I have a question not regarding the crocodile’s combat record.
How accurate is the (twin) 30 mm fixed gun installed on the Mi-24 (I know it has another name because of the new type of gun installed(it is a different version), but I can’t recall it)
Mi-24P (Pushka).
Helicopters.
4th picture….Japanese Cobra?
Not bad…not bad at all. How many Havoks are to be delivered in total? Where are they being built (Kazan, Ulan-Ade) ?
Decided to do another big comparison, this time, with helicopter profiles, in wonderful colour. 😀 Enjoy!
The photo doesn`t work anymore 🙁
How many Mi-28s are in active service?
This is a photo from a magazine. They arrow points to the hatch/door.
So, I`ve been looking at some 3 view photos of the Havok and there`s a large hatch/door on the port side just bellow the engine exhaust. That could be it.
I also heard something a compartment. How true is it? I don`t know.
And An-26 has a ramp behind, while An-24 hasn`t.
Thanks. It is a very hard image to make out, the one with the Jag.
Bulgaria also had a few 25s…and it was neither rich or with a large population.
What are those in MLD`s post? #64 post
An-30 Romanian Airforce. Photo taken by me 2 weeks ago.
Uzbekistan (seen from a cockpit of their Mi-8)
That`s actually a Mi-17 😀 :diablo:
Didn’t Mil “specialists” said that the Coax Rotor is not good and not battle proff in the first contests.
What struck me is the thing with the blades hitting each other? How the heck that can happen? since are in paralel and subjected to the same forces, basically if on rotor is twisting up, the second rotor will twist up to … unless one Propeller blade was defective and broke during the maneuver and that hitting the second rotor…
then where is the ejection seat?:)
No, I don`t think the rotor disks are paralel. The distance between blade tips on the starboard side (in forward flight) is smaller than the distance on the port side. This has to do with disimetry of lift (disimetrie de portanta). On the lower rotor disk lift tends to be bigger on the starboard side than on the port side while on the upper is reversed.
Also when turning the helicopter the rotors get closer. You make a left turn (stick+pedal) rotors get closer to the port side. Right turn (stick+pedal) blades get closer to the starboard side. I hope I got it right, it`s pretty complicated, I had to make a schematic.
