On KZread, reaction videos have been popular for a long time. What makes for the best reaction video, is when the person reacting has never seen/heard what they're reacting to before. A lot of people in the US and allied countries already know about these things you're excited about, so they're re-experiencing the excitement they had when first learning about the weapons. Basically, living vicariously through you. Have you noticed, that it's always more fun to watch a movie, or listen to music, when you're with someone else? They say, "the more the merrier"....

Back in the 70S, I was part of the design test and certification team for the first AH-64's rotor heads. That model was pretty amazing but they have added a lot more capabilities to it in the 40 years since. So I'm glad your like and appreciate our work. My lead engineer was a Lithuanian immigrant to the US. On jamming radar or infra-red/heat sensors on the aircraft or missiles. Your idea of sending so much noise out that the sensor is blinded is what we call brute force jamming, It works but is not used much today. Instead, the jammers offer a high fidelity simulated target signal that looks a lot like a helicopter in its radar or heat signature but use control of time delays and energy profiles to spoof the sensor into thinking the signal is to the side, above, below or at a shorter range than the real helicopter, so it steers the missile or gun to someplace where the helicopter is not and the bad guys miss (while revealing their location). The Apache can also hide behind trees or hills or buildings in a hover, with only the Longbow sensor head out of cover until it is time to fire. Then it quickly pops up, fires and disappears behind cover again. Apache crews do a lot of training in how to fly below the tree tops or along paths or roads masked by trees or hills. The enemy can't shoot or hear (Apaches are much quieter than typical small helicopters in the hover) what it doesn't see until it is too late.

When I was in high school, we heard a noise outside our math class. My math teacher asked a student to look out the window, and the student goes “Sir, an Apache attack helicopter is landing outside.” Turns out, the pilots were running VERY late in returning to base or something during a routine training flight, and to get around getting chewed out by their superiors, they used a loophole where if they were demonstrating the chopper for educational purposes as a detour, apparently they wouldn’t get in as much trouble. We got to get pretty close to it, those things are MASSIVE. It was awesome.🙂

So, so satisfying. Yeah. Ha.

And the MOAB can’t be dropped by any conventional bomber. It is pushed out the aft cargo doors of a transport/cargo plane.

When it comes to the question of "how much money is worth throwing away on just one KIA?" the simple answer boils down to who that target is and how much damage they can inflict if they are not neutralized. The right "one or two men" on the ground could easily rack up mass casualties under certain circumstances.

My little brother was on deployment in Iraq, and I'll never forget the story he told me about Apaches. He was a FO in the US Army, and always said that the Apache pilots were his favorite to talk to on the radio, because they were "absolutely mental" to him. But to get to the story, his platoon was tracking insurgent caches and enemy fighters, and they tracked them down to a school house. He got the okay to let the Apache pilots rain hell, and that's exactly what they did! He said he's never seen anything like it and probably never will again. A true marvel to the US air superiority!

It is incredibly fun to see these videos through your eyes. I think Americans forget how amazing these things really are.

For a lot of these videos you've asked how aircraft know who they're targeting when firing, and nobody it seems has given you a very clear answer. For Close Air Support (CAS) vehicles like the A-10C Warthog, they use what is called the "9-Line" System. The designated Joint Terminal Attack Controller, or "JTAC", radios the CAS with nine lines of information, 1. the initial point of reference, 2. the heading from the reference point, 3. the distance, 4. the elevation, 5. target description, 6. target location (grid coordinates), 7. marking type, 8. location of friendlies (how they differentiate), 9. Egress (how they should exit the combat zone after the run). Then they have some qualifying remarks after this system is copied down by the CAS. If you'd like to learn more about the A-10C, and how it's actually flown, I strongly recommend looking into a study simulation called DCS World, which can show you how the plane is actually flown.

My grandpa was on the team that designed the Apache. His team designed most of the cockpit’s electrical work. In turn, it saved my butt when I was in the U.S. Army on a few occasions.

I was coming in to comment the same thing about the flir thanks for getting there first you are a civilized scholar!

The unguided rockets are each akin to an artillery shell, and used accordingly. 38 unguided rockets is a pretty big artillery bombardment, and could subdue a fairly large swath of battlefield in short order, with just shrapnel alone, so even without the rate of direct hits as Hellfire missiles would generate.

