I should have one of those to keep it out of the hands of bad people.

I would use mine to bring fine art and culture to a downtrodden and heathen world and only use it for the good of all mankind. /s

Actually I really should be allowed to have one of those because I would use it to break chit and kill bad lying dudes who say one thing and do another. That qualifies as use for good.

Heck no. He would just stand up on top of the Entire State building and swat it out of the air like a bug.

I can think of a target a lot closer that is hurting us all a lot more than Mecca right now.

IMHo, they'll sell some to Egypt for the ships they ordered and the Russians eventually bought. India may by some as well.

They already do. What the article misses is that the KA-52K is just the navalized version of the Russians’ KA-52, of which there are already over 100 in service.

On the ground ... bring extra undies
That thing is gorgeous... maybe a bit over the top intimidating
I toast the Engineers even if they play on the wrong team.
If I was younger and still viable ... I’d be trying to finangle a ride... that would be a real kick in the ass.
