Battle Chopper - the AH-64 Apache vs. Soviet Hind

it is not as sleek as a fighter jet nor as Swift as a rocket and yet it has revolutionized warfare in the 20th century the attack helicopter a predator of steel from the plains of Europe to the jungles of Southeast Asia this terrible bird of prey has redefined the shape of combat and turned the battlefield into a hunting ground its talons are sharp but when it strikes it strikes to kill [Music] January 16 1991 nightfall on the desert sands [Music] along the hills and valleys of southern Iraq a steady thud pierces the darkening sky flying low along the ground they appear of formation of eh 64 Apache helicopters with night-vision systems engaged the dark becomes life the contours of the land turned shades of green and the mission begins these are the opening minutes of Operation Desert Storm stealth f-117 fighters are next on deck but before the full air campaign can start a whole must be punched into the Iraqi defense a hole large enough for the wave of stealth to squeeze through to create that whole critical Iraqi communication and air defense centers must be destroyed it's a perilous assignment and tonight the job belongs to the Apaches it is not a time for nerves everyone's energy must be on the mission you want to keep your ears open you want to keep your eyes open and especially if you can closer closer to the enemy territory you really want to be focused outside the helicopters move into attack formation the weapons officer appears through his night-vision scope rocky ground troops are still some three miles away unable to see or hear the Apaches hovering no more than fifty feet off the ground the helicopters are invisible to radar the Iraqis have no clue what is coming next and then the order is given fire [Music] now the Apaches move in for the kill 30 millimeter cannon straight the sands in just 15 minutes the attack is over not one Apache has been lost and Iraqi defenses have been blown apart now the stealth fighters raced through the hole and the air war begins in earnest and it's all due to the work of the Apaches helicopters were the unsung heroes of the war with Iraq they were rarely seen on TV but it was in fact the Apaches that began Apaches that fired the opening salvo of this high-tech conflict fast rugged and remarkably agile the Apache represents a lethal strike force 17,000 pounds of speed and power above all it is durable independent it needs no landing strip few support facilities the Apache hunts alone and it is singularly well-equipped for the job jet fighters fly so fast they often get only one quick glance at a target this is not true of the Apache these choppers can stalk their prey waiting patiently like a tiger for the perfect moment then they spring forward to launch the attack it was more than 400 years ago that the helicopter was first dreamed up in the sketchbooks of Leonardo da Vinci but who could have foreseen its evolution into a high-tech metallic predator us helicopters first went into combat in World War two in Korea they were used primarily as airborne cargo haulers and ambulances their role expanded during the next major conflict Vietnam with its thick vegetation and poor roads Vietnam demanded a new approach to shuttling troops into combat a new vehicle that will change the face of battle the legendary uh-1 huey like the cavalry of yesteryear the united states army could move their soldiers swiftly over vast distances using the Huey's transport [Music] but the helicopters were not heavily armored a Huey could be brought down from the sky with just small arms fire in fact so many were shot down the army was never able to provide an accurate count of exactly how many were lost [Music] so the army added two door Gunners to lay down a wall of fire as the humans came in for landings but that was only the beginning as the war progressed the u.s. was able to turn their whirlybirds from prey to predator from transport ship to attack force by adding machine guns and rocket pods to the Huey the US military could stock the Vietcong with a potent array of firepower while the country's vegetation provided effective cover against fast flying jets it offered much less protection from this new force hovering in the sky in the following years the US would push the chopper one step further developing the first helicopter to be used strictly for attack the h1 Cobra armed with a deadly combination of unguided rockets and machine guns the Cobra entered combat in 1967 it quickly became one of the most ferocious forces in the sky with the end of the Vietnam War in the early 70s the United States focused once again on the threat posed by the Soviet Union the Soviets had a master formidable war machine the mensen threatening one fear was the possibility of Europe being overrun by Soviet tanks a massive assault of Soviet armoured divisions the US and its NATO allies did not have the tanks it would need to counter this threat an ambush of attack helicopters the tank killers with the addition of guided munitions like the tow missile the Cobra was now capable of destroying tanks from much farther away conditions were changing while the copra was a capable attack helicopter it lacked the horsepower to carry the full range of ordnance that was being developed and as defensive surface-to-air missiles became more sophisticated a helicopter would need the agility to fly low to the ground to avoid them [Music] in the mid-seventies the army initiated a program to develop a replacement for the effective yet limited Cobra it would be unlike anything that had ever been seen