>Pilots have Helmet Mounted Display
>Pilots have 2nd most armored cockpit aside from Chinese WZ-10 Super Apache
And they still use Duct Tape for their Helicopter Guns.
Now you'll say I should not say they should just buy Chinese. But you have to be sensible, even by Chinese standards, Duct Tape is not for military equipment. Has the Soviet brains truly moved to America and Russia has no intellectual capacity left after the collapse?
They really should've just bought Chinese.

Was it not developed for military supply boxes?

>During World War II, Revolite (then a division of Johnson & Johnson) developed an adhesive tape made from a rubber-based adhesive applied to a durable duck cloth backing. This tape resisted water and was used as sealing tape on some ammunition cases during that period.
So it was. I apologize.
But would you really use it on a 30mm autocannon?
>>31657094
To hold a cord in place?
Why the fuck not? What other kind of tape are you going to fucking use?
It is a wind and angle sensor mounted on the gun, you retard
Americanski would waste millions trying to replace that cord.
>>31657122
The tape is holding the cord in place, you retard, not the sensor itself
Get a pair of fucking eyes
>>31657113
Personally I'd use zip ties, but yeah, it's clearly a temporary installation for flight testing.
>>31657062
have you ever been near an actual combat (not show room) apache? There's shit on the cannon held with fucking zip locks for added "we don't want this to fall" protection.

Local Chicom so dumb he doesn't even know what he's arguing.
Also, China paidd Kamov to design the airframe of the Z-10.

Shit people fly on daily have rivets held in place by paint and screws that have as much thread as you have brains
>>31657062
obviously not the duct tape keep the cord in place but if not the tape it would akwardly just hanging there
>>31657125
No, we use EB green.

Compare and contrast with how it would be in USA:
>Hire 3rd party contractor to undertake research and development into optimum helicopter gun tape formulation
>they write a 12 page report and craft a design brief with recommendations for final fixation system
>This report is then sent out to another 3rd party who undertakes preliminary design phase
>behind schedule and over-budget, the DoD decides to switch to a different 3rd party
> Copyright issues prevent the 3nd 3rd party from using the 2nd 3rd party's intellectual property without licencing rights
>Lawyers from the 3nd 3rd party must convince lawyers of the 2st 3rd party to settle on a $3 million deal
>Initial tests show the tape does not retain its adhesiveness at high altitude and humidity
>15 months behind schedule and $15 million over budget
>After emergency cash injection, the 3rd 3rd party is able to produce a working prototype
>Abandoned in favor of duct tape
such is life in the US MIC

EB Green is just green duck tape though.

But anon, the z-10 is garbo.

What kind of vests and gear are they wearing?
>>31657094
>But would you really use it on a 30mm autocannon?
Fuck yeah why wouldn't I, they used to use it in Vietnam, and probably still use it, to wrap helicopter rotor blades that had taken bullet holes to keep them flying. The military doesn't call it 100mph tape for nothing.
Thats duct tape used to hold a cord in place. The cord is there for testing equipment that is placed on the gun for, believe it or not, testing. What the fuck are you even discussing?

STSh-81 'Sfera' helmet.
ANA V-95 vests in Kamysh and TTsKO patterns.
VSR-93 and TTsKO winter uniforms in M88 'Afghanka' cut.
Unknown armour under vest, possibly Kora Kulon considering the period.
Guy with the AKMS has a Soviet medical bandana 'Kosynka' under his helmet and what appears to be a kitchen knife.

Dude. It's name is not Super Apache, but Fierce Thunderbolt - Which is much better, i guess?

Let's see here. You're in Russia, and you're kinda smart.
The place is completely impregnated with anti-intellectualism, and anyone showing any personal initiative is at best seen as a complete alien.
There's also no place to work outside of the arms industry, and that one will collapse every twenty years or so.
Getting out makes sense.
