Current Versions

        AH-64A: Produced for US Army and export; 937 built. First 603 had two 1,265 kW (1,696 shp) T700-GE-701 engines. Total of 530 US Army examples to be upgraded to AH-64D. Retrofit from 1993 with SINCGARS secure radios and GPS; first installed in Apaches of 5-501 Aviation Regiment on deployment to Camp Eagle, South Korea.
        AH-64B: Cancelled in 1992. Was planned near-term upgrade of 254 AH-64As with improvements derived from operating experience in 1991 Gulf War, including GPS, SINCGARS radios, target handover capability, better navigation, and improved reliability including new rotor blades.
        AH-64C: Previous designation for upgrade of AH-64As to near AH-64D standard, apart from omission of Longbow radar and retention of -701 engines; provisions for optional fitment of both; Army requested draft proposal, August 1991; funding for two prototype conversions awarded in September 1992. With exception of AH-64Ds and resales, all remaining US Army AH-64As (then approximately 540) to have been modified. Designation abandoned late 1993.
        AH-64D Apache Longbow: Current improvement programme based on Lockheed Martin and Northrop Grumman joint venture development of mast-mounted AN/APG-78 Longbow millimetre-wave radar and Hellfire missile with RF seeker; Northrop Grumman has lead on Longbow with Lockheed Martin taking principal role for Hellfire.

Lep tekst.
AH-64 je imao svoje zlatne trenutke za vreme prvog zalivskog rata,kada je postigo briljantne rezultate protiv Irackih oklopnih divizija.Mada se i to mora uzeti sa rezervom jer su Iracani pali u haoticnom stanju pa je velika verovatnoca da bi bili unisteni od bilo kojih helikoptera naoruzanih odgovarajucim projektilima.Za vreme rata protiv nas 1999 nisu se proslavili i po nezvanicnim informacijama oborena su dva Apaca,koje su oni podveli pod nesrecne slucajeve.Za vreme drugog zalivskog rata prosli su ko bos po trnju i pretpili su velike gubitke to jest bolje receno i dan danas trpe sto Americka vojska pokusava da podvede pod tehnicke nezgode sto izgleda smesno svakom ko se iole razume u zbivanja na terenu.

da...

dobar je helis,u svakom slucaju...

Da nema neko slučajno listu zemalja kojima je Apač isporučen (uz varijantu i tačan broj)?

Pa ovako:

* Izrael  18 komada AH-64A isporuceno  1990. godine

* Saudiska Arabija 13 koamda AH-64A isporuceno 1993. godine

* Egipat 24 komada AH-64A isporuceno 1994 godine i jos 12 komada AH-64A isporuceno 1996. godine

* UAE 20 komada AH-64A isporuceno 1993 godine i jos 10 komada AH-64A isporuceno 1996. godine

* Holandija 30 komada WAH-64D isporuceno 1998. godine

* Engleska 67 komada WAH-64D isporuceno 1998. godine

* Singapur 8 komada AH-64D

a grčka?

Upssssss!   Naravno i Grcka ima 19 komada AH-64A i 12 komada AH-64D.Zaboravio sam jos i Japan koji ima 50 ili 55 komada AH-64D, a Kuvajt ima 16 komada AH-64D.

Nadam se da vise nikog nisam zaboravio

fala bogu nisi!    iskreno ja za najheldžus idalje pucam na Mi-24/35, ali nije ni Apač loš. Dobro se pokazao u raznim borbama.

Apac je proslost.Imo je svoje zlatne trenutke ali ga je pregazilo vreme.Po meni trenutno najbolji hrlikopter je KA-50/52,zver od masine.Zna li neko sta se desava sa projektom Komanci,jedno vreme se pricalo da je citav koncept otkazan.

RAH-66 Komanči je definitivno otkazan. Trebao je da bude prvi stelt helikopter ali izgleda da im to nije pošlo za rukom. Inače sam program je progutao milijarde dolara.
Po tvrdnjama iz Rusije KA-50 je napravio pravi dar-mar u Čečeniji sa teroristima. Imena posada se strogo čuvaju, piloti daju intervjue samo pod vizirom pilotske kacige...
Mislim da ih Izrael ima još. Skoro (zadnjih godinu-dvije) su im isporučivani novi AH-64D.
