APKWS used in urban warfare szenario
I have a question, and I hope that some readers don’t take it political.
Could this weapon sucessfull against terrorists?
For example, an Apache or a UAV flying over a urban city, firing such a rocket with a knetic/low blast warhead against a RPG sniper, would eliminate the target and minimise collateral damage.
In the July issue of the german magazine “Flug-Revue” the Author writes in an article about the boeing AH-64D Apache Longbow:
“We are always thinking about new technologies that could help us, for example, to detect car bombs or control a rebellious mob with non-lethal weapons,” said Hugh M. Dimmery, responsible for international marketing, in an interview with FLUG REVUE.

This weapon system would also suit the IDF/AF on their new 18 AH-64D-I ‘s.
