Wait a freakin second I watch this documentary back in 2005! You guys refined the narration for this show!
WAIT A MOMENT NARRATOR IS SAYING FULLY DIGITAL IN 2009?.WHEN WE ARE IN 2021?.OR THEIR CALENDAR IS OF B.C ERA?.THIS IS FAKE REFINED DOCUMENTARY .
He who lives as a victim dies as a sheep.
@@lanet3947 There are a lot of old documentaries on you-tube and this is one of them
I laughed so hard when the comanche bit came up "scheduled to be operational in 2009" Hahaha
I can hardly wait! 😏
F
This is the ultimate machine of the future, will be operational in 1950...
I crewed 58s in the late 80s. Thought about reenlisting to transition to the Comanche.
Any aircraft is formidable, it's the skills of the pilots that makes them the fighters they're built for.
Pretty much any weapon only as good as its operator...
Yeah but helicopters are still better than planes.
@@lawrencemorris2261 depends on the application. An ac130 gliding at a greater altitude will straight fuck a blackhawk.
Impossible to compare one to another.. Totally different application requirements. It's like comparing a supercar to a diesel flatbed..
是吗
that sandstorm edit is on point
During WW2 the Germans came up with the first helicopter but it was 2 Polish-American engineers, Piasecki and Sikorsky, competing with each other, who came up with designs that became the big break-throughs in helicopters, Piasecki became part of Boeing
The age 64 Apache is my all-time favorite helicopter. I spent pretty close to 5 years building
Ka 52 vs AH64?
@@kahunakorteze2763 No chance. Ka-52 launch unguided rockets into the sky of Ukraine. An outdated helicopter with backward electronics. AN-64 is an invincible king.
Spent almost five years for initial build of AH-64. Came back for a year on "D". Now build rockets.
6:50 this dude has 1200 XP racked up on his apache, about to level it up. nice
"...Comanche is scheduled to be in service in 2009"... oh, I got some bad news for you from the future lol... :(

Excelent information of the helicopters that each army use for their missions
Imagine choppers hovering over a battlefield in WWII, laying down a base of fire, obliterating enemy positions, and ferrying reinforcements to breakthroughs and shipping out wounded, etc. This machine is a warfare game changer
Yet i find it ironic that every major war chopers have been deployed by a major power, in large numbers (so far there are only two, Vietnam and Afghanistan) neither side managed to achieve a victory, even though their enemy had none themselves. In theory they ought to be a complete game changer, but in fact they haven't been. All they've achieved is an increase in enemy casualties (increased loiter time vs aircraft) and a decrease in friendly KIA's (due to faster evacuation of wounded)
@@robertmaybeth3434 they're still not numerous enough, not cheap enough to deploy, not easy enough to pilot, still too vulnerable to ground fire, too mechanically complex, too slow and not stealthy enough. Solve those issues and you'll have something like the HK's from Terminator and that would be a game-changer.
That is a shit of a huge bullshit ,, nevertheless America has never ever won a war on this earth , However may we believe this ???? So does mean we are good in the sky but fucking mediocre on the earth ,,, shit in Afghanistan ,,, Irak ,, Vietnam ,, we did not win those fucking wars ,, then the first enemy of a weapon is its own constructor periodddddddddddddddddd
The helicopter allowed military forces to fight and supply forces much smaller than the opposing force to annihilate much larger forces. It was a gamechanger. Ex air cav. Door gunner and crew chief. Death from above.
@@robertmaybeth3434 What are you talking about the US Army obliterated Al-Qaeda Defeated the taliban Demolish ISIS Defeated the Iraqi force twice I'm the only reason why the taliban was able To survive It's because they've retreated into Pakistan which provided them with safe haven Obama started decreasing the number The number of our military forces In Afghanistan Then trump started decreasing The military forces in Afghanistan and then Biden ultimately withdrawal our president's politicians Are ultimately to blame what happened down there Not the military Do your research before you say something stupid
Looks like a documentary from 2005 ish
It is,
Comanche was cancelled in 2004, so even earlier than that
It's from 2002.
I still love to watch it though
@@AviationNut I was a PFC in the Army then. I thought I recognized "my army" :)
It was mentioned that one had to be careful of hitting things while flying at tree level. Not always...In a video of a Huey pilot in Vietnam, there was an occasion where in order to retrieve soldiers trapped in an ambush, he CUT a landing path multiple times by lowering his Huey into a bamboo field, shredding the bamboo. By the end of the rescue, the blades were toast. But he rescued a LOT of troops.
Yea it was on that trail those dudes where amazing
Yeah ppl are just used to movies...seriously crazy how people have movies dictate their idea on how a lot of these things work.

