cool but costly,even if france buy from russia attack helicopter those ka50/52,mi28 will be cheaper and more effective than tiger attack heli

buy helicos from Russia? You got to be kidding me. Russia can't even field a multipurpose amphibious ship in their navy and resorted to buying one from France.
