    Holy shit this guy is fucking obtuse. It's a leaked concept. Kamov has the chops to pull off advanced helicopter design. They have years and years of experience with the engineering of coaxial rotors. Coaxial rotors + push propulsion is hardly a new concept. Not so hard to think that they might have studies that never make it past that point, or even advanced design work that never will see the light of day/mass production. Like say... the RAH-66 didn't make it to production in the states. FFS.

    WoW, and WaR were both the start of some of my serious interest in WWII and a serious start of my hatred of all thing Nazi. Very influential books for me. The tv miniseries for both weren't bad either, from what I remember. Kind hard to do justice to a couple of books that are pretty vast in scope, but there were some great characters in those books.

    Brazilian River monitor, entered service in 1938, still serving. " Entering service in 1938, the Brazilian river monitor Parnaíba is the world's oldest warship in active service. Displacing over 700 tons, the ship has a draft under 6' (1.6m), enabling her to cruise the many rivers and coastal estuaries of Brazil. Parnaíba is armed with a 76mm gun as well as smaller weapons including two 40mm bofors, six oerlikon 20mm, as well as two mortars. "
