  1.  @bilbosacquet1798  Its lobbing, it dates back to the 60s when pilots needed a way to attack the enemy but still out of sight The US doesnt do because both Cobra's and Apache have been upgraded with Advanced Precision Kill Weapon System (APKWS) which allows them to use their 70mm hydra with the same precision as Hellfire missile. Unlike the Mi-28 and KA-52, the Cobra and Apache can use the long bow hellfire to engage targets at long range precisely US forces are not shy about dropping hellfires on target. The Mi-28 and Ka-52 both use outdated weapons and tactics and it shows

  5.  @Beryoozka  The quote whirlwind is not an analogue of hellfire The Hellfire has multipurpose warhead designed for various target types , the Vikhr can only engage armor The Hellfire-L can be fired without unmasking as well its lock on after launch, again the Vikhr can't do that

  6.  @Beryoozka  Russia's problem with the Mi-28 and KA-52 is that Vikhr and Ataka are not fire and forget weapons They require the both helicopters to maintain a line of sight as well hover in position They also heavily optimized for anti armor More to the point, Russia's lack precision weapons have left the Mi-28 and Ka-52 to resort to run and gun tactics which is getting them smoked by MANPADS
