Description

This informative book is profusely illustrated and offers an exhaustive overview of combat helicopters in service throughout the world. With technical descriptions and 200 recently carefully selected photographs, the reader will discover these assault craft in air combat missions. The book also deals with the doctrines of how these rotary wing aircraft with remarkable performances are engaged and employed operationally, like in Libya, Mali and Syria. The recent conflicts have confirmed the leading role that combat helicopters can play on the battlefield. The future tactical drones have not been forgotten in the concepts of air combat. These pilotless platforms, included in the digitalisation of the air-to-ground space, will without doubt reach an operational stage in the coming decade. Text and captions are in French.
