AH-64D Media & information

[0405 Andrew]

With the anticipated release of of the AH-64D, please add links to real world media and docs that will be of interest.
Using these will help 60 sqn employ the AH-64D in a realistic manner and give us a better understanding of this machine so that training and missions can be tailored to suit.

I'll start the ball rolling with an interesting paper on how the AH-64D has been developed and how it has been used successfully and not so successfully.

A very interesting article about how tactics changed after mission failure, from cold War deep strike and how they combined with F/A 18's in the revised tactics.

The Army choppers also coordinated the attack with several F/A-18s and other fixed wing fighters. The fighters guarded the choppers’ flanks, enabling the Apaches to get in close and quickly pass the precise locations of the Iraqi military vehicles and anti-aircraft guns to the fighters overhead.
