Man, what a beast. When I was flying gunships all we had were B and Charley model Huey's with 2.75 rockets and M-60s, had a 40mm in the nose. We finally got a few AH-1's but by the time I got one my tour was over.. Things would have been different if we'd had Apaches. That's quite the attack bird.
Echo’s aren’t new…they’ve been in the inventory since 2017. Also they don’t run T901 engines, no one does…they run 701D’s. The T901 is the ITEP currently being tested by PAO 🙄
I've worked on this program, and is a great attack helicopter. I would have preferred the army use Honeywells T 55 Engines same engine as Chinook and be use in the army new helicopter.
My unit had over 90% ready to go and available in the beginning of Desert Storm. That was the Alpha model though. As the war progressed that number went down but we still had over 80% despite the fire we took. Great helicopter. The Delta and the Echo models are probably different animals with a lot more capability than my original model had. I wrote this again to clarify because of the questions I received.
It was not conceived as a "Multi-Role" helicopter it was designed as a Tank Killer for a war in Europe that never happened, they are now trying to get it to fill multiple roles on the battlefield which it simply can not do. It's a great attack helicopter but it absolutely blows as a Scout/Recon platform, it's too big, loud and has shitty close in visibility for that role it's noise and rotor signature give away it's position too easily to operate in anything but it's original concept as an attack platform. Do everyone a favor and stop blowing smoke up the publics backside or assigning it to Cavalry Units you're not fooling anyone.
If I am correct by changing the engine which they have and by altering/redesigning the rotors like materials used, slight variations in shape or angle , those changes alone could possibly alter the amount of noise the helicopter creates. It will never be a stealth helicopter by any means. Airwolf was a Hollywood fantasy.
Okay Chumlee your wish is granted. Drones. Drones don't cost multiple tens of millions of dollars per copy. Drones don't get shot down by man pads. When a drone gets shot down Pilots don't die. Is your answer cheerio
DEWs might be incorporated into the self-defense trick-bag. High Power Microwave DEWs might be a 'shotgun' anti-drone measure in uncongested battlespaces.
It will be interesting to see what its survivability is on a near per battlefield. The proliferation of very lethal and accurate manpads and the emerging autonomous drone and FPV drone threat is a very different affair than the ZSU 23-2's and RPG 7's the Apache has had to contend with for the last couple of decades. It will take a long time to ensure the failed 2002 Karbala Gap raid, where only one of 31 aircrafts returned in a flight worthy condition and grounded the entire 11th Attack Helicopter regiment for a whole month, is never repeated.

Well technically they have a job but it's not something that they'll actually get a chance to do in a combat situation. We are very good at shooting planes out of the sky. Doing that job for 10 years not a single training scenario has come up with enemy aircraft. We always have air superiority, or in the words of a stinger platoon sergeant if it flies it dies.

@@MrCyp200la The longbow was taken down with a hail of enemy rifle fire in a few cases. One drone through the windscreen or rotor blades will be more effective.
The Ah-64D Longbow is still in use but is getting phased out. The Ah-64E is the newest version and can do everything the D model did and more, including using the FCR/Longbow Radar.
With the current state of war, helicopters seem to only be used if you already have total air superiority, and the enemy's anti-aircraft batteries are destroyed. Not much of a weapon if you can only use it against powers that are far weaker than yourself.
That was way back when Boeings Quality Control Inspectors knew what they were doing, today, I am worried to board a Boeing airliner though, I can even teach a few of them how to interpret dwgs and specs. What a bummer!

Will discontinue much quicker than expected . Drone choppers carry more and can do missions longer without a pilot , and can fly extreme maneuvers at low level flying , making it far more evasive than human driven helicopters.

