no, T129's M197 20mm gun can engage you from outside your rifle's range. You're suggesting that a 7.62 machinegun would be enough. No. It wouldn't be.Yes, but this is also legit for T-129. Your lose will always be cheaper on cheap unmanned helicopters; you will only risk unmanned helicopter's itself which is not as much expensive as T-129, and no pilot's life will be risked.
So you are in profit anyway.
Threats have changed though. Helicopters are much less survivable these days.Having stuffed handgranedes into glass jar, our soldiers used to drop jars from helicopters onto terrorists.
Comparing those old days with todays laser guided smart bombs we should just chill out.
I think the proper way to go forward is to make Atak-2 with ejection seats.
We should all push for that.
