I read that UK is lookin to replace Gazelles helicopters. They provide support for Batus in Canada. It would be great to see a British Apache replacing it instead of the Lynx. Airbus H135

I didnt see this post until now. I re started the conversation around Used British Apaches -now more than ever they are thinking on retiring the Gazzeles-

I am interested in knowing how do the containers are loaded in the stern -I know there is a crane capable-...I have seen some images that shown with 2 sea containers (20 ft?) and 1 landing craft (ABCO type)...I have read that is capable of storing up to 6...I want to know how are they loaded...

Thanks for sharing...do we have a way to know how many AH Dutch were offering, any News link or Government Announcement from Holland or Canada?

Thanks for that info, it was really interesting. Playing with numbers... 1. We can reduce from 16 to 10…from 560 to 350 2. The cost mentioned is Acquisition not conversion, right? Can be reduce even further 3. We can reduce Spare Parts having an Shared Agreement Cost with US or UK (Consignment...

So...28 AH64D to E cost between 384.4 MMCAD - 1.5 Billion meaning low end 14 MMCAD per Helo converted...so 10 - 16 will cost 140 MMCAD - 250 MMCAD

Also, the British will be soon retiring Gazelles, perhaps replacing them by Lynx Helos...they will prefer "replace" them by CAD Apaches

Good one...No. My assumption is related to creating an agreement for the used former British Hardware ergo they will need something in return and as we all know we don't have enough Loonies...what best that use as a leverage something more valuable that training ground

Another adept to the cause...I really think the cheapest way is for British Army to hand over their used old Apaches (name of the thread), us to upgraded them here (job, Jobs,Jobs)...use them at BATUS (deterrence) improving/creating our inter arms doctrine...leveraging their experience and...

Best thread ever  :rofl:

I think 16 will be sufficient...

You are absolutely right. I thought I have wrote D Block III. AH-64E Guardian (formerly known as AH-64D Block III)

Going back to capability gap and I don't want to quote "We cannot artificially create a need for something that doesn’t exist" phrase, but I see the gap in two aspects: 1. Defense and deterrence. 2. Overseas Projection. Peace keeping. 1. Having them will increase our defense capabilities in...

AH1 advantage is that they can operate on ships...I don't know about cold winter. Reiteratively (Fan...) is that those British second hand Apaches were adapted to operate in UK Navy carriers.

fa·nat·ic fəˈnadik/Submit noun noun: fanatic; plural noun: fanatics a person with an obsessive interest in and enthusiasm for something, especially an activity. "a fitness fanatic" . I thought that Apaches name on the thread was the whole purpose  ;D...and also thought that study after study...