@@Justin-dy2ib just to let you know I was Airborne infantry for almost 10 full years and then went to flight school. That's my photograph that you see flying a huey in flight school. After that I wanted to cobras and flew those for almost 10 years. I went to the Apache transition, and I got to tell you it's one of the safest aircraft we had in the inventory. We take aircraft incidents extremely seriously. I'm not sure where you're getting this whole idea about the aircraft disintegrating and flight but that just doesn't happen. I think that you should probably find reference material someplace else. Additionally, the United States Army has more aircraft than the Air Force Navy and Marine Corps combined. Do we have incidences that occur, of course we do. It's just a factor of pure numbers but what you guys are laying here are just ridiculous. As far as the attack series, anytime we had an aircraft with major upgrades we change the designation. I went from flying the AH-1S through the AH-1F model Cobra all the way to the ECAS model in Korea. They look the same but they sure as hell ain't the same machine. Therefore they change the designator for that aircraft. This from a retired attack helicopter pilot. I realize that you guys are only listening to stuff you see online but there's a lot of bad information out there. Boeing has had a couple of spectacular incidents so now everything that they built is garbage? What in the world! Boeing presently has hundreds of thousands of aircraft in the skies and they don't fall out of the sky every minute of the day. They had a couple of incidences, that doesn't mean the company only puts out crap. The Apache is one of the toughest aircraft I have ever seen up close and actually sat in. I hate to say it but it out did my aircraft by a mile. It's tough to shoot down, not impossible but it is absolutely survivable. It's comparable to the Russian tanks as opposed to the Western tanks. They just don't blow up when you look at them the wrong way. So, in closing you guys are listening to some horrible information and just kind of spreading it around.
The Veteran Guy said that when he was serving in that war the Apache Helicopter Pilots upon hearing that he was in the Company that they were near flew to him and bowed to him in the Apache Helicopters to him an Apache as a sign of Respect.
LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL..........155 mph the CH-47 is almost 196 mph, and can fly just as high, and can fly at least 450 miles. And the Link 16 is a highspeed data link between various platforms.
It's not the job of the Apache to fly fast and high. It's the ability to fly low and slow. It's not a lift aircraft it's an attack helicopter. Different missions different flight profiles. You may as well compared to a learjet.
But in Ucraina helicopters proved to be extremely vulnerable to man pads.... What happens to an Apache if hit by a rocket like the ill fated ka52 was?? 😮😮😮
The KA-52 crew needs visual targeting and there are many videos where they have had to be a couple hundred meters from the enemy in the daytime before they could attack. The Apache can use third party targeting allowing it to be several km away from the target and not visually see the target.
prince Harry was flying the Apache in Afgshnistan for the zBritish Army’s, Army’s Army Air Corps. I was in the REME looking after The Westland scout, gazelle snd lynx after leaving in 1986 I graduated to work on the boeing B747-100,200,300 & 400icludung. the cargo variants on N-Reg snd G-Reg aircraft. the Atlas Air B747-400Fs. were the best - no IFE!
@@mrgrinch837 I never said they were. They obviously have no need or reason for stealth and chose to continue with the Apache only as they really only would be fighting in Afghanistan They would be the only counter for the S-500. They would actually be like the F-22 and F-35 which still continue to operate most likely electric and drone operated. They clearly have had a technological slowdown in development as they felt they have a sufficient arsenal.
@@_google_user_ your exact words were still "think they should use the RAH 64 comanche". That would portend that the choice is there. As far as attacks on sophisticated anti-aircraft radar systems I'm a retired attack helicopter pilot, that's not a part of our mission. We cover the Infantry and the armor. Those anti-aircraft systems would be so far ahead of us we have to get refueled just to get to them. Additionally, we don't really show up on ground-based radars. But I guarantee you the Air Force and navy has a system to wipe those things off the face of the earth. There's no need for helicopters to get involved . We'd be like a kindergartener getting involved in a Street brawl. Attack Helicopters are not involved in that type of thing
@@mrgrinch837 Oh okay. Well you pretty much explained it with proof as a veteran air force pilot. It was hypothetical to me if they continued with this type of design and what its mission would have been and what if as there is a real need for its design was originally for. I have no argument "the Air Force and navy has a system to wipe those things off the face of the earth." Thanks for speaking.
@@_google_user_ if it helps you to know, we have a strategy on how we fight battles. The first thing in would be the Air Force Jammers and bombers. They take out the radar systems and the command control and Communications element, the c3. We didn't send in low-level strike fighters to take out the airstrips to keep them from flying away. Just like Desert Storm then we start bombing the living crap out of them for a week and a half maybe 2 weeks until they've been degraded to a significant amount. And then finally after that that's when the ground troops come in, and that includes the attack helicopters. By the time the ground element moves all defensive radar systems will be wiped out. The Army and Marines basically show up for cleanup. Bottom line, we don't need to evade radar because they won't be in existence at that point. It's quite the party if you've got an invite.
@@QamarulHassan-hu9hn There is a video on TH-cam of an American pilot who thought he could fly through a tree. He found out that helicopters cannot fly through trees. There is a video of a Greek pilot that tried a low altitude stunt over water and stuck the Apache in the drink.

