Make US Army Aviation More Lethal

Σχόλιο Στρατηγού Φράγκου Φ.:

Αν δεν θέλει η ΠΑ τα Apache,που θα αποσύρει η US Army-Aviation , μήπως τα θέλει η Αεροπορία Στρατού;;

A few tweaks—and one big move—could dramatically increase the combat power available to commanders.

For speed, lethality and decisive influence on the land battle, Army Aviation is the Army’s crown jewel. Yet a few changes could dramatically increase the aerial force’s lethality and survivability, and do so without breaking the bank.

Army Aviation’s principal platforms—the AH-64E attack helicopter, the UH-60M assault helicopter and the CH-47F heavy lift helicopter—are proven, reliable and effective, able to operate day or night and in all weather. Army divisions today include a combat aviation brigade with 48 AH-64s, 30 UH-60s, and 12 CH-47s. This brigade also fields eight UH-60 command-and-control aircraft and 12 HH-60 medevac aircraft, as well as 12 RQ-7 and 12 MQ-1C unmanned aerial vehicles.
