The McDonnell-Douglas (Boeing) AH-64 helicopter was selected as the winner of the competition with Bell's YAH-63 in December 1976. The name Apache stuck to the helicopter in 1981. This highly efficient machine has four-blade rotors driven by two General Electric T700-701 turbine engines with a capacity of 1696 hp. The residual wings are equipped with conventional trailing edge flaps, and the tail plate improves longitudinal control. The crew of two people takes places one after the other in the armored cabin. The pilot's seat is located in the rear and the gunner/gunner is in the front. Key to the universal use of the helicopter are the TADS systems on the gunner's base and the PNVS systems used by the pilot. TADS is a set of laser designator and target tracking rangefinder and a forward-facing infrared sensor copied from regular optics. The PNVS system is an advanced FLIR system that allows you to pilot a helicopter just above the ground in order to prevent or delay detection by enemy air defenses. Apache helicopters participated in the operation in Panama in 1989, during Desert Storm in 1991 or the last conflict in Iraq (2003). In the late 1990s, construction began on a new version of the helicopter, equipped with a Martin / Westinghouse Longbow millimeter radar installed overhead for weapons control. It is used to control Rockwell AGM-114 Hellfire anti-tank missiles. Technical data: Top speed: 300 km/h; climb speed 12.7 m/s, maximum range (without external tanks): 689 km, armament: 30mm Hughes M230A1 Chain Gun fixed-1 cannon, and outboard armament - most often Hellfire missiles.
