Ohh really...?? Thanks for the tip captain obvious. I never said APKWS is compatible with the Mil Mi 35, the Russians can also make guided rockets that can be fitted with the gunship. So try not to misquote me.
Now tell me, what new capabilities does the AH-1Z Viper bring to the table regarding Nigeria's COIN operations?? What can it do that the Mil Mi 35s in the inventory can't do and the already incoming T-129 Atak unlike the AH-1Z Viper that is expected to be delivered by 2025??

Faithful007:
Quote me when the Russians have made their own guided rockets then.

Ah1Z has a more powerful engine and carries more weaponry, it has precision rockets, has skids for unfavorable terrain. Outranges them all.

T-129, albeit less powerful, is actually more of a US/Italian helicopter than Turkish; with US engines and power train ( less powerful than AhZ engine) Italian airframe and construction, and then Turkish avionics.

The last time I checked, the Mil Mi 35 has 6 hardpoints that can carry a payload of 6,500 kg compared to the AH-1Z Viper with 4 hardpoints that can carry a payload of 5,700 kg, so what the hell are you bragging about??
The Mil Mi 35 can be used to transport and evacuate troops to and from mountainous areas because of its tyres which has an advantage over transport helos with skids and it can to carry 8-10 personnel in it's cabin unlike the AH-1Z viper that lacks a cabin.

Now I think I shouldn't even be responding to you in the first place.

What did I tell you initially? I told you that the Mi35 and the AH-1z are not the same kind of helicopters and shouldn't be compared. You could have at least done a research on that and found out that the Russians have the Mi 24, which is an attack helicopter.

The Mi35 is the Russian equivalent of an armed UH60. The Mi24/ka50 and Ah1Z/ AH64 are all in the same class.