Ah, so you are also here doing some Apache prep youtubing :P
I Like..👍
Flying a chopper must be the ultimate flying experience. Being able to hover, fly off. Amazing machinery.
My F22 Raptor would bash your chopper stealth-ninja-styley... Beyond epic proportions
First saw the real thing in 1989 at the Putlos Anti tank ranges on the Baltic coast in Germany. Big old American Warrant officer (with the inevitable Walrus moustache) flew it in for us to see. I was absolutely amazed. It was what it looked. A fighting machine like no other. Frightening to look at.
But unless they changed the regulations - walrus mustache is not allowed, are you sure you didn't have an imposter in your midst?

Good post, Spark. Always educational, and even uplifting, which we need more and more these days with increasing illiterates at the controls.
And as the end users become stupefied by consumerism
i can't handle the presenter, he maintains maximum excitement the whole time its exhausting
Those US pilots being interviewed are still wearing the woodlands camouflage. This must have been shot more than 15 years ago.
The LYNX was retired from the British Navy in 2018
exactly. the Comanche was never fielded
The Apache is engineering poetry in motion 👌
It could take out A10 thunderbolt or F35 with ease. Long live the helicopter.
@@lawrencemorris2261 sure......I don't think they even put Stinger mounts on them anymore.
Probably the most interesting thing I have seen for a long time, excellent production and well done Tiff as narrator. I was a bit foolish at one point thinking maybe I could improve on some of these designs, then the Merlin and then the Comanche, someone did it already ! Then I realised how old this production is, how much have things moved on since ? It is time for an update and I for one wish to see it. Design, the battle ship grey and camouflage exteriors are long lived and tested, the interior however is bland , I have an idea that the interior should be much more distinctive and user friendly, use of colour to make areas more instantly recognisable and faster to get to, plus a more comfortable and pleasant place to work generally, I get it that these operators are highly trained and can most likely find controls with a blind fold on, however some ergonomics maybe an enhancement for sure. Your thoughts on this will be taken into consideration and appreciated.
That is one beautiful machine!!
I live in West Palm and I still see the Comanche flying every once in awhile by Pratt & Whitney. It's a gorgeous helicopter and I also am able to see other test projects that are flown.
yeh what an impressive machine!
I wonder if there is any video showing comanches actually flying over in Us states
LOL no you haven't. There were only TWO prototypes ever built, and they've both been sitting the Army Aviation Museum at Fort Rucker in Alabama since 2010. You just left this comment a year ago.
Great vid. How bout I just saw Mr Lausin who was a pilot I served with back in the mid 90s. Great guy, WO and pilot. It was awesome to see ya even if only on KZhead. Aviation pride, Flying Tigers
boy, I'm glad you're showing our enemies all about what we have. I feel even safer today!
Fun fact after coming out with a new helos they have natives bless the helos an like said they r named after each tribe or the person that's the head of the tribe.
Well I hope they have a list of names because we're gonna need some new ones. Considering Brandon left a shit ton of Blackhawks and Apache's at Bagram now China Russia and Iran are all reverse engineering them

I flew in a Blackhawk doing "dirt sweeps" once. Pilot was a beautiful blonde CPT. Met her during flight brief before takeoff. That gal could fly! Talk about 'map of the earth', that pilot was awesome. We had great views of all ground area on the mountains we were skimming around! And the whole ride was like a cruise in a Cadillac. Smooth, not bumpy, and with the pilots grace in flight skills, fluid and non-distracting so we could focus on spotting ground troops et al. Loved that mission!
*TECHNOLOGY IS KING AND THESE NEW HELICOPTERS HAVE IT ALL MAKING THE DIFFERENCE IN WHATEVER MISSION THEY FLY IN...SIMPLY AMAZING!!*
Beautiful helicopters, I want them to remain operational for many more decades and never need to be unnecessarily replaced by the SB-1 and V-280
I was at Ft. Rucker in 1975 when Sikorsky and BOEING were having the run-off to figure out who was going to produce what was then called a UTTAS. As we all now know (have for YEARS, I guess), Sikorsky won and produced the UH-60 Blackhawk which I flew in the early-mid 80's (and it was a HOOT!). It amazes me to still be seeing Blackhawks in service 45 or 66 years and many improvements & mods later. But then the HUEY was in service for DECADES too, so I guess I shouldn't be all THAT surprised!
@@donjohnson8627 cool, very cool, but, only grandma's use words like HOOT...okay ?...

