Russian company unveils plans for 5th-generation 'invisible' helicopters

Russian Helicopters is planning to create the world's first fifth-generation combat helicopter which experts say would be able to attack fighter jets and be invisible for radars, Russian daily Gazeta said on Thursday.
"We are working on the concept of the fifth-generation combat helicopter," the paper quoted the company's CEO, Andrei Shibitov, as saying at a news conference in Moscow.
Shibitov did not specify the characteristics of the helicopter, but said the company was going to spend some $1 billion on the project, with more investment expected to be allocated from the state budget.
First deputy head of the Russian Academy of Geopolitical Problems, Konstantin Sivkov, told the paper fifth-generation combat helicopters have never been created before, although the U.S. recently began working on a similar project.
He said criteria for a fifth-generation combat helicopter say it must be radar invisible, have an extended flying range, be equipped with an intellectual arms control system, be able to combat fighter jets (existing helicopters are generally only intended to hit ground-based targets) and reach a speed of up to 500-600 km/h (310-370 mph).
The project cannot proceed, however, unless it is backed by the government.
"If the government does not sign a contract, the idea will die on the vine," head of the Russian Academy of Geopolitical Problems Leonid Ivashov told Gazeta.
Ivashov said that with sufficient investment and good organization the new helicopter could be built within five years. Otherwise, the project may drag on for 20-30 years.
But he sounded skepticism about chances to carry out the project.
"We have been snatching at everything - fifth-generation planes, fifth-generation helicopters, but nothing of this have so far been supplied to the army - today the army uses helicopters produced in 1970s," Ivashov said.

Helicopters can't be stealth at all. They can be quiet, but advanced radars will detect them. If Bin Laden was hiding in a nation like China or Russia, the helicopters would have been shot down or tracked by the Chinese/Russians.

@NWguy83 Not in production

@funkballs1 Cup of hot chocolate and your slippers while i'm at it lol

[funkballs1]

@migfoxbat Not generally, but if you're going to use a video for a website link, it's a waste of space. Something like that could've been used as one of those announcements, the least you could've done is talk a little bit about it. Compare the dislike bar.

@funkballs1 So the release of information should be restricted to videos only?

Yeah when they went to put a bullet in Bin Laden, they used 2 stealth helicopters, on top of that they were apparently not only invisible to a radar but also very quiet... We are a few years ahead of the world on that...
