round ammo capacity as well as a maximum of two aim-9 sidewinder air-to-air missiles a maximum of 12 agm-114 hellfire air-to-ground missiles and hydra 70 rockets the ah1z viper airframe design is based on the ah1w supercobra improvements in flight characteristics provided by the four blade configuration have caused an increase in flight envelopes maximum speed vertical ascent rate payload and rotor vibration level it is also called zulu cobra referencing its variants for a heavily upgraded version the viper still has a big bite three kamov ka-52 alligator capable of operating at high altitude and speed the two-seater ka-52 is considered as the best attack helicopter in the world from the usual winner the apache by many analysts the alligator's anti-ship missiles have a better range than the apache and the helicopter boasts similar armor and air-to-air capability developed on the platform of the already effective ka-50 black shark of which the alligator is in effect a two-seater variance the ka-52 represents an evolution especially from a technological point of view the ka-52 is a twin engine helicopter with coaxial rotors a trademark designed by kamov it features the arbolet radar system it has a glass cockpit equipped with the latest avionics and can reach a top speed of 161 knots with a range of 285 miles the mainstay of the ground attack capabilities of the ka-52 is the automatic shipunoff 2a42 30 millimeter cannon and a mix of 9k 121 vicar anti-tank missiles and kh-25 semi-active laser guided tactical air-to-ground missiles air-to-air combat is not just an option for the ka-52 the alligator is equipped with vimple r-73 air-to-air missiles with a range of 19 miles four me 28 n havoc the mill me 28 which has the nato reporting name of havoc was a product of the cold war designed as an anti-tank attack platform similar in scope and function to the american hughes ah-64 apache series it is one of the two standardized attack helicopters fielded by russian forces the other being the ka-52 alligator it carries anti-tank missiles that can pierce a meter of armor it also has pawns for 80 millimeter unguided rockets five 122 millimeter rockets grenade launchers 23 millimeter guns 12.7 millimeter or 7.62 millimeter machine guns or bombs it also has a 30 millimeter cannon mounted under its nose it is an all-weather day night military tandem two-seat anti-armor attack helicopter it has no intended secondary transport capability better optimized than the mil me 24 for the roll it has external loads carried on pylons beneath stub wings today the helicopter is fielded by only two other powers beyond russia these being algeria and the rebuilding iraqi army as such only 126 other type have been completed but the design stands as one of the most fearsome armor-defeating platforms in service capable of tackling all known armor protection types 5. airbus helicopters ec-665 tiger the tiger is the best-selling european attack helicopter called tiger by the germans it is also known as the tigre in france and spain since 2003 the armies of these three european countries used the ec665 tiger the twin engine attack helicopter created in

knots the helicopter is equipped with a 30 millimeter giant 30m 781 automatic cannon and can load up to 8 agm-114 hellfire anti-tank missiles and 4 stinger air-to-air missiles unlike the choices made by the competitors the eurocopter engineers opted for an alternate configuration of the board seats which are placed in a tandem configuration the pilot is in the front seat while the gunner seats rear this is a deadly effective feature both crew members can manage the helicopter controls and weapons slopping rolls when needed the tiger is designed to perform armed reconnaissance air or ground escort air to air combat ground firing support destruction and anti-tank warfare day or night and in adverse conditions 6. ah2 royvalk the danelle roy valk is an attack helicopter manufactured by danielle of south africa roy valka's afrikaans for red kestrel the south african air forces operate only 12 danel ah2 roy valk attack helicopters although it looks like an entirely new machine the roy
