It's shit designed for manlets

It's as if western military doctrine is different than Soviet/Russian doctrine? Different helicopters for different roles.

It's as if you didn't even read the OP/link

Ain't nobody got time for that.

Yeah bro I think it looks cool too

Fuck off OP. That shittily written blog literally didn't even address *why* there isn't a direct Western counterpart.

The answer is because the HIND was mediocre -- at best -- at both roles that it tried to fill.

We experimented with it

The hind itself hasn't carried troops in a long time. There's no point in combining these roles.

It would be fine to develop a common airframe and then have dedicated variants. Combining both roles into a single variant was retarded.
