USA: Russian helicopters are better than American ones

American experts recognized the superiority of Russian helicopters over American ones.

The American edition of The Drive published an article in which military experts recognize the superiority of Russian Mi-17 helicopters over American UH-60 "Black Hawk". The opinion of military experts is due primarily to the fact that the American helicopters UH-60 "Black Hawk" supplied to Afghanistan for the replacement of Russian Mi-17 simply can not cope with the combat missions.

"American helicopters UH-60" Black Hawk "do not have the proper load capacity, besides, their reliability sometimes causes a lot of doubts, so in terms of their capabilities, the Russian Mi-17 (the export version of the Mi-8MT helicopter - .), are more effective ", - reports "The Drive".

Among other things, with proper weapons, Mi-17 helicopters can provide more effective support from the air, as previously claimed by the Afghan authorities. The low altitude of the flight of American "Black Hawks" does not allow them to work in the highlands, and the complexity of operation requires high training from the pilots.

Nevertheless, despite these facts, the position of the US Department of Defense (Pentagon) on this issue remains unchanged, which can seriously complicate the fight against jihadists.

* Mi-17 is a Russian multipurpose helicopter, which is an export version of the Mi-8MT helicopter.
