Nah, yeh it made them higher but that didn't change much. Ukraine has shown that the Stinger isn't as good as other AA systems, it was a meme all along.

The fact that it is still shooting down Russian helicopters is a testament to the solid fundamental design of the Stinger, rudimentary as it may be by now. It's also a testament to how Russia has never been good at warfare.

Show a single instance of a Stinger killing a helicopter or anything on video. There are hundreds of Igla/Strela kills on video but not a single Stinger kill.

Actually there are hundreds of stinger videos and none of igla, strela, piorun, and especially not starstrrak. Stinger is the only successful MANPADS.

There’s only 2 visually confirmed IGLA kills, 0 piorun, 0 stinger, and 0 starstreak. Ukraine reports using stingers to down aircraft and everyone believes them.
Post 5 videos showing IGLA firing, and killing a target. Just 5 out of hundreds on video shouldn’t be hard right?
Jeez they are really riled up today!
Here is an IGLA for your troubles

>In fact, only the French Tigers are better than the Mangusta
France's initial Tigre HAP was shit too
Spain (Tigre HAD) and Australia (Tiger ARH) had the best Tigers at delivery. Spain's was the best because it was armored.
France changed their plans for having Tigre HAP and HAC in order to get Tigre of the same HAD spec as Spain
Engagement times for MANPADs are very short from realizing there is a target to getting your shot off is generally measured in seconds. I don't expect many people under these conditions to think "I should get my phone out and film this".
This isn't defending the IGLA but explaining why MANPAD shots are rarely filmed in general with the excepting of the Taliban / ISIS firing from the end of runways and know a plane will be there.
Here is a list of all the different conflicts that the stinger was used to destroy an aerial target. I left out Ukraine until the wars end and we can get feedback from the UKranian MOD >falklands

Don't worry, he gave his least corrupt subordinate 2 billion dollars in rubles and had him order 100 of them.
ATGM gyrocopter is a neat concept, but it's downright sadistic when you can make a drone that will do it's job better.
They are cheap enough to have on hand for a jam heavy environment. Fill out your will first though.
>sadistic
Agreed, imagine exposing even enemy tank crews to the kind of unhinged pilots that would end up in those gyros.

When was the last time Europeans designed an aircraft that actually looks beautiful?
did the fact that this is a Chinese attack helo just flew over your head?
Yes. But the question stands.
the tiger looks like a 'tism version of the WZ-10.
lol.
Aren't you forgetting something, Europe's other Attack Helicopter.
My favorite doubledecker.
Shame that no one else bought them, because they fell for Euromeme, or outright went with Apache.
Okay, there is the roach version, but that's more of derivate than mere license built.
Mangusta? is shit

Pakistan wanted these but got cucked by America (again) so is getting these
.
They're pretty good, obviously not Apache tier but better better than anything in the sub-continent.
Aside from America, they are THE most decorated users of the F-16. When it comes to actually using their equipment, they're the best.
I love the Z10 so much
Pakistan is getting a top notch attack helo.
They about to make the Dhruv go extinct, assuming the ALH doesn't crash itself out of Indian service.
They are muzzies, of course they will frick it up. Such a shame because of how streamlined it is
I was referring to the Indian Dhruv accident rates where something like 12-16% of airframes have crashed.
