US New ATTACK Helicopter Will CHANGE Battlefield Forever!

[@nationalsniper5413]

If the RAH-66 Comanche was not cancelled there would have been a new stealth attack helicopter many years ago. The Apache is a great weapons platform but is aging.

[@bks252]

The Apache has been continuously upgraded. The E model was designed to be able to integrate new technologies.

[@juniorleslie4804]

Then create an unmanned attack reconnaissance helicopter scout.

[@apolitis1]

FARA program was cancelled I think. They figured out that drones are a cheaper solution both for recce and attack without putting lives on the line. Helicopters imo in the future are only going to serve as troop transport/medic

[@tray3120]

That’s what I saw and was because of what they are learning in Ukraine war

[@evgenyfisher1009]

IDF also thought so, and they found out the hard way on 7th october they were wrong.

[@BonsaiActual]

110% correct. MONTHS AGO

[@VectorGhost]

no theyre stupid because theytre putting more stress and strain on the already hold AH-64

[@bernardgoldberg7647]

The cancellation of f a r a is just another example of the United States being continually asleep at the wheel and continually get in its ass kicked right off in the beginning of any engagement.

[@davidrose3737]

That helicopter looks Boss

[@glennangelo3372]

Keep making them!!

[@oldtabrough1026]

I must say, US can really come up with very nice design. Impressive

[@sheenapearse766]

A thing of beauty!

[@rvail136]

The helicopter you're featuring has been canceled.

[@CarlAyers-x8h]

Duh.. You were told that in the video.

[@RobinBova]

Has it ,you got to ask yourself would they tell you the TRUTH

[@ScottS-56]

Mr. Robot is just trying to get likes.....

[@jamesbrown3882]

A very sleek body and all around cool looking helicopter.

[@chandrachurniyogi8394]

the stub wings on the Invictus could do with some active moving surfaces, such as trailing edge flaps for additional lift & a single underwing hard point (optional) . . .

[@bks252]

Flaps have no effect on helicopters. The wings are not for lift, the rotor system is.

[@irn-ed564]

@@bks252 Any Lift is Lift. Maybe not so much at low forward speed but at higher speed, it could improve range, fuel consumption, efficiency, etc.

[@krisdacripe9833]

Go for it !

[@xjohn01]

The Comanche it's looks more invent than any other designed Helicopter ever.

[@ASMRRALPH]

I think that the Pentagon has made a huge mistake by canceling the FARA program because the 360 Invictus bell helicopter is one radical attack helicopter.

[@garthmasa4459]

Attack helicopters will be obsolete in the near future, the future is unmanned attack drones.

[@albertwooters7228]

That thing is cool looking love it

[@ACF6180T]

To bad it's not going to happen, I was a big fan of the RAH- 66 Comanche. It seems like every time they get close to a prototype it's already obsolete. Just like this one it has already been cancelled.

[@allgood6760]

Cool chopper 👍

[@albertwooters7228]

Bad ass sweet ride

[@KRAGHVON8169]

STILL gonna need people to defend and fight ...and gonna need the BEST equipment to do the job

[@YolandaMazzara-tl4ix]

Also on the side you should cover up the pilots better and get cameras if they want to look out the side put more armor there unless window

Tilt rotor is probably the best option. Blend of copter and aircraft.

[@426superbee4]

I like it > going to buy one today

[@terminalfive3649]

It can be a drone carrier.

[@LionelBellec-yb7wr]

Ya, sure. And the F35 is a gem, too...

[@johnfoley4705]

They made a movie about this attack platform in 1984 with the pilot in the back and the gunner in the front, The movie was called The Last Starfighter, most favorite movie

[@barnstormandy]

buy them both

[@Sean-u8e]

In modern warship app game Sim it's very good for it's class thumbs up and if military agents really needed it with out cost reverse engineering is a improvised alternative

[@rockytorres958]

This chopper should be able destroy also ships, subs, flying missiles, nuke silos & bunkers. It is also a great back up for the mechanized infantry 24/7.

[@YolandaMazzara-tl4ix]

What would be really cool if you turn a helicopter with the Gatling gun of the a-10 warthog😮

[@dereklucero5785]

Dude, when I was in HS I dreamed of flying the Apache replacement, the Light Helicopter Experimental (Lhx) Comanche. This looks just like that one. There was even a cpu game out. 4 bladed, internal storage bays for stealth…. Oh, then I watched the video…my bad.

[@saayiinaadhareddysrvelagal9752]

20 years back... there is a war game "Comanche"....in that game the main role is this chopper..

