As per MSN India website, the following was reported.
Have you ever seen a helicopter do a back-flip rollover? Or come out of a nose dive and launching straight into attack?
Not only does the Apache AH-64 - a multi-role attack helicopter - have guns that the gunner can control just by moving his head, it also boasts an impressive array of weaponry and a proven battlefield record going back to the early 1990's.
And India has just bought 22 such helicopters ahead of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's visit to the US. The Cabinet Committee on Security (CCS) on Tuesday cleared a multi-billion dollar deal for 22 Apache attack helicopters and 15 Chinook heavy-lift choppers with American aviation giant Boeing. These will replace the Indian Air Force's present fleet of Mi-35 Hind-E helicopters.
American companies have over the last decade bagged defence contracts from India worth around $10 billion, including for aircraft like P-8I maritime surveillance planes, C-130J 'Super Hercules' and C-17 Globemaster-III in the transport category.
India will also be acquiring Hellfire missiles and rockets that make the Apache AH-64 such a formidable beast.The 22 Apache AH 64E Guardian helicopters are some of the most advanced multi-role combat helicopters, featuring all-weather and night-fighting features.
The radar automatically searches, detects, locates, classifies, and prioritizes fixed and moving targets on land, sea and in the air in all weather environments and battlefield conditions.
It is the perfect combat machine, and something the IAF will be proud to add to its repertoire of weapon platforms.
According to Boeing, the AH-64 is capable of classification and threat-prioritisation of upto 128 stationary targets in less than a minute and engage with 16. That's right, 16. Apart from that the Apache AH-64E also has stealth characteristics, advanced sensors and beyond-visual-range missiles.
The AH-64E Apache has a four-blade main rotor and a four-blade tail rotor. The crew sits in tandem, with the pilot sitting behind and above the copilot/gunner. Not only that but it has a combination of laser-guided precision Hellfire missiles, 70mm rockets, and a 30mm automatic cannon with up to 1,200 high-explosive, dual-purpose ammunition rounds.
Fitted with air-to-air missiles, an Apache helicopter has the capability to take on enemy choppers and UAV, thereby providing support to ground troops. This variant can also operate over land and,sea and that's one of the reasons it has been used extensively in the conflict zones of Afghanistan, and Iraq.
Between 1984 and 1997, Boeing produced 937 AH-64As for the US Army, Egypt, Greece, Israel, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates.
Capable of detecting 256 moving targets and engaging them, the twin-engine Apache is operated by two pilots. The AH-64E Apache has the ability to control unmanned aerial vehicles. The Apache also uses a self-sealing fuel system to protect against the loss of fuel caused by ballistic projectiles.
The Apache came up against stiff competition from Russia, which had offered its Mi-28N Night Hunter and Mi-26 heavy-lift copters. Both have been in combat in Afghanistan and Iraq.
