I just wonder, when you lose 1 or 2 of these on the battlefield how long does it take to build replacements? Can building new ever keep up with battlefild losses?
US times its releases to see what the Brits do and improve on it , even though we're all using a clear German design I like the Boxer but its got a silly tilt to it
I think we all know this order will be scaled back, reduced and eventually cancelled entirely by the government due to budget cuts. We’ve seen it time and time again…
@CannonmangamingYT Basically, it's a 91 million dollar aerodynamic lifting body, with a twin turbine rotor system. In other words, the AW149 is a transport helicopter, that kicks butt.
Hard to take this video seriously as an accurate source when the opening shot that isn’t a CG render is footage from the Mil helicopter factory in Russia showing a production line of Mil-mi 26 Halos…. They’re a cool helicopter for sure, but shouldn’t the footage reflect what’s being discussed? 🙈
Who is paying for this ? we do not even have enough people or equipment in the middle of this crisis we are bankrupt unless it is for illegals and Foreign aid seen quite a few uploads like this over the last couple of months but again who is paying our troops are living in defunct quarters and have No hot water fantasy island if you think we are buying all this kit even the Tempest is dodgy with costs.
No need with modern programmable rounds, there's multi function rounds that can airburst, and go through walls before detonating and the AFSDS that is for tanks, HESH has had it's day and modern armour has largely rendered it less effective than firing AFSDS at them, besides it must be cheaper making AFSDS rounds than HESH as it's just a machined Tungsten dart wearing a sabot.
Our politicians for decades have been ruining our armed forces. They are cheapskates and prefer to fill their own pockets. That's why we have so little Challenger 2s let alone Challenger 3s.
AWACS was reduced from 5 to 3 just to save 12% of the deal type 45 destroyers were reduced from 12 to 6 and now they are talking about new Destroyers but having 3 to 4 what a joke how can they justify the 65,000+ Civil Servants in the MoD!
Want to start building these Ship's for the 2030s. And before they go on about Money. This makes a lot of Job's for the areas. Plus the UK holds the 3rd largest amount of American debt. With some $700 billion dollars at the moment Oct 24.
44 helicopters that are getting old and as aircraft gets old, it cost more to operate, aircraft avilability goes down and cost to maintain them get more expensive. Which compounds the cost of operating old equipment. So yeah, it’s lot of money, but as time goes, you’re wasting more and more money.