[@frankcessna7345]

Aha, the Program was cancelled in February 2024…..! The DoD spent $19.6 billion from 2006 to 2024. Didn’t even get a working prototype. FINALLY, the DoD recognized a UAV can do all the jobs expected of a Reconnaissance helicopter….

[@Justone372]

Wow, $19 billion!!!

[@frankcessna7345]

@@Justone372 Yes, adjusted for inflation. The Army tested a prototype advanced version of the Bell 206, then Boeing developed the Comanche. Then developed the Bell 360 Invictus and Raider X. They all failed….. finally, the US Army has been confronted with the reality of the war in Ukraine and reconnaissance drones and cancelled a maned reconnaissance helicopter. Your tax dollars at work - PS, I’m a ex-Cobra and Apache pilot and worked the on Boeing RH-66 program.

[@adriancastillo7657]

Good call on the DoD.

[@tonynelligan1930]

in the 1980's it was figured the pentagon spent 20,000+ dollars for a toilet. in canada the armed forces waste their funding because if not spent it's automatically taken from them next year since they clearly didn't need it.

[@johnwhodat8135]

​@@Justone372..just a chump change 😂

[@SoldierJ613]

I still think it needs the enclosed tale rotor. Most helicoptors have accidents due to the tale rotor. I feel with it being inclosed that would support it's mission purposes complimenting this awesome design.

[@automandan]

Personally, I think that the RAH 66 Commache would have been a better choice.

[@Neur0nauT]

I still think the RAH66 looked sleeker, but alas.... was a money-sink in its development. It is good to see that the lessons taken from that design have endured... but can you imagine instead of horizonal rotary lift....Bell develop a Tiltrotor encased Hybrid-Electric Turbofan system? much like the fictional Orca Aircraft from the Command & Conquer franchise? It seems more and more viable with the progression of Bell Boeing designs. I think they are going to be around for a long while and pushing the envelope of future aircraft, and potentially space craft in the not-too-distant future.

[@user-ue5kr7xf7z]

Nice

[@gogrape9716]

Drones are a superior choice on so many levels. Copters like this are like battleships in WW2.. obsolete..

[@philliphaasbroek]

It eerily familiar. Looks based on the South Africa Rooifalk attack helicopter created in the 80's.

[@rdelrosso1973]

A very impressive Copter! But unlike an Apache Helicopter, I do not see any Hellfire Missiles, and so it may not do as well in combat.

[@grayhawk66]

Department of Defense should go ahead and build them. We will need them.

[@loothak]

yeah, they don’t want this to work because it will cost money .The MIC ,loves the B-52 ,They want old stuff ,paid for already,but they want to charge the same amount to the military so yes, this works…like the Commanche.

[@winstonMcB]

I'm in Huntsville, AL I've seen the new Helicopter .

[@megamanx466]

I think they should refine it to be both stealthier, from radar and thermals, and be more modular such as being able to be outfitted with cargo or a personnel bay to escort troops at high speed. It would make the helicopter look like a much better deal to the Army/Marines/Navy.

[@nelsonbonifacio1895]

You must create a stealth missile system.

[@klaasvakie]

'Cancelled because it's ahead of its time?' No wonder the US is in trouble!

[@meltonkentjr1226]

That's a shame it was cancelled because I'd like to see a fly off of the Bell 360 INVICTUS and the AH-1 VIPER! 😊❤

[@YolandaMazzara-tl4ix]

I like the Invictus it's really nice but you really should do something about the gas mileage I think it should be able to fly more than $190 me maybe you should stick some internal external gas tanks on those little wings you got on it

[@paulstuart8676]

I would like to see an optional 30mm gun, or mini gun. A chain gun is good too, however they usually need the barrels inspected about every 3500 rounds. I think the missile system is ok however I don't know much about it, the targeting range needs to be about 10 miles minimum. The French Tiger is probably as good, it's a shame they aren't supported well.

[@cw2gator]

The simulator for the RAH-66 was awesome, as was its mission capabilities. Shame they ultimately cancelled it.

[@genobohez6374]

Amazing heli

[@andreww1225]

They should build some.

[@وليدعابدين-م3ح]

Very fort helicopter

[@Sean-u8e]

With today options the u.s. military has I would be 3d reverse engineering like everything

[@randallsummers2008]

Just my personal opinion on the attack helicopters. They need to be down sized to a single pilot operation. More power plant and weapons technology. They have a purpose as close ground support. They need to be used in conjunction with drones monitoring the battlefield and taking on the more dangerous elements of the battlefield to save the helicopters. That’s just me!

