Rooivalk

This attack helicopter is the defence industry's crown jewel, and entirely built in South Africa.

It is a twin-engined multi-role attack helicopter with full day/night combat capability and outstanding agility.

A fantastic performance to show the air support that can be given by the Rooivalk.When everyone concentrated on the Oryx helicopter almost out of nowhere and with no sound the Rooivalk appeared to support paratroops dropped from the Oryx.
