AH-64 Apache - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Apache AH-64 and AH-64Ds have played important roles in several Middle Eastern wars, including the Gulf war, Operation Enduring Freedom in Afghanistan, and Operation Iraqi Freedom in Iraq. The Apaches were proven to be excellent tank hunters and also destroyed hundreds of armored vehicles (mainly of the Iraqi army). Apache was first used in combat during the 1989 invasion of Panama, Operation Just Cause. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/AH-64_Apache   (1452 words)

frontline: the gulf war: weapons: ah-64 apache The Apache may also be armed with 2.75 inch folding-fin aerial rockets carried on two stub fins that provide additional lift and may serve as attaching points for external fuel tanks. The Apache helicopter was a ground-attack aircraft; tanks and fighting vehicles were its principal targets. It was not foolproof, but in the relative flatness of the desert terrain, the tactic gave the Apache pilots as much of a chance to pull off a surprise attack as they could reasonably hope for. www.pbs.org /wgbh/pages/frontline/gulf/weapons/apache.html   (585 words)

AH-64 Apache Team Defends Helicopter''s Performance In Iraq Responding to criticism of the performance of the AH-64 Apache attack helicopter during the war in Iraq, a Boeing Apache official and a retired former Apache commander said the aircraft's record proves it is survivable, although it's too early to draw definitive lessons learned from the conflict. Nine Apache Units were deployed to Iraq for Operation Iraqi Freedom, and the helicopter has flown an estimated 1,000 sorties with no casualties so far among aircrews, according to Boeing. The Apache was designed with "layers of survivability," according to Mike Burke, director of Apache business development for Boeing. www.aviationnow.com /avnow/news/channel_aerospacedaily_story.jsp?id=news/apache05013.xml   (544 words)

McDonnell Douglas AH-64 Apache (Peten) The Apache was developed by McDonnell Douglas to meet a U.S. army requirement for a day/night all weather anti armor ground support attack aircraft with a high potential for survival in the battlefield. Israeli involvement with the Apache started as far back as June 1983 when a prototype visited Israel for both testing the helicopter's performance in desert conditions and for flight testing by Israeli pilots, testing which resulted in a recommendation to purchase the type to bolster the IAF's anti-tank capabilities. Quickly put into active service, the Apache soon saw combat in Lebanon with its first attack against suspected terrorist locations on October 24. www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org /jsource/History/apache.html   (326 words)
