if i remember this right, the reason is because a certain some ppl thought it wise to buy parts in a rival company... and they said "fine but you aren't allowed to sell the heli outside AFRICA"
i might be wrong... but that is a part true... i think it was on the news or somthing.. but yea, thats basicly why. that and some stupidiy..

We were sanctioned at the time, so we couldn't interface our launching platform with standard US/International missles.
It a great ship, but can only fire our limited locally produced missles.

Serious Wows! Thought only Blue thunder did that :)

I think it has to be done fast though. Not sure you could do a Blue thunder length loop in real life.

quite impressive, doesn't seem to do it with as much ease as the lynx, see a vid called lynx backflip.
