New Iranian Attack Helicopter?

[Yuki]

Check out this clip. It seems like they took a Jet Ranger and re-skinned it. It even sounds like a 206. Thoughts?

Looks like they used the drivetrain and tail boom from a 206 and hung a new body under it. The 206 Cobra variant.

"With the help of Allah, this old 206, and my cousin Akhmed who works in that sheet metal shop in Tehran, we will strike fear in the hearts of the infidel! Allah Akbar!!!"

 

Come on Iran... Stop acting like North Korea. We need a serious enemy.

I lived in Tehran for a couple years back the late '60's. That statement isn't too far from reality.

Looks similar to what Universal Studios have done with the French Gazzel in the moview "blue Thunder":

I don't even think you would need it. I could probably shoot that thing down with willpower alone.

Did they put an MD tail on it?

Interesting video. It's basically a paper tiger - you can even see the C20 twin exhausts sticking out the top. The Iranians love to make minor changes to existing aircraft and claim them as "indigenous aircraft". They did the same thing with a bunch of F-5 Tigers recently, adding a twin tail configuration and calling it the "Saeghe". Pretty sad, actually.

Chuck Norris already shot one down by making a gun with his thumb and index finger.

That was a bit of overkill after he shot down that mig over Afghanistan with harsh language.