[@ahaduarefe-aine2141]

They need to bring the Comanche back man, idk why they cancelled it.

[@jamesjaudon8247]

A large drone style quad copter with two seats and weapons would be more stable and durable for attack purposes.

[@SoldierJ613]

I wish I was rich I would want one personally 😂

[@lordscythe100-kg3hx]

*CORRECTION !!! THE BELL OH-58 KIOWA WARRIOR WAS NOT DEVELOPED IN THE 60'S... THIS HELICOPTER WAS DEVELOPED BY CARDOEN INDUSTRIES FROM CHILE IN THE 80'S. THEY BASED THEIR HELICOPTER ON A "BELL 206 L-III" AND INVITED PERSONAL OF BELL TO WORK ALONG WITH THEM. THE HELICOPTER WAS SO GOOD THAT PASSED ALL TESTS AND BELL ASKED THE CHILEAN MAKER TO BRING THE HELICOPTER TO THE U.S. --- WHEN THE HELICOPTER WAS BROUGHT TO FLORIDA; BELL STOLE THE HELICOPTER AND SINCE THE U.S. HAD SOME BEEF WITH THE OWNER OF CARDOEN INDUSTRIES, THEY NEVER RETURNED IT, WHICH IT HAD NEW AND SOPHISTICATED TECHNOLOGIES... WHEN BELL HAD THE HELICOPTER, THEY REPRODUCED IT AS THERE OWN... THE NAME OF THE CHILEAN HELICOPTER WAS "GUERRERO" WHICH IN ENGLISH IS "WARRIOR"... BELL CALLED IT: "KIOWA WARRIOR".* *CHEERS*

[@peterbaker8443]

Bullshit they flew in vietnam

[@Airroll777]

It will need an EMP or scalar dampening fields to drop any incoming drones!

[@karlbuttler]

That would probably be awesome to fly.......k

[@CarlAyers-x8h]

Looks like an updated version of the cobra.

[@bomccall5148]

Wasn’t the double rotor faster than the Invictus, just asking?

[@keithprinn720]

survivability of this helo against defensive capabilities and cost of drones and ease of control at less cost a massive issue

[@richwalter3107]

Invictus looks to be the evolution of Cheyenne and Comanche. Which means it would have never gotten accepted and kept in perpetual R&D instead. Somebody in army aviation needs to stop clutching their pearls all the time and grow a spine and actually put it into service. We're wasting too much money playing these games.

[@adrianhall5881]

Kinda looks more like Blue Thunder. Just updated.

[@blakecrosby5123]

Thing about drones is,what happens when some one works out how to disrupt the signal that controls the drone or worse hacks in wirelessly and take control.

[@YolandaMazzara-tl4ix]

What I don't understand is is they don't develop a drone like helicopter because there are more maneuverable faster

[@YolandaMazzara-tl4ix]

I mean a large size drone that you can actually sit in and fly sometimes I think America likes to stay in the past until they have to move forward with stuff

[@johnpennington7107]

This country is afraid of change and should have built this.

[@tuanhofmann7303]

update from comanche

[@waynehendrix3952]

If they are going to select one of the 2 they selected for flying test models I like the Sikorsky model with a dual rotary system with a pusher motor that is faster and a better stabilized system, and it can be configured for all aspects of he battlefield from attack, rescue, transport, to whatever is needed

[@burnerjack01]

Ukraine has shown us the way already.

[@stephenanhalt9646]

[@kurtbaier6122]

Mini birds more practical, for quick troop deployment or pickup and to bring some fire power to bear. While A10s are better for tanks, APCs, vehicles, and stationary targets. Our Bradley’s are kicking serious butt over in Ukraine with 20 mm canons and tow missiles, and are very fast. That’s better money spent. Our Abrams tanks are in serious trouble in the age of drones. And drones of all sizes are a force multiplier by themselves or in combination with Himars, artillery, Bradleys or dismounted troops on the ground. The basics remain shoot-move- and communicate. Drones of all sizes are the future. I hope the Pentegon and darpa are watching what the FPV drones are doing to Cold War Russian military. Nothing on the ground is safe with drones, Crome the lone infantryman to millions of dollars of weaponry. Helicopter gunships and tanks can still be taken out by handheld weapons and are now going the way of the dinosaurs. Which makes the Marines decision to get rid of tanks a smart move.