before [Music] as a threat of a Soviet invasion loomed over Europe during the height of the Cold War NATO feared they lacked the tanks to counter such an assault only one weapon gave NATO the power and the mobility to establish a line of defense the attack helicopter but as weapons like guided missiles became more advanced the helicopter would also have to become more advanced as well a new breed of chopper was born to take advantage of this technology this machine was the ah-64 Apache when it entered service in 1986 the ah-64 Alfa Apache was the most sophisticated attack helicopter ever designed even today 10 years after its introduction it remains the ultimate aircraft of its kind swift and powerful the Apache flies at over 150 miles an hour [Music] with its high-tech electronics this machine can attack day or night and strike with absolute precision of course helicopters lack the armor of a tank but the Apache is well equipped to attack armored forces with limited risk the answer lies not in its firepower but in the defensive characteristics of its design the Apaches cat-like agility makes it much harder to target and hit to avoid heat-seeking missiles Apaches emit a low heat signature and additional counter measures are in place above the fuselage sits the AL Q 144 or disco ball the disco ball sends out a powerful infrared signal around the Apache which will confuse heat-seeking surface-to-air missiles as an extra measure flares can be released from the dispenser on the side of the aircraft's tail onboard radar jammers and chat dispensers help the Apache elude the threat of radar guided missiles [Music] in addition the crew compartment of the ah-64 is like a steel bowl impenetrable to small arms fire for both survivability and power these battle choppers are outfitted with two engines in case either one should be knocked out what defensive skills are only a last resort for the Apache is built to attack by stealth an efficient predator the Apache will silently move into position and wait then strike its stunned prey with a sudden onslaught although the Apache sounded good on paper there was still one big concern how would it perform under fire it's first true test would come on the desert sands in the Gulf War of 1991 On February 24th the ground war began as troops from the hundred and first Airborne arrived to launch the initial push into Iraq and choppers were part of the strategy to fake his attention away from the attacking units Apache pilots Chief Warrant officers David Sanger and Rob our Loon let a crucial decoy mission to ensure the hundred and first success the plan was for 2nd Armored Division first calf to appear like they're going to attack up the middle it's similar to a football play you fake up the middle everybody slants in on the defensive side to block the run and while they were doing that all the other combined-arms teams did the end around sweep and start maneuvering from their 6 o'clock positions that they were looking at us while they were getting shot at from behind the Apaches would lead the charge of the mill spearheading the attack of the 2nd armored and first cavalry division's all to draw the fire of the Iraqis and distract them from the other forces on their flanks it was a dangerous position for the chopper pilots our mission was to go past the defensive lines of the Iraqi army has set up mainly trenches that had the oil burning in him making choke points so our tanks and Bradley fighting vehicles not get through and a nice wide passage but through a narrow patches and there's a choke point it's also a ambush point so our mission was to go through and basically clear out a safe zone so that those vehicles can get through and get established into our defensive perimeter on the other side of the defensive bill the Iraqis though were well dug in their position was strong Sanger and barloon hoped that all their training in the US would allow them to hit the enemy with complete surprise for months they have been working on the Apaches most remarkable skill its stealth Apaches can sneak up on an opponent by skimming the ground flying along the nav of the earth or noe flying no higher than twenty to fifty feet above the ground the Apaches remain well below the scope of enemy radar [Music] Apache pilots call it masking the choppers can't be spotted until it's too late in addition to being unseen it's also important to be unheard older Huey's and Cobras had just two blades which gave them their distinctive sound the Apache is quiet and deadly it has four specially configured rotor blades to lessen noise yet for all its quiet when Sanger and Varley rode the Apache into battle on that February 24th luck was against them they weren't in the hills and valleys of the US they were in a wide-open desert and it wasn't long until the Apaches were detected the Iraqis were ready the enemy at that time had laser rangefinders and they ranged us pretty accurately for their mortar fire and so they called in their mortars for a big conglomerate or a big area but we were all inside of it as far as all the aircraft when we got there the Iraqis were convinced that this was the big push so they had started feeding everything they had forward the Apaches found themselves in the middle of a firefight the pilots would have to control their aircraft even under a vicious attack from Iraq's Republican Guard fortunately they had one key ally a highly sophisticated device called I hads the integrated helmet and display sighting system it consists of a display eyepiece attached to each helmet the I hads also helps battle chopper