As a theoretical design yes but I doubt russia can risk "workhorse" usage of them and attack helicopters are meant to be workhorses.

Sanctions and bullshitting are bad for deploying effectively what amounts to a what a flying tank hauling 10,000 pounds of cutting edge sophisticated electronics, sensors, engines and weapons.

Honestly I think Iran will end up doing far more with the helicopter in the medium term if anything.

Looks over at the AH-1Z and UH-1Y

Of course the Havoc would get eaten for breakfast stacked up against a proper tested, iterated and refined attack helicopter like the Apache or AH-1, that was a lesson Europe ignored for ~50 years until the AW249 finally establishes itself in a year or so (if all things go according to plan).

The thing is, there is where the US probably has the most dominance longterm militarily, the US Army had its ass kicked by the Indigenous peoples here, they lost hard and the US military has never quite forgotten that lesson, a lesson European militaries never really experienced and so they fall more easily into the belief that military power equals STRENGTH multiplied by NUMBER.

They are named the Apache and Iroquois for a reason, the Black Hawk is not named after a bird of prey, it is named after a specific Indigenous man named Black Hawk.....
