TEXT IN FRENCH

This comprehensive and detailed book covers all combat helicopters in service around the world. The reader will discover, through technical descriptions and 200 carefully selected recent photos, the attack devices in air combat missions. The book also discusses the doctrines of engagement and the operational use of these “rotary wings” with remarkable performance, including reviewing operations in Libya, Mali or Syria. These recent conflicts have confirmed the leading role that helicopter gunships can play on the battlefield. Future tactical drones are not forgotten in the concept of air combat. These unmanned platforms, which will integrate into the digitization of air-land space, will undoubtedly reach an operational stage in the next decade.
