Why aren't helicopters equipped with anti-missile countermeasures?
>>33799986
Many are.
>>33799986
You're never going to see a manpad coming so you won't know when to fire your flares.
>>33799986
>slavshit chopper built in 1961 and sold to *insert middle eastern country here* in 1978 doesn't have countermeasures
hmmmmm
>>33800031
That doesn't mean you can't install some.

Infrared countermeasures were first used in the Vietnam War, if the Arabs wanted them they could get them
>>33800046
How the fuck can you tell it's a cobra from that shitty video?
Is there any warning or detection system for infrared guided missiles?
>>33800025
Who says "you" have to see it.
The Mk1 eyeball isn't the be all and end all of combat sensors.
>>33800060
It is a fucking cobra. A turkish one in fact.
>>33800060
Thin face+cobra profile+video says it was cobra+turkey have cobras but doesn't have slavshit
>>33800000
But they cant stop big boolits.
>>33799986
but.....they are?
>>33800098
Didn't the report say it was a Z-10?
>>33800071
The missile approach warning system exists. But it relies on the sensor picking up the missile launch.
>>33800101
Strangely enough tracking incoming from its source by sound is old hat.
Return fire would obviously require a miss.
>>33800025
You don't need to see it when the MLWS will
>>33800109
No it was turkish cobra
>>33800112
Yes, but I am referring to anti aircraft cannons with air burst rounds or something along those lines. 20mm 30mm cannons, BIG BOOLITS.
Something like this?

because the profile of a cobra is almost as recognizable as an apache and get out ree if you don't recognize it.
>>33800031
>AH1 Cobra
>Slavshit
Bravo!
>>33800025
That's wrong. Some planes have systems that can optically detected missile launch on the ground, and use countermeasures automatically.
I'd be less effective on helicopter, but still.

Sam 7's obtained by the IRA from Gaddafi were tried once against a military copter but by that stage counter measures were installed and it whistled past harmlessly, they didn't use them again.
>>33800000
Checked

Ow waddup a slav
>>33800060
Die in a nigger-jew cock
Why don't we equip our helis with Trophy?
There wouldn't even be any infantry collateral to worry about.
Some are, some are extra+extra protected.