Wait why is the plague doctor doing here?... Is he developing weaponry also?? What the heck?!

The AH-64 Apache/AH-64D ("Longbow"), and AH-64E ("Guardian") can quietly stalk its enemy prey, pop out from cover, make its attack, and drop back behind cover. The flight helmet has a system that tracks head and eye movement to operate the targeting system. The 30 mm cannon is slaved to this sysyem, moving with the gunners vision to stay constantly on target with where he's looking. Each subsequent iteration adding new technology upgrades and features since the Apache began service. It is the Guardian of our ground troops, keeping them safe from enemy forces in a similar, yet different role from the A-10 Warthog. The Taliban has found the Apache to be so leathal that they gave it the name "Monster." The helecopter you're thinking of in older movies from the 70's or early 80's would be the AH-1 Cobra, not the Apache. Both have a long, narrow fuselage, but the Apache has twin turbine engines, larger winglets with two weapons pilons and is a bit stealthy, whereas, the AH-1 Cobra has the engine and rotor system of the UH-1 Iroquois, small winglet for a weapons system, and a nose mounted 20mm cannon and either a 40mm grenade launcher or another 20mm cannon. It has none of the advanced systems any of the AH-64 variants have.

Crossed the boarder to see an air show in Niagara Fall NY many years ago. WOW! They dropped a car from a UH-1B, B-52, Thunderbirds, Golden Knights. It was a huge recruiting drive with all branches represented, and the beer tents actually had beer flowing across the tarmac because they were filling cups so fast. Wish I could have signed up for the Air Force. True story

My brother is a W4 Apache pilot veteran of Afghanistan with 25 confirmed kills, sooo proud to be his brother.... He said the chain gun has a 12' kill radius per bullet... Amazing!

Hey, I actually work on these currently. These things are awesome! unless you have to fix them. haha. The 30mm is different than the A-10 in that the rounds are a bit shorter. The apache version is about 7 inches long. The apache is loaded manually every time they come back from firing if they are in a war zone or at a gunnery. An experienced crew can reload an apache from empty to flying in about 12 minutes. That includes 8 hellfires, 36 rockets, and depending on the setup between 350 and 1200 30mm rounds. So you know the informative video isn't 100% correct, but it is about 95% correct. I was in Iraq when an apache was shot in one of the engines by an RPG. it moved the engine, transmission, and blew up part of the body and it flew back to its base with no injuries. It is an awesome aircraft. Keep making the great videos brother!

You are truly right about the “ unless you have to fix them” part, I’m an apache mechanic in the Israel air force for 2 years now, and although this machine is built so intelligently sometime it seems like they haven’t put any thought into the maintenance procedures, so this helicopter is a very unfriendly and makes you work in tight spots that can cause intense long term back and bone pains and a lot of frustration.

As an American i think the narrator is talking up the helicopter a little. That is not to say that the Apache is not a killing machine. It is an awesome peace of technology.

"Is there an official number in the U.S. Army to be used to get 1 KIA?" No, there isn't. If there is an enemy who needs to be dead, you use the best tool for the job. The United States annual military budget is 20x Estonia's entire national GDP. (Estonian nominal GDP 2020 est.= $32.7 billion / U.S. Military Budget 2019 = $686.1 billion). A hellfire missile costs $115,000 at current procurement costs. That's not an absurd expense when the numbers are that big... it's a rounding error.

The laser designator for the missiles can be from the Helicopter, a ground unit, or another helicopter. With the Longbow apache it has the capability to designate many targets for numerous Apaches that can then fire from behind a tree line or a ridge etc

Another cool thing, the Apache Longbow is the variant with the radar disk on top of the main rotor. The Apache can hover/fly behind terrain and just expose that radar to the enemy from miles away. The pilots/radar system will identify and assign targets to the Hellfires, which again the Apache can carry 16 of. Then the Apache can launch the Hellfires under a setting where they curve up like a javelin missile and top-attack enemy tanks. So the Apache can basically take a little unnoticeable peak, target 16 enemy main battle tanks simultaneously and fire all 16 of their Hellfires at the same time from behind cover. Just like that an entire enemy tank company can be knocked out, and the Apache is RTB to rearm to hit another one.

