If the Rooskies can’t use them, I will take one for free with maintenance package and a boatload of the ordnance.

A helicopter doesn't have to land on a ship. I imagine the Russian army would love to have these.

I’d like to know how they expect to get the most out of this beast without a WSO?

I mean seriously! This thing SHOULD be the fastest rotor wing combatant in the air, but they take a guy OUT?

They hope to be able to sell them to various countries in need of a cheap-but-capable helicopter gunship.

it might prove to be a very potent multirole platform

Long as it's not up against Rambo in a Huey.

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

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.
