Yes, I do.
compare the KA-52 and the Apache, for example.

So you think its reasonable for anyone to pay 90k for
???
You don’t have a clue how arms manufacturers aim to maximise profit.
and you have no clue how aviation industry and to which standards they work or how big contracts for military which set of spare parts is part of works. No one ordered Sack of bushings for 90k dollars, it was part of huge procurement worth of several millions and some one just picked one thing from it and divided the whole cost by single thing on the list… this nonsense was completely debunked and you just need 3 minutes to find it out.
lol.
Show me another nation that has access to the LMUR’ im waiting.
You mean other nation’s ERA that underperforms severely compare to Russian ones? Lmao even.

Your example are helicopters that are essentially almost half a century old designs? And what exactly am i supposed to see? That coaxial rotors are cool?

Uh, if we’re comparing design age then thats not what I’m referring to. I’m refering to the fact that the KA-52 is cheaper than the Apache for similar performance (+ ejection seats!!)
on russian propaganda leaflet maybe :)
on russian propaganda leaflet maybe :)
I read the article you sent, and the high costs were due to… other companies literally artificially raising the price of the final product.
Source?
What exactly is ‘russian propaganda’ about my statement? You’ve got to be trolling at this point.
lol, lmao even

Best example of Russian Bias:
There just didn’t got any reason to play others TT
Wanna clarify?
Sure. What facts ? :)
Very good example. So where do we start? How many KA-52s have been shot down using MANPADS ? After all, the KA-52 simply has the same, cheaper-made defense system as the Apache … :)))
I would also ask why they have such a short service life, but I guess there is no point… (:
Where do i even begin to debunk this lmao.
- Has the apache faced near peer threats with modern MANPADS?
- Has it seen as much use as the KA-52 has of late? Especially when they were used agressively earlier on in the war.
- Has it been used consistently for an extended period of time?
- Has the US faced ANY near peer foe in the last 30 years? Has it faced a foe backed by many countries supplying it with its own weaponries?
Whats next? You’re gonna say ‘muh T90M sucks bc they got more destroyed on the battlefield than Abrams/Leo’?
Maybe you wanna clarify first. Which versions are you even comparing? Because if youre comparing an upgraded KA52 to a newly built 64E price wise then maybe the comparison sucks
Im not comparing specific models, just generally, because i dont have all that time unfortunately 😭
you clearly didnt :D
since that big shouty representative just cherry picked something from something and didn’t provide any evidence whatsoever , I am about to work with what I know and how things works in aviation (military) and that’s Contract Averaging: In some massive spare parts contracts (e.g., $10 million for 100 different types of parts), the total cost is sometimes divided by the number of line items for accounting simplicity, making a bag of $100 bushings appear as a $90,000 line item.
Which is complete nonsense, because if you want to claim “similar performance” you should very much specify which version youre talking about since there are quite the differences. Comparing a first gen Apache from the mid 80s to a 52 from the late 90s wouldnt make any sense
So we’re just relying on your opinion?
