Can anyone tell me what munitions have been cleared for use on the WAH-4D, which version of the Hellfire is to be used for example. Given that they are to be deplyed to Afganistan it would be nice to think that they will be loaded for bear and not all show and no bite.

UK Apache has the following weapons: Hellfire K and L, CRV7 rockets with various warheads and 30mm M230 gun with various types of ammunition. There are no plans to carry Brimstone.
There was an article in AFM a few months that had British Army WAH-64s firing both HEAT and blast/frag/(incendiary?) laser versions of the SALH Hellfire II (presumably AGM-114M) in an exercise in the States.

Does anyone know if these will eventually get Brimstone which I believe is based on the Hellfire ?

I have seen AAC Apaches firing 30mm cannon and CRV7 rockets in trials but I haven’t seen Hellfire in action yet.
