Between 2024 and 2030, we're purchasing 10 x AH 64 Apaches. Most likely, the new block, model type. I love it. Although, we might help with building new helicopters, as I have some ideas. I think the beauty in the Apache, is the beauty in the A10 Warthog. It's the 30 mm gun. The Warthog's gun fires armor-piercing depleted uranium and high explosive incendiary rounds. This is the game changer. It shreds enemy armor.
If Russia, went to war with the US, in kinetic warfare. They would lose. As they are losing with Ukraine. Americans thrive on conventional warfare. If it's weapons to armor, a clash, they or we'd win.
The best thing about this, is the fact, you have a fast moving helicopter or plane which is essentially a heavy machine gun, that can strike from afar, and keep moving. Exerting monumental, unreal pressure on enemy targets or strongholds. If Prabhakaran, was holed up in his base. And there were 10 x Apaches firing at his side, from 360 degrees: It's over. He can't fire back or hit back at those moving targets in the sky. You can see any soldiers, with anti air missiles or manpads, which you can shoot at.
This is why it's so useful. However, if you only prize this. Never mind the hydra or hellfire AGM 114s. You can do away with those. You can just build a helicopter, a drone no less. Which can fire a 30mm. This could be the only use of the chopper. And it will chop them down.