pilots process multiple pieces of flight and target information no matter where the pilots head turns the display follows most important to Sanger at that intense moment of battle the I hads gave him the ability to aim the 30 millimeter cannon this helmet is actually part of the armament of the aircraft as the helmet looks right and left and down and up it actually can be used to drive the gun mount underneath the aircraft so it has to come to site with this the backseater can use his helmet and the gun for immediate suppression any kind of threat appears around the aircraft by sleeping the gun to the system crucial life-saving seconds are gained in the rapid fire pace of battle besides the gun the I hads is also attached to the pilot night-vision system which houses a sensitive infrared camera there's also what we use to fly at night to guide our optics at night so we can use the infrared energy as far as when we're zipping around with no moonlight it's not a problem because we're using the infrared but for all the high-tech gear on that day in the Gulf Sanger and barloon soon found themselves in trouble the desert was exploding all around them the key to survival would be teamwork [Music] it's the backseater who flies the aircraft the front cedar who aims the weapons the back cedar does have the immediate mission of security around the helicopter the front seat he's looking at a TV screen about this big he's looking about five kilometers downrange so his whole orientation is looking that far off the aircraft so it's really important in the back seat pilot not be looking or he's looking but looking around the immediate vicinity for that one person the one vehicle he can drive up right next to you and take a shot at you and not have both pilots oriented five kilometers away from where they actually act as the battle raged on in the go the Apaches were taking heavy mortar fire and the fate of sanger barloon and the entire Apache squadron hung in the balance on the sands of Iraq Operation Desert Storm showed no signs of letting up as the Apaches went head-to-head with the Republican Guard the rest of the master plan was working in the east the Marines were landing on the beaches of Kuwait and in the West the hundred and first was leading a successful and run but up the middle sänger barloon in their group of Apaches were confronting the fight of their lives we followed mr. Sanger's crew the next day we knew that they had gotten tangled up in the fight the night before I heard a big boom over here and mortars Jetstar the land around us and to hear a boom through a helicopter is a nerve-wracking experience because you're so used to not hear anything but your engine noise it's all sight The Sands blowing up and smokes flying and the radio chatter starts getting really intense as I turn right I can feel the buckle of some of the disturbed air and some sand coming down around the aircraft at that point we knew that we were in that kills them and they had a good beat on us you start looking around for a place to go because you're sitting in one spot for a while now so we had to turn and start zigzagging and be unpredictable and get to a area that wasn't so identifiable but the missiles were already flying my wingman yelled samms our third missile as I looked at my left door it already gone by at that moment in time I knew someone had seen me someone has shot mortars at me some way at the same time I shot a search there a missile at me and all I'd missed [Music] [Applause] all the while as Sanger and barloon were steering their choppers through the heat of the battle there are front Cedars the Gunners we're trying to take out the dangerous targets on the ground ahead I got speed was of the essence the Gunners needed to lock on to their targets and get their shots off rapidly they turn to another high-tech support system the target acquisition designation site or Tad's a sighting system that's a favorite of pilots the tags down below does two rolls it helps the co-pilot see the guy in the front seat he uses it as a thermal night vision system but also it has a daytime camera and the day TV they call it and a laser as well so not only can he fly with it on his head watch what's going outside you can move in like a joystick on a video game and he can zoom right in on the target has several fields of view and lays that target get arranged to the target get a grid location and retargeting three missiles in on targets whatever the laser from the dad's places an electronic dot on the target the Hellfire missile has a sophisticated seeker head which will home in on the dots reflective energy to devastating effect on that February day the Apaches high-tech dealer would finally proved too much for Hussein's Republican Guard time and again the choppers had blasted the Iraqis [Music] [Music] but as Sangha Rinna's Apaches turn to head home they had no idea how many of their team had survived the county commander came in the rodeo and said who's still with us at that point in time I didn't know how many people weren't checking that as fate would have it we all checked in and so at the end of that day in the Iraqi desert sanger barloon and their group had taken on the elite Republican Guard and defeated them without a single casualty the Apaches had proven themselves in the fire of combat in the coming days of Desert Storm the choppers would chalk up still more surprising winds as Chief Warrant Officer Mark riddle recalls a reconnaissance mission and we were coming back down to an MSR we had had idea that was maybe a platoon sized element there and