everything Raven says is just so right
the Rooivak is just awesome, i remember being able to sit int he cockpit the 1 time, we were told no photo's allowed, at the time i was just a kid and asked my dad why? he told me "the Rooivak contians much more sophitication and is still highly classified"
and in all honesty the Apache is infact a copy of the Rooivak, the Americans just wont admit this, much that the apache uses such as: moving you head left causes the chain gun to turn left
it was indeed stolen from the Rooivak. Rooivak is just wonderful, i havent seen any new Heli's pumped out by any country so far that could compete
this one looked promising
Sadly it was just a prototype

One chopper that would compete with the Rooivalk is the Russian HinD It doesn't have much in the way of overall preformance over the Rooivalk, but it's glass canopy can take a direct hit from a 20mm AP round and it can carry 6 troops. It's basicly something like a Ratel but with rotors attached to it.

If i am correct (and please correct me if im wrong), SA also created the first tank that cold drive and shoot simultaneously.

No, the 1st tank that could do that was in WW1, but South Africa made the 1st one that could do it accurately.
