He just needs these for when he invades Guyana.

[BBell]

My Uncle was killed in one of those shot down. They need ground support as much as ground support needs them.

Apacheski?

One thing about the Russkies, their vehicles sling alot of payload, and they will take a good design idea wherever they get it from, as does the US (to all the fr idiopants who hip shot on these threads)

Ha ha ha ha!! The SNOOPY COPTER!

I’m sure Hugo’s new buttbuddie, Putin, promised him that. Just like he promised Syria that Israel would never be able to get through all those russian made radar defenses.
Those helicopters have one purpose and one purpose only. Too kill any civilians that might take up arms against a stalinist coup.

I don’t think you can call this as a copy of the Apache.It’s a derivative of their MI-24 Hind-with improved protection & weaponry & minus the troop transport capability.

I forgot the /sarc> tag

[Army Air Corps]

Sorry to hear that. Were your uncle’s remains returned home?

[SIDENET]

“Apachski”?

[rmlew]

it is virtually invisible to anti-aircraft defense.
uhm. Maybe to the Venezualan grownd defense. However, I think I could rig a two radio set to pick that up.
Is that a coffin for crew on the left wing? It should be!

[BBell]

His remains were returned home. There wasn’t much left, he was a Cobra Pilot and he had told my dad that if he was ever shot down he should not worry about being captured because the Cobra was nothing but fuel and munitions. I guess it went down hard.

[Leftism is Mentally Deranged]

Bad move.
This guy is a definite communist. He is dangerous.
What’s worse is that American leftists think that he is the greatest.

[4yearlurker]

Yep,that will keep the masses under control during the upcoming food riots. Is Sean Penn Cosigning?

[Travis McGee]

Only if the peons on the ground have Stingers. They don’t.

[Travis McGee]

You have grasped the truth.

[Enterprise]

Not yet.

[Army Air Corps]

Irony would be to supply the peons with Russian MANPADS.
