China stuff? No thanks.
They dun have good reputation in quality yet.

Looks like we will be seeing some interesting attack helicopter in the 2015 LIMA.

However, looking at the track record, after the 2015 LIMA, the attack helicopter will fall back to the A109 LOH.
*
Adding more loh is very likely.
I'm having some doubt on attack heli.
However a deal for attack heli are more likely to go through compare to mmrca.

I think Denel is quite inept at marketing the Rooivalk..
*
Rather than say inept.
I think no1 is convince with their heli.
s.africa should get large amount of it first, only 12 units produce so far who are going to convince by that.
To make the matter worse they dun have the money to cont the development.
I dun think any country want to take risk buying it.

This attack helicopter list has been going on since Dr Mahathir and Rooivalk was also one of the contender.

If you upgunned the EC725, it usually will not be a troop heli carrier .

Rooivalk were fall out of favourite long time ago.

well I could say in terms of payload, Chinook wins hands down.

but osprey compensate that with range and speed. the fear of the plane's safety is overrated though.

Nothing to do with spec and safety issue lar.
It just that i like these bird more than vf22.

yeah, but that was back in the 1990s. SA govt already pumped funding to its development and many upgrades was made. I'm just saying this bcoz we shouldnt be limiting our options to Tiger only, tho it is the favourites now..

if attack heli is being considered due to Lahad Datu incident, then maybe it wont be hevily armed anti-tank attack heli like the Tiger. Maybe it will more towards lightly armed fast ground attack heli..
*
The rooivalk project completely stalled since they failed to bid turkey attack heli project.
They no longer fund the project.
It also have not complete most of their development which been approved due to lack of funding.

We are lucky we didn't get rooivalk that time we could be wasted our money there.

I still prefer viper anytime. thumbup.gif
