This community is dedicated to everything related to military. News, questions, and discussion.

RULES

1. Keep it civil. Self explanatory.

2. Refrain from inflammatory behavior. Criticism of the military is allowed here, but critique comments should be tied to the topic at hand. Vague low effort comments are not productive.

3. Memes on Mondays only. Everyone loves memes, but to keep them from overrunning other content, they are limited to Meme Mondays.

4. Posts must be coherent, and on topic to actual military discussion.

5. Posted articles should be titled in a way that does not materially alter the original title. Fixing a grammar or spelling mistake is acceptable, but omitting part of an article's title or naming the post differently in a way that diverges from the title is not allowed.

**6. Both self-posts and news articles are allowed. Posts that are Wikipedia links are not allowed. Image posts are generally not allowed unless they are original content. For military images, !militaryporn@lemmy.world is a more suitable community.

Helicopters are obsolete now because of drones haven't you heard?

It is worth noting that the Lakota is the trainer helicopter for Apache pilots.

We‘ll se about the obsolescence if/when Ukraine gets the Australian Tigers.

Anyhow. I never understood Germanys purchase decision. Maybe they’ll consider or evaluate the Leonardo AW249 someday.

I don't know if the Tigers are even worth taking unfortunately given the amount of substantial issues the helicopter has.

I had the same impression, especially since they are grounded like more than 50% of the time. But if anyone can make a use of them it is the Ukraine.

Just a reminder it’s just “Ukraine” not “the Ukraine”. The latter is how soviets referred to it and is a subtle denial of Ukraine’s sovereign borders.

Just a subtle reminder that we aren’t native speakers and still translating from our mother tounge. In my native language it would be normal to use article without any implications.