when we got there we found a lot of people moving around and then they started to go for weapons and then we started about 1,500 meters away letting off with a cannon and then that's pretty much skirted ones and they surrendered shortly thereafter they started pulling stuff out it was a battalion infantry ammunition bunkers vehicles the whole works we destroyed most of the vehicles and ammunition before the day was everyone never before had a helicopter taken prisoners during combat I didn't know what they do I'm like where we supposed to do with prisoners I mean our vehicles were semi kilometer still inside the u.s. blinds in Saudi Arabia so a lot of coordination in try to bring Blackhawks up and MPs up from Division they try to get the POWs out of there was a logistics nightmare actually although the Apache was never intended to capture prisoners of war in a way mark riddles experience foretold the future of the chopper in the years following Desert Storm commanders found that they could use attack helicopters for much more than just killing tanks Apache pilots would have to train for a whole new series of challenges that they would face in the post Cold War era since Operation Desert Storm the American military has been involved in peacekeeping operations from Haiti to the former Yugoslavia there have also been rescue operations in Sierra Leone and Liberia as the military's role has expanded so has the role of the Apache captain Paulino was attending West Point during Desert Storm while a cadet he would never have guessed the missions he would have to fly as an Apache pilot last year I spent a month down in Laredo Texas and we had 24 patchi's down there assisting the Border Patrol of just policing up the Rio Grande and checking for any illegal traffickers at across no River to Texas this operation was officially known as Joint Task Force six the Apaches mission was not to apprehend suspects instead captain Dino and his group patrolled the Mexican border using their night vision to keep an eye on suspected drug roots and within days their patrol had a significant effect hatch is a pretty intimidating aircraft and just our presence being there I think shut him down for several days and that whole month long time they started seeing a lot more busts in other areas as a drug traffickers are moving in through different different untested routes as we'd pretty much stopped them across the river on the other side of the world the same characteristics of the Apache would prove very useful for peacekeeping operations in the battered country of Bosnia since the Bosnian Peace Accord u.s. peacekeepers have helped maintain the region's delicate balance it's a far cry from attacking tanks on the battlefield but in some ways for Apache pilots peacekeeping missions are even more challenging assignments today Apaches hover over the Bosnian countryside riding shotgun for transport helicopters and working reconnaissance with new technology known as Oda Telesis the photo calluses that is being developed works really well it allows a picture from the aircraft to be digitally sent over the radio right down to a command and control area for analysis by a lot of other officers that are looking for for that kind of detail live pictures coming in with the information provided by Apaches and photo Telesis UN forces should be aware of trouble in time to take the right precautions in a dangerous land the Apaches must stand ready to guard UN peacekeepers if they find themselves under fire the helicopters are tasked to respond to any threat mobilizing rapidly to provide effective air support in Bosnia pilots have a delicate job every day they must proceed cautiously to keep the peace yet at any second they must be ready for a fast-paced all-out gun battle in a high-intensity conflict a pilot's training takes over working automatically he follows a battle plan setting out to find the enemy and destroy him but peacekeeping missions like the one in Bosnia are much more intricate flying over urban centers or surveying the countryside pilots cannot afford to be on autopilot because there is no set battle plan they must constantly weigh judge and analyze each situation one mistake by one person might be enough to shatter the peace you can't just punch off some rounds and then ask questions later we're in the role now finding out what we're looking at buying out what equipment is out there and who owns it and is that friendly or is that foe the pilots up has to make those decisions now is what he's seeing out there Chief Warrant Officer barloon arrived in Bosnia during Christmas of 1995 his unit was the first group of Apache helicopters in the country and they were responsible for patrolling the area between Muslim and Serbian forces barloon had been in Wars before but this was different you flew there fully armed ready to shoot at a moment's notice as almost as if you're going on a force-on-force mission except this was a force on and more of a deterrent mission is the big the big hammer going in to make sure nobody wants to fight anymore if you send in the big street guerilla everybody backs off a little bit and that's kind of what this was all about but the shear ambiguity of peacekeeping operations created a far more frightening environment for barloon than he had ever anticipated the first mission into Bosnia where you didn't know exactly how thorough the ceasefire was among the warring factions there you flying over heavily armed troops have been seasoned fighters for the last four years who have a significant attitude towards each other and now here we