Dear santa...

@Agent1W Only if you still live in 20 years past :))) Today there is no "Comm-bloc" forces.

In 2004-2005 Polish Hind were flying in Iraq alongside US Apaches, operating from same air base. I even have a picture.

Basically major super-powers have learned that their own weapons sold to third countries can be turned against themselves.

@SpySolidLiquid How exactly Latvia was a slave of Europe when it was a Soviet Repiblic for half of century? :)

[SpySolidLiquid]

@BitnikGr nato doesnt change anything in countries, which are included in nato. Latvia was a slave of the europe before NATO - she remained slave after NATO. And btw, europe is getting tired of constant american dictation what to do and how to do. the end is not so far as you can think.

@Agent1W US, S. Arabia, Brazil, Cyprus, Indonesia, India.

Not only poor third world countries buy Mi-24/35. Not only dictatorship regimes buy Mi-24/35.

Man, no offense, but you have to brake off your stereotypes... really. :)

More "Hinds" fly in US than many poor third-world countries with despotism rule can afford :)))

[Agent1W]

@BitnikGr Ah ok. So "third-party" customers would get these weapons, perhaps third-world despots.

[BitnikGr]

@Agent1W Again... correction... "were getting". Today most of Eastern European countries are in NATO. They don't get "these kinds of weapons" anymore. NATO country won't buy a "Hind".

Look at the map. World changes constantly. Don't live in 80s. :)

[Agent1W]

@BitnikGr Not Comm-bloc as in power but perhaps locale. There's West and East. The Eastern countries get these kinds of weapons.

@iRawrJan No, you must ask Father Frost :)

@airbrusha19k even the abrams is vulnerable to a helicopter, isnt the exhaust like 1000+ degrees? so a heat seeker could lock on it? but even a few rockets to the exhaust port or top of the turret could knock out most tanks, and disable every tank i know of. i wouldnt want to cross paths with a hind in any thing that wasnt a fighter, and even then it has confirmed kills on jet aircraft. but i still think the apache has higher quality pilots, even if the engines are more delicate than the hind's.
