Eh, no worse than the Russian Mi-24 which had a heavily armored cockpit, but the tail could be easily damaged by small arms.
People will find a way, intentionally or not, around your defensive design. True for code and military engineering alike.
- pavel_lishin 17y agoAt least they learned from the heavily armored helicopter whose gigantic windshield was made of non-bulletproof glass.
- modoc 17y agoI was trying to find a reference for that! Any pointers?
- sundeep 17y agoI believe he was referring to Rambo III. :)
- modoc 17y agoThere was a reference to the Russian helicopters windshields not being bulletproof in Afghanistan in a sci-fi or geek-y book I read a few years ago. I haven't seen Rambo III, so I know it's not that:) Possibly a Neal Stephenson book? Not sure. Also couldn't find any facts about it online.
