REPORTS IN THE INTERNET MAGAZINE
Do read our story on the bottom of this webpage, how things develop momentarily.
Leading picture in many ways might be this EADS North American AAS-72+ Armed Aerial Scout combat helicopter
A complete new design is this Sikorski S-97 Raider, a totally new to be developed concept
The 'Lakota' is already in use by the USAAF
though not yet made so very suitable for armoured (attack) tasks.
The AAS_X shows clearly that the deisgn is based on the EC-145
This AAS-72X meets all demands of high altitude and high temperatures of the US-Army.
This Kiowa is equipped with a nose-sensor
The Kiowa was pictured many times during our stay at kandahar in Afghanistan

The OH-58 is more or less 'at home' under desert circumstances. Any other new type should do also !
A last view on the AAS-72X+ , as contender. May the best one win !
Our special thanks to Sikorsky, Boeing, Bell and EADS !