The first version of the Apache called AH64A used the laser guided technique to guide the missile to the target, the later AH64D "Longbow" version have radar to lock the target first before firing the missile so it basically "fire and forget" technique

hey Artur Rehi you should check out the AH-1 cobra helicopter, its one of the oldest helicopters in the world to still be in service and its a very powerful attack helicopter (quick note the AH-1 cobra was in the Vietnam war and modern variants are still in use today with the USMC and other armies).

The coolest thin I remember about seeing them in Iraq was watching them do barrel rolls and and different evasive manouvers, little did we know they were doing it becuase we were watching them through various optics which set off their lock on alarms lol. semper fi

If I remember correctly, there is one way to evade a Hellfire missile. The camera in the front is a FLIR (forward looking infra-red) camera, and it measures light emitted in a specific wavelength (like an invisible color) which is reflected when something emits heat. Thus, the missile follows the heat signature of whatever it is fired at. If a vehicle deploys flares, they confuse the missile, and it has a possibility to start trying to follow the flare. The flare is a small projectile which is fired slowly, and burns incredibly hot, thus emitting large amounts of infrared light, making the missile think it is the target. Those are the smoking bullet things you see flying off every plane ever in a movie.

The “laser” is gyroscopic so it can lock on the target and stay steady as the helicopter moves and shutters.

The helmet controlled gun isn't a new thing, it was even a main feature of the Blue Thunder helicopter in a 1983 movie. On the Blue Thunder wiki page it says "The helmet controlled gun turret and Target Aquisition and Designation Sights, Pilot Night Vision System (TADS/PNVS) is similar to that of the AH-64 Apache which uses an 'Integrated Helmet & Display Sight System' (IHADSS) wherein the nose-mounted sensors and the 30mm chain gun are linked to the gunner's helmet."

MOAB or GBU-43 bunker buster bomb. Also, the Apache helicopter was first used, in combat, in Desert Storm. My department director, at the time, was the proud mother of an Apache pilot. He is her youngest son, now in his early 50's.

I would have to say Warthog as far as flying tank goes. Heavily armored cockpit, 1 main massive gun and triple redundant systems.

Apache’s 30mm auto cannon is a nórmela attached cannon, the A-10 warthog got a 30mm auto “Gatling” rotation cannon

The Apache cannon has three barrels and is officially a chain gun, The AC 130 is electrically driven and has five sometimes six barrels

"You're not safe when dealing with America" Damn right.

"Look at this hallway, It's so American. It's got ten Apaches and a giant American flag. And some soldiers it's so Yee! Haw!" 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂

When I showed my uncle (on my dad's side of the family) a clip with Dropkick (the blue decepticon from the bumblebee movie) he started talking about apaches (Dropkick apparently transforms into some kind of apache) and how it has a distinct sound and "when you heard it, you knew the cavalry was here"... and that's the most my uncle Jason has ever said to me about being in the military.... he's actually the member of my family who's said the most, my grandpa, and my cousin ozzie haven't said anything other than that they were in the military, my grandpa was in the air force, that's the only bit of specifics I know....

So the Gau that the A-10 uses is a Vulcan cannon. The rotating, 7 barrel design gives the A-10 a very high rate of fire. The Apache has a chain gun, which is a belt-fed cannon. As you saw, it’s ROF is slower. Think of the two as a mini gun vs a MG3. They may use the same caliber, but due to how they are used - A-10 tends to attack from a higher angle, making more top-down attacks where armor is weaker vs the Apache which is more of a support role. Now the question about Hellfires vs Hydras. Hydras are, of course, unguided. Let’s propose a scenario. An Apache is called in for air support to support some troops hitting a hostile camp. As the Apache is a few KM out, the gunner’s thermal sight spots a hostile MBT of some sort like a T-62. The Apache would use the Hellfires in this case as a long-range AT solution. Now, as the Apache approaches the troops report a hostile LAV of some sort like a BMP. The Apache flys low overhead and directly engages the BMP with Hydras. Then hostile troops appear. The Apache would then use the gun. Hellfires are a very powerful system, but are focused for longer-range engagements. If the heli is over the AO then Hellfires aren’t too useful, but from a bit longer range they are deadly.

Art: Send us some Apache's, we could really use them...AGAINST RUSSIA. Us: We got you fam.