The Apache has had issues since they first started upgrading it after the Alpha models.
@@Justin-dy2ibso did the Wright flyer
@@mrgrinch837 of course it did but how many years has the 64 been flying and how many different models since the Alpha’s at this point?
Right now they’re throwing tail rotor blades because the shitty company Boeing contracted to make them.
Prior to that its rotor head has always had issues. It’s time for a replacement.
@@Justin-dy2ib just to let you know I was Airborne infantry for almost 10 full years and then went to flight school. That's my photograph that you see flying a huey in flight school. After that I wanted to cobras and flew those for almost 10 years. I went to the Apache transition, and I got to tell you it's one of the safest aircraft we had in the inventory. We take aircraft incidents extremely seriously. I'm not sure where you're getting this whole idea about the aircraft disintegrating and flight but that just doesn't happen. I think that you should probably find reference material someplace else. Additionally, the United States Army has more aircraft than the Air Force Navy and Marine Corps combined. Do we have incidences that occur, of course we do. It's just a factor of pure numbers but what you guys are laying here are just ridiculous. As far as the attack series, anytime we had an aircraft with major upgrades we change the designation. I went from flying the AH-1S through the AH-1F model Cobra all the way to the ECAS model in Korea. They look the same but they sure as hell ain't the same machine. Therefore they change the designator for that aircraft. This from a retired attack helicopter pilot. I realize that you guys are only listening to stuff you see online but there's a lot of bad information out there. Boeing has had a couple of spectacular incidents so now everything that they built is garbage? What in the world! Boeing presently has hundreds of thousands of aircraft in the skies and they don't fall out of the sky every minute of the day. They had a couple of incidences, that doesn't mean the company only puts out crap. The Apache is one of the toughest aircraft I have ever seen up close and actually sat in. I hate to say it but it out did my aircraft by a mile. It's tough to shoot down, not impossible but it is absolutely survivable. It's comparable to the Russian tanks as opposed to the Western tanks. They just don't blow up when you look at them the wrong way. So, in closing you guys are listening to some horrible information and just kind of spreading it around.
Only Apache can fly Apache
My dad told me that there is a Guy who is a Veteran of the USArmy here on the White Mountain Apache Tribe that Served during the Gulf War.
The Veteran Guy said that when he was serving in that war the Apache Helicopter Pilots upon hearing that he was in the Company that they were near flew to him and bowed to him in the Apache Helicopters to him an Apache as a sign of Respect.
Don let Chinese know will copy cat4sure😢
What happened to the Comanche? Oh wait that's still secret...sorry.
LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL..........155 mph the CH-47 is almost 196 mph, and can fly just as high, and can fly at least 450 miles. And the Link 16 is a highspeed data link between various platforms.
It's not the job of the Apache to fly fast and high. It's the ability to fly low and slow. It's not a lift aircraft it's an attack helicopter. Different missions different flight profiles. You may as well compared to a learjet.
But in Ucraina helicopters proved to be extremely vulnerable to man pads....
What happens to an Apache if hit by a rocket like the ill fated ka52 was?? 😮😮😮
The KA-52 crew needs visual targeting and there are many videos where they have had to be a couple hundred meters from the enemy in the daytime before they could attack. The Apache can use third party targeting allowing it to be several km away from the target and not visually see the target.
Boeing upgrades? Oh dear.
Had apachies on the uss inchon lph 12 in 1972
prince Harry was flying the Apache in Afgshnistan for the zBritish Army’s, Army’s Army Air Corps. I was in the REME looking after The Westland scout, gazelle snd lynx after leaving in 1986 I graduated to work on the boeing B747-100,200,300 & 400icludung. the cargo variants on N-Reg snd G-Reg aircraft. the Atlas Air B747-400Fs. were the best - no IFE!
10 trillion dollar investment of your this technology please sir please
Please increase your helicopter sized please sir
Still think they should use RAH64 comanches.
Those were never built slick, try to keep up.
@@mrgrinch837 I never said they were. They obviously have no need or reason for stealth and chose to continue with the Apache only as they really only would be fighting in Afghanistan They would be the only counter for the S-500. They would actually be like the F-22 and F-35 which still continue to operate most likely electric and drone operated. They clearly have had a technological slowdown in development as they felt they have a sufficient arsenal.
@@_google_user_ your exact words were still "think they should use the RAH 64 comanche". That would portend that the choice is there. As far as attacks on sophisticated anti-aircraft radar systems I'm a retired attack helicopter pilot, that's not a part of our mission. We cover the Infantry and the armor. Those anti-aircraft systems would be so far ahead of us we have to get refueled just to get to them. Additionally, we don't really show up on ground-based radars. But I guarantee you the Air Force and navy has a system to wipe those things off the face of the earth. There's no need for helicopters to get involved . We'd be like a kindergartener getting involved in a Street brawl. Attack Helicopters are not involved in that type of thing
@@mrgrinch837 Oh okay. Well you pretty much explained it with proof as a veteran air force pilot. It was hypothetical to me if they continued with this type of design and what its mission would have been and what if as there is a real need for its design was originally for. I have no argument "the Air Force and navy has a system to wipe those things off the face of the earth." Thanks for speaking.
@@_google_user_ if it helps you to know, we have a strategy on how we fight battles. The first thing in would be the Air Force Jammers and bombers. They take out the radar systems and the command control and Communications element, the c3. We didn't send in low-level strike fighters to take out the airstrips to keep them from flying away. Just like Desert Storm then we start bombing the living crap out of them for a week and a half maybe 2 weeks until they've been degraded to a significant amount. And then finally after that that's when the ground troops come in, and that includes the attack helicopters. By the time the ground element moves all defensive radar systems will be wiped out. The Army and Marines basically show up for cleanup. Bottom line, we don't need to evade radar because they won't be in existence at that point. It's quite the party if you've got an invite.
Can it destroy itself?
Sort of. It makes the pilot seem invincible to the point that they have purposely crashed into trees, a building and one thought it could swim.
@@orlock20 what 😂😂
@@QamarulHassan-hu9hn There is a video on TH-cam of an American pilot who thought he could fly through a tree. He found out that helicopters cannot fly through trees. There is a video of a Greek pilot that tried a low altitude stunt over water and stuck the Apache in the drink.
