Welcome to our new content. As the Weapon Detective, we are investigating modern weapon systems of the Second Cold War. The Weapon Legends is about the older weapon systems. We tell their epic stories, which made them a legend. The Weapon Legends investigates these stories, reads between the lines, analyzes, and tells the untold. You can find technical information, historical backgrounds, what happened during the development processes, combat experience and political projection. Let the wisdom of history show us what the future will be. Let’s investigate the veteran weapons of the past together.

LAPD gave up on their dreams of a gunship and just started BiP'ing their shit in neighborhoods.

[@milesbrown8016]

Thanks for that.

[@dejanmaksic9770]

we in serbia have modernized the gazelle, we added some armor to protect the pilot, optoelectronics as well as new guided missiles, one such unit was recently shown at the arms fair in belgrade partner2023 greetings from Serbia🇷🇸

[@Highice007]

My favorite helicopter, featured in my favorite movie, "Blue Thunder."

[@AviViljoen]

"Gazelle": Such an appropriate name for this beautiful machine.

[@HeavenlyMandate]

Finally the gazelle video 🎉🎉🎉

[@MrAffrank]

Very very good. I worked for Aerospatiale in flight test. They make incredible helicopters.

[@kesterdonner8190]

I knew that beautiful piece of engineering from my childhood in the eighties and nineties when it was in service with the German police in lower-saxony 😢 - made me fall in love with helicopters 🤩🥰

[@rogeri2468]

0:33 range safety at BATUS in Canada. I have undoubtedly worked on that helicopter. We used to call it the 'floppy'.

[@robertryan2542]

I loved their sleek look. We had them here in Ireland ☘️

[@mohammedsaysrashid3587]

It was an informative and clearly explained all characteristics of French Gezzal helicopter and its several versions for multiple duties...also video clearly explained creations of historical backgrounds of this most successfully designed helicopter around the world Thank you (weapon detective) channel for sharing this magnificent video

[@kengreen6505]

Another highly informative and enjoyable video😊

[@n1k2-ja46]

From a Japanese point of view, it's a little bit of a helicopter, but I personally like it very much. It's a model with technical breakthroughs, simple yet high performance, and I think it's ideal as a weapon. 日本人から見るとちょ－マイナ－なヘリコプタ－ですが、個人的には非常に好きな機種です。技術的なブレ－クスル－がある機種ですしシンプルなうえ高性能、兵器として理想的だと思います。

[@igorpniak8308]

Kids are in awe of MH-6 Littlebird, true man love Gazelle

[@The_ZeroLine]

They’re both super cool.

[@habahan4257]

Excellent video. Thanks

[@wiktorberski9272]

Nice movie.

[@yarmud]

Another piece of equipment make you regret not being a pilot

[@paleoph6168]

Richard Hammond piloted one in Top Gear.

[@danicao.6778]

Serbia there are 20 more Gazelle helicopters armed with 4 Malyutka rockets and 2 Strela-2 manpads each!!! Very fast aircrafts and it's fun to watch them destroy the target with Malyutkas!!! Useful tank killers we just have to modernize them!!!

[@vdmlabud5629]

It is me (5:58 to 6:02) in Bosnian Gazelle 😊

[@well-blazeredman6187]

Good video. If going to war in a Gazelle, I think I would opt for a sideways-firing machine-gun rather than lightly annoying someone with an ahead-firing 20mm. P.S. And I can still remember hearing about Teeny Weeny Airways in San Carlos Water.

[@RamadiTaxiDriver60M]

I flew this helicopter back in the 80s for the LAPD on a project called: THOR. Tactical Helicopter Offensive Response. Our callsign was: “Special 1” I found out what the GOVT was up to and made sure I foiled their plans. Your welcome, Frank Murphy.

[@grasuh]

Blue Thunder!

[@descentmvm]

yesss !! love your videos can you do the kiowa warrior next?

[@FrancisGuite]

The Indian army and Air force still used it and not replacing it yet as Indian luh which is the replacement for cheetah chetak is still in production stage...... Indian uses one is called cheetah and Chetak but largely is same as they're the same company but this gazelle is better than cheetah as it more modernised and also more advance in short .... Still it's Avery good helps comparing to its prices but I had no place deas about the safety as Indian armed forces used ones are prone to accidents being made and inducted during from the 60's

[@kodiak64]

They were so vulnerable to small arms fire in the Falklands War that some voices in the British army lobbied for their removal from service. This was in stark contrast to the old Westland Scout, which by all accounts was "built like a brick outhouse".

[@well-blazeredman6187]

I suspect that they were equally fragile, in which case I'd rather fly in the faster one.

[@antr7493]

All about that tailpipe

[@Kenny-yl9pc]

Man isn't it now slowly time for an upgrade of your mic in order to improve the audio quality? Its really tough to listen to your content. Im pretty sure that most of your audience feels that way. And it will for sure help to increase your viewership.

[@WeaponDetective]

Thanks for your interest. We already improved our audio quality. This was an old video with new footage so the audio remained a little bit low quality. Sorry for that.

[@lawrencemartin1113]

😊👍🏻👍🏻❤️

[@christianlebordelais]

[@patriotenfield3276]