show up so first first couple flights in Bosnia were very scary and some today's Apache pilots find themselves in the middle of these missions not war but just as dangerous in all the while they still have to be in training for a full-scale combat prepared for a high-intensity fight you always got maintained that edge for when something comes up the world is not a nice place the world is not as peaceful as we would like it to be so we never know when the next Iraq is gonna appear so as we do those operations for other than a war we always maintain that combat readiness don't were called upon again to go out and do our duty and if US forces do find themselves in an all-out conflict there's a good chance their enemy will have significantly better hardware than ever before with the collapse of the Soviet Union and the resulting financial crisis in Russia many third world nations have been able to upgrade their military with Russian equipment at bargain prices one of the most dangerous pieces of equipment is another attack helicopter one that's been shrouded in darkness for years it's a mysterious machine information about it has been closely guarded only recently has it come to light but America's troops must be prepared for one day they may face it on the battlefield [Music] looming just over the horizon on today's battlefield is an awesome machine US forces may soon find themselves in its sights in Russia its name is garbage The Hunchback the West calls it the mi-24 hind even after it was first spotted in 1972 the hind was a mystery to Western intelligence its appearance was fearsome yet no one had any hard evidence about its capabilities but in the past decades more than 2100 of these helicopters have been exported to some 30 countries since the hind is now being sold on the global market information about it has finally become available and the information is scary [Music] it is one of the fastest helicopters in the world capable of reaching speeds in excess of 210 miles an hour it has a wingspan almost as large as some Jets and it weighs over 28,000 pounds one and a half times heavier than the Apache [Applause] the hind was actually believed to have been developed in the late 1960s about the same time the United States introduced the ah-1 cobra into the war in Vietnam but the Soviets took a radically different approach to a helicopter design instead of creating a choppers strictly for attack the Soviets developed a multi-role machine from the beginning the hind could do many things it had the ability both to deliver troops to the battlefield and to protect them with its huge supply of weapons the hind carried a larger Arsenal than any other attack helicopter it could even drop bombs to this day it remains the only helicopter to do so although the hind and the Apache are both battle choppers they're distinct physical characteristics have led to a fundamental difference a difference in how they fight the hi first went to war in 1981 in the Soviet battle with Afghanistan early in the war hind pilots tried to attack Mujahideen troops with a low and stealthy map of the earth approach but the hind proved too heavy not maneuverable enough to attack like an Apache in Afghanistan hind pilots were crashing into the ground as they tried to creep along the battlefield pilots came to realize that this machine handles more like a fixed-wing plane than a helicopter so they learn to use other features to their advantage features like speed and size unlike its American counterpart the hind has to come in fast moving in for the kill between 100 and 150 miles an hour when the hind attacks it's pilots aren't interested in masking with its speed it's gruesome looks it's wicked sound and devastating weapons load the hind relies on intimidation rather than stealth by the end of the war with Afghanistan it was the one machine that Mujahideen feared most they called it the devil's chariot the hind proved to be one of the Soviets few successes in Afghanistan it is a machine that US forces have prepared to confront for some time in fact it was rumored that versions of behind were developed to destroy American attack helicopters the troops of the 1st cavalry take this rumor seriously and as they prepare to relieve the current peacekeepers in the Balkans the question is more than academic in this arena there's always the chance that US troops may actually have to face the vicious hive but now for the first time the pilots of the cab will have a new weapon in their hands a brand new version of the Apache it may well be the most advanced battle chopper ever design in the years following the Apaches success in Operation Desert Storm this fearsome helicopter has been transformed into an even more effective battle chopper the aah 64 delta Apache Longbow the longbow has been rebuilt from older airframes and recast as the attack helicopter for the 21st century a worthy adversary for the high [Music] there doesn't appear to be much of a difference between the longbow and the earlier a model of magic but looks can be deceiving in the Apaches case it's once under the skin that counts for this is a digital chopper a high-tech electronic predator the frame is wider to hold greater amounts of wiring and equipment this new Apaches cockpit has also been fully digitized the crew members will now receive their information from two multifunction displays called MFDs instead of the older analog gauges and the longbow will carry an updated set of weapons better suited for the fast-paced digital battlefield the new longbow also has room for the addition of stinger missile