Israeli helicopters

An Israeli Air Force Apache helicopter lands across from a Greek mountain range during a joint Israel-Greece exercise with the Hellenic Air Force. These types of exercises are a central aspect of the Israel-Greece military cooperation.
Its unique abilities and precision weapons have led the Israel Air Force to use the Cobra helicopter to fight wars and hit targets during military operations. A difficult target for enemy fire, the Cobra is primarily used as an attack helicopter. Manufactured in the US, Israel has used the Cobra since the 1970's.

  1. I'm rather surprised the idf doesn't fly longbows, I would of thought they would have the more updated Apache.

  2. ya know you're right. i'm gonna have to ask Jonathan about that.

    i know they could afford them...i wonder if they just don't fit with tactics or home grown weapons?

  3. The Israeli's have some D's. IMHO, they'd have more except the Obamanator Crew is in tight with the Israel-Haters and held out on them for a while. After the holdout, the Israeli's decided they didn't want to spend the money but are looking at ways to increase the AH-64A lethality with smarter weapons.