I highly doubt there will be a heli that could replace the Apache any time soon, thankfully.
Ye
I'm a dual ATP (rotary wing AND airplanes), and I will have to say that having flown both helicopters (of multiple types during a decades long Army career) AND later several types of jets all over creation, across oceans during Day, Night, IMC, VMC and etc, during another career, I will have to agree with the guy that says helos at treetop level is more fun than most fixed wing flying---especially the Blackhawk which is BOTH fast when needed and has PLENTY of power.
And helicopters are better than planes right?

Beautiful beast of the sky.Amazing helicopter 👏
Documentary: "Comanche is clearly a skip-a-generation technology." Army: "We are skipping it." Sikorsky-Boeing SB-1 Defiant: "Hold my compound rotor."
I worked at Sikorsky, WPB during the development of the Comanche...I saw the test flights of the S-76 'Shadow' (proof of concept) to the first flight of the RAH-66 and follow-on test flights until the 'Big layoff' of March 2002 when the S-76 program was sent to the Czech Republic...in or around 2004, the Comanche was cancelled...a few years later, one of my buds was the crew chief for the X-1 which has become the Raider...he kept me up to date with e-mails of pictures of the aircraft during its test flights...
Felt like I’m watching fifth gear. Presenter’s voice is uncanny
Exactly. Or old Top Gear. I never knew Tiff was into aviation stuff. Or maybe it was just a good paycheck,

Thats because all the pigeons were decapitated. That the last poopies.
The apache with the eye in the sky are used with Cavalry Scouts in the U.S. Army with great success. Scouts in the air and ground troopers are something you don't want to meet up with in combat. If you had to fire your weapon you failed your scout mission. It happens but best to do your job and call in the tank or air strike bring the rain.
As a former cav ground scout I can confirm this.

10:36 I think Darude is owed some royalties because that's definitely "Sandstorm" I'm hearing.
Comanche is like the F-22 of the helicopter world, I mean the thing is effin gorgeous and the weapon placement inside those bays are exactly like the F-22. God I cant believe this thing wasn't deployed, at least for special forces so you can order in relatively small numbers. But I also understand that economy of scale doesn't work that way and you'll end up paying 2x or 3x as more than if you ordered hundreds :(

I've never seen a comment section so full of comedians; and most of them actually good ones of a sort
Apache are Fierce Warriors during the early times of the "Not So United Anymore" States... because WHITE Man came and did their best to Slaughter the Tribal Nations... and it is STILL going on Today. Montana, Idaho, N. and S. Dakota, Washington State... Tribal girls and Women are disappearing every day... some bodies have been found, but Not All. Just a few months ago, Bill Gates bought 234,000 Acres of STOLEN Tribal Land from the Dept. of the Interior and BLM (Bureau of Land Management)... STOLEN Tribal Land in E. Washington State... he paid near $171M for it, and he will NOT comment on the transaction. Funny, he brags about everything else...

"makes war look like one huge video game" - until the SSM or SAM penetrates your platform and blows bits of your body off.
Tbh I'd be more concerned about an auto cannon. SSM's and SAM's deliver warnings when fired at you, you have a chance to evade and use countermeasures. An auto cannon tho, the first you know about it is often as not the holes its blown through your aircraft.

Already or about time? Those aircraft are anything but new. It wouldn't suprise me to learn that some of the pilots are younger than the helos they fly. Automobiles of similar age and continuous use often have not-so-complimentary nicknames.
@@paulrevere2379 there are few videos about it, to be honest i can't remember the name of the new thing, the apache suffers same issues as the abrams, it became a very heavy plataform and the cost of keep it in shape and the updates start to cost way more than a new heli.

