Well, I´ve grown tired of US da best and all the glory abour ´superb´ american weaponry, I do not like that style. Kamov later helis Ka-50, 52 are both great machines visually also. However I still love the good ole Mi-24, appearance and style of flying is what I love about it. A machine is still a number, I simply dont know why machines are given names. I think number explains it without that ´marketing´ fancy name. What I´ve grown tired of is that RT is mostly for westerners consumption, for who this might be interesting, when there is nothing new to find. Once you describe some weapon system, it would be nice if you´d provide number like 2A42, if they still use the BMP-2 gun, by the looks its modified, or did they get the bmp-3 one? I dont mean 100mm cannon tho. Alligators cant fly, but Kamov helis obviously can and better than normal helo.
