Helicópteros de combate

[Azael]

Turquía se plantea desarrollar una versión naval del ATAK II, que volará en 2023, para embarcar en sus LHD de origen español:

Aquí el más tonto hace relojes. Habría que seguir de cerca que van a hacer en su Anadolu, como integrarán drones y helos de ataque?

El Atak II llevará capacidad para colaborar y guiar UAV´s, poder desplegar un enjambre de helicópteros de 11 toneladas junto a UCAVs y UAV´s desde una aeronave de asalto anfibio puede ser una forma muy efectiva para debilitar a un enemigo en un sector pequeño y garantizar el despliegue de tropas. Teniendo en cuenta que Turquía tiene pretensiones sobre islas en el Egeo, y que requiere mayor capacidad de proyección en el Mar Negro y en países como Libia o Qatar, no sería una mala idea, especialmente desde que Turquía ya no va a recibir el F-35. Los Turcos son bastante imaginativos y tienen dos cosas mas importantes que el capital humano que tantos éxitos les ha dado...iniciativa y voluntad.

Continuando con el CH-53, esta unidad alemana ha tenido que realizar un aterrizaje de emergencia, afortunadamente sin consecuencias: https://twitter.com/Team_Luftwaffe/stat ... 7927071745

Canada tiene en el suelo toda la flota de Sikorsky CH-148 Cyclone.(ACTUALIZACION)

De los 23, han encontrado grietas en el fuselaje trasero en 19, 2 están "límpios" y otros dos están en revisión "mayor" y no se les ha buscado de momento.
https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/nova-sco ... -1.6273953

En las revisiones realizadas, han encontrado al causante y son los equipos de comunicaciones y antenas varias que les han colocado en la zona y que no estaban previstos en diseño. Hay que ir reparando los uno a uno y están trabajando con el fabricante para una solución a largo plazo. Los S92 en los que se basan y que no tienen ese equipamiento, no han desarrollado este problema.

British Army opens helicopter flying to all ranks
02 February 2022

The British Army has opened up helicopter flying to all ranks, announcing on 1 February that privates can now become pilots.
While Army Air Corps (AAC) pilots had earlier been drawn from either the officer ranks or from the non-commissioned ranks of lance-corporal or above, all soldier rank personnel are now eligible to fly helicopters (the service no longer operates manned fixed-wing aviation).

“Soldiers from across the army now have the opportunity to apply to become an army helicopter pilot much earlier in their careers,” the AAC said. “The minimum rank to become an army pilot has been lowered to private, with a recommendation for promotion to lance corporal”.
As the AAC noted, this move, which is part of the wider Project Morden personnel transformation initiative, represents one of the biggest upheavals in the way the corps recruits, selects, and employs soldier pilots since its formation in 1957.

Si eso lo ven los "Knight", "Ritten", "caballeros" que pusieron en marcha la aviacion de combate antes y durante la primera guerra mundial les da algo. Empiezas por ahi y terminas subiendote al avion por la derecha.

Es más extraño porque la proporción de helicopteros del AAC frente al resto de fas es menor que la ALAT que es muy potente, y el proceso de formación británico es único para todas las FAS (aunque en Francia también está bastante integrado, mucho más que en España).

Los helicópteros del SAER de la Guardia Civil también son pilotados por cabos, en la ultima convocatoria para pilotos de ala fija tres vacantes sargento y tres teniente.

Tampoco hay que irse fuera.

El EdA se vera obligado a habilitar suboficiales pilotos en determinados puestos y aparatos.
