“Well, Apaches do not necassarily need enemies to fall down, they have managed to perform numerous crashes w/o foreign help, as well. This all was followed by widely published problems with WAH-64D tail rotor while firing Hellifires… The type has a pretty bad name on the world markets.”
well name one military ac type that has never had examples crash before.
crashes and melfunctions falls under the ‘sh!t happens’ catagoury, and the general rules is that the more complext a system, the more things that may go wrong with it, and the more things that does go wrong with it.
apaches may have crashed, but then apaches have came home with damage that would have brought down most if not all other attack helo types.
the main criticism with the apache is not about it crashing, but about how outragously they costs.
