[FASTBOAT TOUGH]

First "NOT SO FAST" the last post provides for one Squadron of the AH-2 SABRA.

However, from that same reference further down we have the following...

"The retirement of the attack helicopters also leaves an uncertain fate for the Poti Squadron (2nd/8th GAV), which operated the Mi-35s in Porto Velho (RO). The same source added that there is a possibility that the unit will be deactivated or continue in operation with H-60 ​​Black Hawk helicopters but says that so far there is no guarantee of this. "

I recommend leaving them in there UFN.

Trying to avoid someone chasing ghosts at this time.

Digging into this after I post this.

The reason I'm here is to post the following on HIMARS getting 4 helicopter kills behind Russian lines. The warheads are larger than I thought they are 200lb fragmentation rounds versus what I thought were 150lbs.

BRAZIL AH-2 SABRA UNITS 903 and 904 The following is I believe would serve as a good and viable END for this helicopter and allow a little "swag" for the other squadron I noted in my last post.

I recommend END JUN 2022.
https://www.aviacionline.com/brazili...licopter-fleet
(This is saying the last were retired just before the Russian invasion of the Ukraine. Dated 04 March 2024.

Other sites are saying Mar/Apr of 2022 of the retiring.

I'm still very comfortable with the END as just submitted.

It certainly covers all the "ambiguity" with these various dates on the web concerning the AH-2 SABRA retirement date.

ALSO... Brazil is to receive UH-60M Black Hawk (TI/GSR 40) helicopters to arrive by 2027.
