What's new

India, US set to ink $1.4bn deal for 22 Apache helicopters

Any anti-armour push will have following if we get the Block III

1. UAV controlled by the Apache with Longbow
2. Another Apache leading a batch of lighter attack choppers

So the Hunter Killer will consist of a Longbow operating as a command centre and the lighter choppers with anti-armour missiles with couple of Apaches.

Think about it, 1 Apache plus 5 LCH with hellfires and Nags.
 
^ This is what Apache are meant for....good explanation buddy.
 
63.5 Million Dollars per piece....that too for a f###ing Attack Helicopter...i think either our govt have lost it or they have become too currupt......come on yaar this is pure loot man....
 
This what you post in a defence related article :hitwall:
Just shows the level of hatred some people have :disagree:

I think you didn't read this part:

The impending $1.4 billion contract for the 22 Apaches will also include the supply of 812 AGM-114L-3 Hellfire Longbow missiles, 542 AGM-114R-3 Hellfire-II missiles, 245 Stinger Block I-92H missiles and 12 AN/APG-78 fire-control radars, as per the Barack Obama administration's notification to the US Congress.
 
Why IAF? Why can't IA have the exclusive command over rotary aircrafts like many modern armies in the world.

in our system it happens very slowly. after 5 years may be they will think about it.
 
Looks like labeling indian PM as 'underachiever' bearing fruits for US. $1.4 billion is not bad, all in all $8 billion for US is all good.

Its not like we disagree that MMS is an underachiever, really he's just a puppet of Sonia Gandhi.
Nothing is in his hands. If he tries to achieve something Sonia wil pull him down with force anyway...
worry about yourself first.

I know IN has plans of amphibious invasion of Bangladesh within 2020 and forced reunification.

OT, but both presidents have the same problems. Both are seen only as single persons, but the reality is, that not a single person is deciding, but a party or in MMSs case a coalition, which makes it even worse!
Even Obama had to face politicans in his own party, that voted against his reform plans and people in India really think MMS can do anything he wants in a party that is not under his control and a coalition with other parties? That's naive thinking and based on the wrong picture, that you are electing a leader, a single person that will do it, but that's wrong! You are electing a party or a coalition, that's why it's more important to know what they are up to, when they are in power and not what the single person is saying before the elections, because no matter how good his intentions might be, at the end party policies are the most important point!

I don't know for which thing MMS is taking revenge from India.
No other person has damage the defence of India so much.

What TF are you talkin' about?
Don't go off on a tangent!


Now about the Apache itself. Certainly a 'mean bird'. But with the entire package of sensors and weapons, its gonna be an 'awesome killer bird'! :D
