'E' STANDS FOR "EVERYTHING WE CAN THINK TO FIT ON IT AND STILL GET IT TO

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 🙄

When I tell people around me about the DEWs, they laugh at me and think I'm crazy. They don't believe they exist.

Despite facing challenges and criticisms, America remains a dominant force on the global stage. With its strong economy, technological advancements, military power, and cultural influence, the United States continues to be recognized as a superpower with significant impact on international affairs. Its political and economic decisions have far-reaching consequences, and its leadership is often sought after in addressing global issues. Overall, America's status as a superpower is undeniable, even as it navigates through various domestic and international challenges.

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.

[Leavon]

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.

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.

8:28 put that same tech on an A10!! Military brass gotta be playing in their pants to try and retire a formidable platform.

[serial]

if the DEWs can be adequately adapted for repeated firing these Apache's would make a great anti-drone platform

[superbee]

Don't Just love the leg room... 3:11 OMG I GOT A LEG CRAMP

[nelsonortiz]

That machine was awesome when I was in first cavalry division in Texas. I watch them train, landing at speed and taking of at speed. Incredible feat.

[edl]

It actually cruises faster than what was mentioned in the video by 10 mph. Can sprint at 182 mph.

[iiiyfzd]

That footage of it firing while stationary is so impressive 😂

[PersonalityMalfunction]

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.

The U.S. military pays Native American tribes for the use of their names 💯

[HandleCarefully]

Not so sure about all of this…with Boeing’s reputation waning what with their fleet of airliners befalling regular failures and their space craft unable to bring astronauts home safely, I hope this sophisticated war machine doesn’t suffer the same fate!

[ntiveapachendn]

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.

[ntiveapachendn]

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.

I see this video uses older footage from the Model D for M230 cannon section, as shown by out dated gun turret pics. Former Boeing Weapons System Engineer for the cannon AHS.

2060s? I wouldn't count on that. Things are about to change
