    AH-64E Apache attack helicopter

    There seems to be an epidemic of bird strikes in India which can be cured by simple measures such as keeping hawks near airports to drive away smaller birds. The fact that after so many bird strikes this continues until now is a little embarassing don't you think?

    So sensitive. But why don't you take criticisms possitively? It's called "feedback." American media criticizes America 100 pr mpre times more than India and here you are crying about anti-Indian American-media led international media conspiracy. You see, you see what you like to see. That's...

    AH-64E Apache attack helicopter

    Americans are the biggest buyers of American weapons and yet American media are the most critical of American weapons, price and other aspects. All the issues with American weapons systems that we know off are reported by American media. That's free press. It's like a conscience for countries...

    It's clear that Russia is having it's own UK-to-US moment (starting WW2). It's hedging that it can slow down it's decline by aligning to a rising power.

    AH-64E Apache attack helicopter

    Look at the details. I'm site it's not only for an airframe. The US normally does not sell complex weapons systems as stand-alone ttansactions. This kind of sale would normally include weapons, spares, training ammos, training, simulators, access to satellite comms, software updates, infra for...

    AH-64E Apache attack helicopter

    There is no corruption in US foreign military sales. The US Foreign Corrupt Practices Act is much feared among US businessmen. A deal of this magnitude and sensitivity will not escape US government watchdogs. Bribing is for European and Russian defense deals.

    Definitely. Hellfire can attack a target at vertical 90degree angle. Just look at these so called samurai Hellfore attacks: APS systems are designed to counter land based ATGMs. The angles of attack of their hardkill casettes or projectiles reflect this fact. It's very hard to mount a hard...

    AH-64E Apache attack helicopter

    That's how Americans operste. But SOFs were mainly recon. They did not knock down Iraqi radars to open aircraft corridors. The credit still goes to Apache.