Hearing Tiff Needell narrating a helicopter documentary is a bit surreal.
Great show
Obviously they did not know the OV-10 Bronco. Faster than a helicopter to deliver supplies and deliver firepower with 3 tons of ammunition . All of that for a fraction of the cost of a war plane. It was designed by marines, not by a commitee.
The North American Rockwell OV-10 was a great aircraft indeed, excelling in its multi-role capacity including observation, close air support, and light attack from Vietnam to ODS. That being said, the OV-10 was a turboprop airplane, whereas this video is about helicopters. The OV-10 was originally developed by the USMC as part of their Light Armed Reconnaissance Program by a group of people appointed for the specific function of creating such a vehicle, the very definition of a committee. The USAF and Navy (yes, the Marines are part of the Navy yet distinct enough to deserve recognition as a separate branch) quickly became involved in the development of further OV-10 variations all of which were subject as part of the yearly defense budget to review by Congress and yes, all of this meant more committees. You seem to be making an argument to pride in the USMC's no-nonsense modus operandi and against bureaucracies in general, and your intended point is well-taken. But it's worth noting that a committee is simply people classed together and designated for a specific purpose, a meaning which has other labels like, for example, "team", (research team), "group" (development group) and so on, and therefore is not necessarily an automatic negative as that associated with other types of committees. Point being, it's not like the OV-10 was conceptualized, developed, constructed, tested and funded for mass production in a vacuum by a small group of personnel answering to no one. Rather, the process included several committees of various types working together to fully implement this outstanding aircraft. In any case, the often-overlooked OV-10 was a fine aircraft with a long service record both in the US armed forces and elsewhere. Outside the USA, the OV-10 saw its longest service in Columbia and according to some reports was also used successfully by independent operators as a smuggling vehicle. In conclusion, the Rockwell OV-10 in its various configurations was an outstanding (and relatively cheap) multi-role airplane with a rock-solid service record that continued to be successfully utilized, especially by the Marines, well after the development of the A-10 Warthog, a testament to its value and efficacy. Again, the OV-10 seems, at least to me, to be one of several military aircraft which is frequently overlooked in contemporary articles and videos documenting airplanes which served successfully, sustainably and for such an extended period as to deserve at least some representation and pop-culture adoration like that afforded more iconic military aircraft. So, I'm pleased that you mentioned the OV-10 Bronco, despite it being an airplane and therefore not included as part of this video mini-documentary.
Great useful aircraft..unfortunately they must be easy to shoot down with various missiles.I feel these will be quickly replaced with drones or small hand held system like the stinger that can take out tanks and cost a lot less money and lest risk to crew.Helicopter’s are great for moving troops and rescue missions.Good for sea attacks on ships.
Did you even watch? This is a stealth like aircraft. You can’t hit what you can’t fully see. It has defensive capabilities to thwart missile attacks.
@@martylucas8557 The Ah64 has 0 stealth capabilities. Even if it did, stealth doesn’t mean what you probably think. It’s like calling soft armor or even a plate carrier a “bulletproof vest”. There’s no such thing.
Vet who's seen it here. There are different kinds of stealth. The F-35 for instance, uses radar reflective angles and paint so radar can't see them until it's too late, and even if they do see them, they can't get a lock on them to shoot them. The AH-64 uses standoff distance (thus the Longbow name) and terrain masking techniques for stealth. They're not easy to shoot down because of tactics. For instance, the opening shots of Desert Storm were carried out by Apaches. They went deep into enemy territory undetected because they were flying low and putting hills and trees between them and the enemy.... then they destroyed Iraqi command and control and radar facilities. This allowed jets to join in the fun unimpeded and put some whoopass on aircraft sitting on the ground, parked vehicles like tanks, infrastructure like communications hubs, and troops... before they could even get into the fight. When an Apache can see over the trees with radar and advanced optics without exposing itself, and fire a hellfire missile from 10mi away, you're not going to have much of a chance to shoot it down. Concerning drones, there's a lot of stuff in movies that doesn't translate to the real world battlefield. For instance, fully autonomous combat drones are many years from reality. Remotely piloted vehicles are used for limited purposes, because all you really need to do to kill all of them at once is disrupt communications ... and that's not as difficult to do as one might think. What **is** a reality, is man-in-the-middle autonomy. For instance, an Apache Gunner will take over drone control near the objective and leverage it's sensors and weapons to clear that objective enough to fly in safely and really start the pounding. These machines are more complex and capable than most people realize, and the people who fly them are so well trained and competent that they're far more dangerous than the equipment itself... not that you'd be able to tell from Hollywood films that intentionally make us look incompetent... which I'll never understand.
The hatrid w/these Chinook guy's!
Very fresh.
Clearly dated (Commanche was cancelled in 2004) but nonetheless entertaining and informative. Interesting to see how convinced they were of the Commanche being revolutionary and the helicopter of all helicopters, but in 2021 most people won't know what you're talking about if you mention the Commanche helicopter. That said I am convinced that many of the advanced technologies and concepts that found their way into modern military helicopters come from the Commanche program.
The Comanche is in service but the army uses it overseas
I checked the credits and it says 2003! That means this documentary is almost two decades old!
So, it's older than you, kid.
@@larrysmith6797 LOL. Thanks for the compliment; I'm 35.
