What purpose does it even serve?

>>29754575
Judging by the bubble windows and reverse slope fuselage, I'd say ground observation stuff

Also what the fuck is up with the huge tube support for the back wheels.
It doesn't look like they do anything but be massive weight and drag.

>>29754575
it's a cargo heliopter, but it only works with externeal loads

>>29754531

That was a good find anon

>A K-MAX has been used for demolition work by having a wrecking ball as a slung load.

>>29754611
what the fuck kinda payload can it haul, being that small?
fucking lockmart.
is a blackhawk not good enough for you?

>>29754600
That tube is going sideways, not backwards. Looks like extendable landing gear to me.

Signicificant payload when un manned (which is why they are thinking about this thing


The manufacurers have been playing around with this thing unmanned since 1998

Having something like this at your fob for ferrying ammo, Doing observation etc would have been good if we were still in places like Kandahar.

Lockheed does not make it, dumbass.

You are talking shit about a helicopter you know nothing about.

Kill yourself, shitposter

Id shoot at it even knowning it is one of ours

>>29754531
I think it has character.

Ugly things should be allowed to enter service, it's the boring things that should be discarded with.

>>29754746

i dont know where all the hate is coming from.

>>29754531

>>29754531

Almost thought ayys had discovered rotary-wing

>fucking idiots hating on K-Max

It's just one of the best, if not the best, heavy lift helicopters there is.

We would have to disband the Marine Corps.

>>29755136
5000 lbs is heavy lift?
why not just build unmanned gliders & unmanned tow planes

While you post a picture of a bigass flat runway which any glider could operate off of
while carrying many times the payload
