There is an interesting link in the news thread about the possibility of the Denel Rooivalk attack helicopter production to be restarted.
One of the options is to design a new platform based on the technology of the Rooivalk.
As the Rooivalk itself is heavily based on the Puma/Oryx helicopter, maybe it would interest joint-development for parties such as:
a) South Korea? the KAI KUH-1 Surion is also baed on the Puma. Maybe they would be interested in developing an attack heli based on the rooivalk with the powertrain of the Surion?
b) Indonesia? PTDI has a lot of experience with the puma/super puma and builds parts for airbus helicopters.
c) Brazil? Helibras?
would love to see a modernized rooivalk flown…
