operations officer to go up in blinding rain and wind and provide flares to light up a firefight in which a large body of grunts was pinned down and getting cut to ribbons. They wanted to see to be able to direct artillery fire. So then he was flying back and forth through the dropping shells. Even went back to refuel once and went back out. I was just a kid of 13 or 14 when I read his citation, and I asked him, why did you do it? I'm sure you know his answer; you probably feel the same way every time you go up. "Cause if I was out there on the ground, I'd have wanted somebody to do the same thing for me." One thing to report/disagree with. They did use the rotors on the Hueys to trim banana trees in Vietnam when they needed a bigger LZ. Robert Mason reports that in his book Chickenhawk, and my brother confirms it. Great book for anyone wanting to experience the chopper pilot's war. A guy with 2 DFC's recommended it to me. The viewers might like knowing that Rambo is not actually firing missiles when he is pulling that switch with his index finger. I believe that's the radio switch, isn't it? Thanks again for the great video.

I remember the same passages in Chickenhawk (in regards to chopping through thin(er) trees with the rotor blades). An amazing book for anyone who's interested in what it was really like to be a young person in Vietnam and experience its horrors.

Check out the after-action report on the Mogadishu raid, the militia where targeting tail rotors that day (they modified their RPG-7s with metal elbows so the back blast could vent parell to the ground in a vertical shooting position). They did not show that in the movie because it was more dramatic, it was real. Unlike the movie (read the book it's so much better) 6 aircraft where hit and suffered damage that day. The only Blackhawk hit in the main rotor was the "Super 68" (the medic bird), it was hit squarely on the cover of the main shaft from above while inserting medics into Durant's crash site. It did an emergency landing at the port. Additionally, the Brits have been barreling rolling and looping their Lynx at airshows for years. It has a crazy amount of power. I saw one do it once way back in the late cold war when I was on active duty. Stay safe and thanks for your service. AATW!

Blackhawks and other utility helicopters can also be armoured to resist heavy MG but even helicopter gunships aren't built to be frontline battle vehicles, just tough enough to get out of harms way when things go badly

She did a good job, I hope they get her back to analyze more helicopter scenes.

When assessing overhead flying, a narrowing to the models that the expert knows becomes clear. The RedBull helicopter is a Bo105, the same type as in the clip. Only a few machines have official certification for this, but the Bo105 is suitable for aerobatics and not just with an advertising livery.

I was actually thinking the complete opposite. like has she actually even been in a helicopter? -Early on she misidentifies rockets as missiles, those are rocket pods lady. She later on gets it right, maybe because there is a missile sitting next to the rocket pods. -States that helicopters cannot roll but we've seen that they can long before CGI was a thing. -States having too much weight will not cause the engine to explode, I suppose she has never watched any tractor pulls, if you overload an engine, it can explode. There is nothing magical about helicopter engines that makes them any different. -Watches a live shot of two helicopters then states helicopters cannot do that, they were not even doing anything special. Talks about how unresponsive helicopters are then later talks about evasive flying and gives fight jet style examples, so which is it? -"Only the pilot fires that gun" actually no, and the guy in the front seat is not the pilot. A real military pilot would know that. -"It has a gun with three barrels that shoots lots of bullets" well yes but a three year old could have told us that, one would expect a pilot to know what their weapons are called. FYI it is a 20MM Gatling Gun. -She cannot understand why Hollywood uses tail rotor hits, well it is to create a survivable situation for the characters in the movie. -The enemy helicopter in Rambo is a Russian Hind, those wing things are not for stability but more hard points so that it can carry a larger payload. -"Its Rambo, who knows what kind of training he's gone through." Watch the movie, it is clearly stated that he is a trained helicopter pilot. -"They taught us to turn with the spin" when the tail rotor is gone you have no horizontal control, there is no turning, just an increasingly uncontrollable spin caused by the rotor blades. -The cobra started service as an army helicopter, might just be marines now as it is pretty old. -At least she seems to get the obvious things right, like helicopter crash = bad.