pods that can be attached to the side of its wings to fire a threats from the air the best defense is still an effective offense tomorrow's battles will probably be fought at a faster pace than the battles of Desert Storm with improvements in technology equipment will move faster information will travel faster and weapons will fire faster than ever before the development of the longbow is an attempt to stay ahead of this trend but the pilots who fly these high-tech machines must now bear a tremendous burden [Music] I'm a digital battlefield flying is just a small part of being an Apache pilot in fact most crews now feel that flying is the easiest part it's amazing how much information how it's got a building management information it's got to be able to sift through it and report back that which she deems is important because as you see in the cockpit of the longbow you have a couple multifunction displays buttons all around them and you got to be a great system manager and you got to be a good pilot Apache pilots must be able to hit their targets quickly despite the information overload but there's one feature that helps to ease the strain the feature pilots consider the single biggest improvement in the new Apache the fire control radar probably the most obvious difference between Alfa model Apache now the new longbow is a radar dome there at our domes mount on top of the mast and allows the aircraft to remain below a tree line and to hide the aircraft body while the radar sits up on this fire control radar dome above the longbows rotor blades has radically improved the Apaches capabilities each dome cost three million dollars but now the Apache can scan 360 degrees for aerial threats [Music] and for ground targets they can scan 270 degrees day or night in any weather [Music] within a longbow battalion of 24 no more than eight will carry these expensive domes but that's all they'll need with one sweep you can identify 256 targets a matter of seconds and relay that information down to the pilots in the aircraft and they have the capability of sending that information down to the rear or to other aircraft in their flight and in the US army units not all aircraft will be equipped with a radar dome but they all have the same capabilities so if one radar dome aircraft is able to sense a bunch of targets you dataverse that to the other aircraft and they can start servicing those targets as the Apaches capabilities continue to expand and global politics continues to change the Army's battle choppers will have a larger and even more important role on the battlefield of the future the fact that we no longer going out in the deliberate or deep attack going out after the independent tank battalion like we used to train to do to fight the Soviet forces in the folded out scenario now it's a lot of security at type of operations we're doing a lot of reconnaissance missions where in the past we're pretty much dedicated for the big anti-armor fight so we're we're transitioning into that being able to fight the anti-armor fight one day and then the next day out there screening for a ground brigades movement into a hostile area of course even with the changes of patchy pilots are facing they are clear where the real priority lives our actual mission is always fourth on force the your stealthy night attack aircraft that's primarily what it's designed to do and that's primarily how its integrated into the combat plan as they prepare for the conflicts of tomorrow longbow pilots have studied the battles that Sanger and barloon faced in Desert Storm and learned some important lessons in the coming years they intend to approach the battlefield differently the goal to fire at an enemy without even being spotted that's the way chopper pilots are training right now to capitalize on the stealth and long-range power of the long-haul here's what a future confrontation might look like looming below the tree line the long bow with the dome Bob's up just high enough to paint the Apaches targets the dome longbow shares its target information with other Apaches as they creep closer into a better firing position they are staked out below the trees well out of sight of the enemy [Music] and then the Apaches unleash their deadly Hellfire missiles one mana bow can now do the job of 10 a model Apaches before the Apache gunner had to keep the laser death dot on the target until it was destroyed which meant staying exposed until the explosion today the Hellfire is guided by radar the pilots can fire and move on and with the longbow they can fire again and again up to 16 Hellfire missiles dispatched within seconds all at different targets today it only takes a handful of apache longbows to wipe out an entire armored brigade within a few minutes the longbow is fast becoming one of the deadliest forces on the battlefield like its namesake it's giving the army the ability to attack faster more accurately from farther away once again a battle chopper may change the way the army goes to war for rarely do helicopters go head-to-head in combat even adversaries like the hind and the longbow their true prey will always inhabit the ground and they're down among the treetops the attack helicopter has added a vicious element to ground warfare mobile and heavily armed it can defeat any armored unit it encounters making it the most powerful and versatile weapon in a ground commanders hands loaded with the latest in digital technology the battle chopper will continue to be a major force well into the 21st century stalking the battlefield of the future of prey with claws of Steel
