Description

The AH-64D Longbow is an upgraded version of the American AH-64 Apache combat helicopter. Featuring advanced sensors, uprated engines, ‘tactical internet’ communications capabilities for sharing target information, and most noticeably the AN/APG-78 Longbow fire-control radar in a dome above the main rotor.

Manned by a crew of 2, the AH-64D is armed with a belly mounted 30 mm M230 chain gun along with a mixture of AGM-114 Hellfire missiles and Hydra 70 rocket pods, mounted on four hardpoints mounted on stub-wing pylons.
