Very few one-syllable names in there too...Hind and Havoc come to mind.

“He was the most prodigious personification of all human inferiorities. He was an utterly incapable, unadapted, irresponsible, psychopathic personality, full of empty, infantile fantasies, but cursed with the keen intuition of a rat or a guttersnipe. He represented the shadow, the inferior part of everybody’s personality, in an overwhelming degree, and this was another reason why they fell for him.” -
Don't forget the Ka-27/28/29/31 Helix or the Ka-50 Hokum.Comment

Observation for the O....the V is...oh heck, I don't have a clue since it should mean vertical but I don't think the Bronco could take off straight up.Originally posted by Captain Drunk“He was the most prodigious personification of all human inferiorities.

Nope, was just using those 2 as an example of one-syllable. They both happened to be from the Mil bureau though. :)Originally posted by hello
Yep, there's another one. "Haze" is also a Soviet helo as I recall...Originally posted by hello
Probably nothing at all, just seemed somewhat odd.
From what I understand, the Soviets were usually very interested to know what the NATO names were going to be.“He was the most prodigious personification of all human inferiorities.

A patrol unit would essentially have the capability to attack the hostiles. That holds true for historical & modern warfare.Self-control is the chief element in self-respect, and self-respect is the chief element in courage.Comment
