Ангар Самолета

интегрированный шлем пилота Апача выглядит примерно так:

это самая первая версия, сейчас все иначе...

вот например шлем F-35

[Samolet]

У Апача есть две замечательные системы

Target Acquisition and Designation System и Pilot Night vision system...

крайне важные системы, о них мы обязательно поговорим позже...

The AH-64 carries a range of external stores on its stub-wing pylons, typically a mixture of AGM-114 Hellfire anti-tank missiles, Hydra 70 general purpose unguided 70 mm rockets, and AIM-92 Stinger air-to-air missiles for defense.

In case of emergency the pylons alsj have mounting points for personnel transfer, mounting points are handles normally used by maintenance personnel.

The AH-64 is designed to endure front-line environments and to operate during the day or night and in adverse weather using avionics and electronics, such as the Targer Acquisition and Designation System, Pilot Night Vision System, passive infrared countermeasures, Global Positioning system, GPS, and the Integrated Helmet and Display Sight System.

United States

The Apache was first used in combat during the 1989 invasion of Panama, Operation Just Cause.

The AH-64A Apache and the AH-64D Apache Longbow have played important roles in several Middle Eastern wars, including the Gulf War, Operation Enduring Freedom in Afganistan, and Operation Iraqi Freedom in Iraq.

The Apaches were proven to be excellent tank hunters and also destroyed hundreds of armored vehicles, mainly of the Iraqi army.

During Operation Desert Storm on 17 January 1991, eight AH-64As guided by four MH-53 Pave Low IIIs, were used to destroy a portion of the Iraqi radar network to allow bomber aircraft into Iraq without detection.

This was the first attack of Desert Storm.

The Apaches carried an asymmetrical load of Hydra 70 flechette rockets, Hellfires and one auxiliary fuel tank each. During the 100 hour ground war, a total of 277 AH-64s took part.

Apaches destroyed over 500 hundreds tanks, numerous armored personnel carriers and many other vehicles during Operation Desert Storm.

Deployment to Balkans took place during disputes in Bosnia and Kosovo in the later 1990s, but the Apache encountered problems which reduced their effectiveness considerably.

Criticisms included a lack of training for the crews and deficiencies in night vision equipment, fuel tank and aircraft survivability.

An Apache crashed during training in Albania on 27 April 1999.

Eventually the entire fleet in Balkans was grounded for two weeks in December 2000.

Major General Dick Cody, commanding officer of the 101st Airborne at the time, wrote a strongly worded memo to the US Army Chief of Staff about the failures in training and equipment.

[Samolet]

During Operation Iraqi Freedom several Apaches were damaged in combat, including one captured by Iraqi troops near Karbala on 24 March 2003, and shown on Iraqi television.

The captured helicopter was destroyed via air strike one day after it was downed.

The 24 March attack, against an armored brigade of the Iraqi Republican Guard's Medina Division, was largely unsuccessful.

US officials claimed that it was because the tank crews had set up a flak trap in broken terrain, employing their guns to good effect, while Iraqi officials claimed that the Apache was shot down by an old farmer with a Brno rifle because it was a terrible nuisance.

The helicopter came down intact and neither the pilot nor co-pilot was injured in the incident.

More recently two Apaches were lost along with their crews between to Iraqi insurget ground fire.

American AH-64Ds are currently flying in Iraq and Afganistan without the Longbow Fire Control Radar as there are simply no armored threats for coalition to deal with.

The vast majority of Apache Helicopters that have taken heavy combat damage have been able to continue their assigned missions and return safely to their bases.

For example, of the 33 Apaches employed in the 24 March 2003 atack, 30 were damaged by Iraqi ground fire with several being damaged beyond repair but only one of these did not make it back to base.

Israel

The Israeli Air Force uses the Apache to strike various targets with guided missiles.

The AH-64A attacked and destroyed some of Hezbollah outposts in Lebanon during the 1990s, attacking in many weather conditions, day and night.

During Al-Aqsa Intifada, the IAF used the Apaches to kill senior Hamas figures, such as Ahmed Yasin and Adnan al-Ghoul, with guided missiles.

In the Israel-Lebanon conflict, two AH-64A helicopters collided, killing one pilot and wounding three, all critically.

In another incident in the conflict, an IAF AH-64D Longbow crashed, killing two pilots, due to a malfunction in the rotor hub.

Вот где-то час назад по "Вестям" передали "горячую" новость про первую в РФ авиационную РЛС с активной фазированной решёткой (АФАР).

На Air Power Australia развёрнутая статья про этот дивайс висит аж с лета.

[Samolet]

GreenCross, вы не могли бы объяснить разницу, революционную как написано в статье, между обычным радаром и радаром с электронной обратокой информации, кроме естественно скорости обработи компьютером?

[Xenobarbital]

Ну наиболее очевидное преимущество - наличие неподвижной антенны. Механическое сканирование довольно энергоёмкий и медленный процесс. К тому же РЛС "традиционной" схемы могут обесечивать лишь одноканальный обстрел, в то время ФАР позволяет атаковать сразу несколько целей.

Вот тут на мой взгляд неплохо всё описано.

[Xenobarbital]

для сравнения, на Ми-24 в варианте П, 30 мм пушка вообще неподвижна

Теперь я думаю ясно насколько РФ отстала от Запада в вертолетостроении

ps

естественно ни о каких лазерных целеуказателях, приборах ночного видения активных радарах, системах Лонгбоу не может быть и речи на Ми-24

Ну раз пошла такая пьянка B)...

Ми-28Н (первый полёт 1996)

Подвижная турель (30 мм)

Оптическая система целеуказания, сопряжённая с пушкой и нашлемной системой пилота.

РЛС "Арбалет"

Ну если Кураре согласен, то пожалуйста.
