I guess you missed this in the article?
“Though the incident is still under investigation, early reports suggest the pilot banked too hard for the thin air, and lost sufficient lift under the rotors“
Or we are having ego problems ! I am not the type of guy who will have long discussion based...
Actually an investigation report would be best rather then assumption by news media you read that and I read this https://www.longwarjournal.org/videos/2012/03/apache_crash_in_paktika.php
maybe I am wrong but would helpful if we can find an investigation report
Again I don't know how much you know about US sale of weapons and it's policy, I worked for a firm which sells weapons to both India and Pakistan. In US and Canada sale of weapon sale are quite strict.
In Europe it's a different ball game, I met few of those retired military personal in Minsk...
I don’t know how much you know about the American defence equipment sale, but there is no middle man or dealer in between, when India buys from US it’s through FMS route, there is no import lobbies or dealers involved in the deals and nobody from the Indians side benefits from this deal.
Now...
It’s will have a bel data link and it might have HAL Sdr 2010 radio rather then Harris Kor24A, that’s the previous company I worked for.

well Enquirer and you are both talking about different things
first point would be what's the point of buying something that other system in our inventory will not be able to communicate with !!
Our system do not support waveforms such as Trellsware TSM X MANET or L3's ISR full motion video...
I don't know where you heard it's loosing sheen, it's doing good and far better sensitive sensor research are going on, A lot of my friends would be pissed of if they heard your comment it's their bread and butter.
The only problem with them is someone needs to be there to guide the missile to...
take a look under laser sensor they just say Laser target designator and laser illuminator/pointer.
Laser rangfinder is used to find the range.

To be honest that does not make sense, FLIR is a passive device it cannot ping.
Lazer designator can light up the target and other LCH can engage it in theory and you can do digital call for fire for artillery fire by sharing co-ordinates via mail.
In apache once a longbow acquire a target...
I am just taking a guess here, but I don't think a system like that exist in LCH, I think they use a voice communication on a radio when multiple LCH engages a target.
You need something like a longbow radar to cue the target and decide which platform will engage which target with the help of...
Not really, dumb bomb are still dropped in syria
this documentary how imp is Army Aviation was, and how soviets learned about it after the afghan war. Well for Indian army too lesson were learnt during Kargil war but it took a while for our army to induct helicopters because of the airforce.
may be they were trying for look up shoot up thing, but I don't know may the Manufacturer helped them to put it up side down from being -30o +80o to +30o -80o ??? what do you think ?
I see, well that's look like kps-53a electro-optical, I can't find a brochure on the internet but I have a friend who works in MIL she might be able to get us a brochure I guess. I don't think that EO system can have depression beyond -90o.
mostly attack heli cannot look bottom beyond the...
hmm according to the specs the dome can't point downwards more then - 85o and upwards towards +30o of course if you mounting it properly.
Don't forget FOV plays a really imp role here the more high you flying the more narrow you have to zoom your sensor so you won't be even getting -85o...
I have a question bro
http://elbitsystems.com/media/DCoMPASS_AIR_2016-1.pdf
Elevation - +35o to -85o according to the Manufacturer. How can it look behind or below it's can't even look -90o well micro compass is bit different but here we are talking about heavy dcompass.
Can you give me...
