Talk:Armed helicopter

message: Seeing as helo bombing has been used in combat by the United States, Soviet Union, El Salvador, Sudan, and I'm sure others, I think its a bit unfair to call this a Lebanese development.  In fact, El Salvador used this exact combination during the fighting against the FLN in the 1980s. -- Thatguy96 23:17, 3 September 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: I'm sure the Mil Mi24 was rated for free fall bombs, though I don't know if this was ever used in combat, and I think there was special kind of barrel bomb that is designed to be rolled down the cargo bay ramp of Chinook helicopters.KTo288 00:17, 4 September 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Lebanese Development

message: When I read the 2007 Lebanon Conflict article it stated that "...Gazelle attack helicopters bombed the Islamists positions and bunkers." I don't see any reference to Lebanese Gazelles being equipped with bombs, only UH-1Hs. What's true? Where Gazelles used to bomb Fatah al-Islam or were they simply used in a more traditional rocket/machine gun strike role? Manxruler 06:13, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Did Lebanese Gazelles bomb the Islamists?

message: The first widespread use of the helicopter was during the Korean War and the armed helicopter matured during the French conflict in Algeria.  It would probably be useful to start with Korea and Algeria rather than Vietnam.  Just more or less an introduction to the theory of a armed combat helicopter. Idsnowdog 17:49, 7 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: This article is specifically about using helicopters to drop bombs, not the arming of helicopters in general. Most of that is already covered (or should be) at Attack helicopters. In fact, it might even be best to make this page a section of that article. - BillCJ 18:15, 7 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: After having looked at the Attack Helicopter article, I think merging this in should be greatly considered.  The attack helicopter article itself seems to require cleanup and expansion as well, and should really deal with the idea of the "armed" helicopter. -- Thatguy96 19:56, 7 September 2007 (UTC)

text: Good points. We might move this page to Armed helicopter, and expand it to cover all the history, and limit Attack helicopter to specifically those designed for the role from the AH-1 onwards. The attack helicopter is specific type of helicopter, while any helicopter can be armed, and they often are. We can include anti-submarine types in the "armed" article as well. There are definitely several ways we can go with this, and they are worth discussing with more people, possibly at WP:AIR. - BillCJ 22:16, 7 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Alright, started dicussion at WP:AIR about it here. -- Thatguy96 19:13, 10 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Glad to know about WP:AIR, as I have some other material to offer. In the current version of this article, there needs to be a transitional second sentence that explains how attack helicopters are a subset of armed helicopters. Howard C. Berkowitz (talk) 19:08, 26 April 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Feel free to work on adding that if you want to, as I have something else I need to do for the next few hours. The  tag is for asking others not to contribuite, while  alows aothers to participat. UC is mainly to let people now the article is currenttly a "mess", but not intended to stay that way. - BillCJ (talk) 19:13, 26 April 2008 (UTC)
