Flying high in blue sky and makes difficult to spot.[/Q
While unloading or loading who is going to do the cover up? The concept of combining both gunship and transport is not very well received by most of other countries beside Russia. First you make an oversize helo which becomes a big target and lack much agility and limit the area it can goes in since its so big.
It will be better stick to dedicated gunship and transport. It just like trying to make an AWACS double role as a refuel-er which is not an good idea.
thanks for saving me to explainSame camo as PA Mi-17s. I can understand how it blends in, from above a a jet will have trouble locating it
read comment above why the cmmoThen grey would have been a better choice. I've never seen that color on any Pak aircraft before, and the desert camo / blue mix just makes this stand out in the sky.

While they have done good job in certain aspects eg. AESA radar/EW, but when it comes to dakdaks and others, it is just garbage; hence ATE kits were made back in the 90's and kept up to date; you get full blown helmet sights etc which we excel in plus night vision etc.
It can handle fire better but yeah otherwise you are rightWhile unloading or loading who is going to do the cover up?

No joke; I have seen 2 cases where aircraft survived rpg! - one was impala which had a hit on the tail and managed to get back to base; the other was a SAAF dac where the rpg went thru the fuselage and out. In Angola, impalas were flying super lows - 10m heights and many attempts were made with rpg-7s.No helicopter in the world can survive any hit from a RPG, even if the pilot is sitting in a titanium hub. The helicopter will crash and burn and kill the pilots regardless. It might offer protection from small arms fire which is what it is really meant for.
I would be interested in seeing what the cockpit looks like, given that we have seen in insides of AH-1Zs and T-129s, both of which are coming to PAA as well. If it is not a glass cockpit, it would be very disappointing given how much these 4 Hinds ended up costing.

Watch all of this please
Yes but a controlled landing , would save the crew and for professional armies not tag tag Syrian militias , back can arrive instantly. In other words the MI 35 will be instrumental in saying life's even when other machines couldn't haveThat is quite impressive ... and the helicopter pilots skills are undoubtedly on display but from the looks of the controlled crash landing, its safe to assume that chopper is a write-off and whether the crew escaped or not, we wouldn't know.
I suppose I should not make an absolute statement like "never" but in most cases, any hit to a helicopter with an RPG that explodes will destroy or damage the craft enough that it would be a write-off.
