The South Korean Army bought thirty six Boeing AH-64E helicopters that included six that were equipped with the Longbow fire control radar. The Longbow provides the ability to detect up to one hundred and twenty eight targets at the same time at distances up to twelve kilometers. The ROK Army equipped two battalions with the new AH-64Es. The AH-64E is meant to replace the ninety ageing ROKA Bell AH-1S Cobra attack helicopter that began service in 1977. The ROK Marines have opted for the KAI (Korea Aerospace Industries) Surion. Designed to meet a US Army requirement for an advanced attack helicopter, the AH-64 was first flown on September 30th, 1975. Called "The Apache," this formidable helicopter replaced the AH-1 Cobra as the principal attack helicopter for the US Army. At the time of its introduction, the Apache was revolutionary, with an innovative helmet mounted display and improved crash survivability. It is heavily armored and has been called a "Flying Tank," not only because of its defenses but also because of its ability to inspire fear on the battlefield. The Apache has become a symbol of Army airpower, serving in both Gulf Wars and in Afghanistan. © Copyright 2003-2024 The Flying Mule, Inc.
