Don't hit at all if it is honorably possible to avoid hitting; but never hit soft

العراق يجهز مروحيات "بيل" بمنظومة قاذفة صواريخ متطورة
المدى برس / بغداد
كشفت شركة بيل Bell الاميركية لصناعة طائرات الهليكوبتر Bell IA-407، اليوم الجمعة، عن مباشرة الجيش العراقي باجراءات المصادقة على تثبيت منظومة قاذفة صوارخ متطورة موجهة باليزر طراز APKWS على طائراته السمتية المدرعة من طراز بيل ،IA- 407 لتعزيز قدرتها القتالية بتوجيه ضربات دقيقة.
وقال نائب رئيس شركة بيل لمنطقة الشرق الاوسط وافريقيا ستيف شوتلز في تصريحات تابعتها (المدى برس)، إن "الجيش العراقي باشر باجراءات المصادقة على تثبيت منظومة قاذفة صوارخ متطورة موجهة باليزر طراز APKWS على طائراته السمتية المدرعة من طراز بيل IA- 407 لتعزيز قدرتها القتالية بتوجيه ضربات دقيقة مميتة على اهداف العدو"، مبينا أن "الطائرات بيل الـ24 التي استلمها العراق مزودة بمدفع رشاش عيار 50 ملم و صواريخ جو ارض نوع هايدرا عيار 70 ملم".
وأضاف شوتلز، أن "اضافة منظومة قاذفة الصواريخ APKWS الموجهة بالليزر ذات العيار 70 ملم ستضيف للطائرة قدرة توجيه ضربات دقيقة اكثر وباقل كلفة"، مشيرا الى أن "شركته توصي باستخدام هذه المنظومة على طائرات بيل في معالجة الاهداف التكتيكية اثناء تنفيذ الطلعات الهجومية على العدو" .
وكان الجيش الامريكي اعلن، في ايار من عام 2013، تسليم العراق ثلاثة طائرات من نوع بيل 407 المدرعة طراز IA- 407 ضمن الدفعة الثامنة والاخيرة المتعاقد عليها بين الطرفين، فيما وصف تسليم الطائرات بانه "إنجاز كبير وحيوي" لتجهيز حلفاء الولايات المتحدة.

Re: Armed Bell 407 ARH
It would be nice if they include these systems on the Cessna's. It would make hunting down terrorist car bombs and convoys quite a bit cheaperhayder كتب: ↑الجمعة أكتوبر 28, 2016 12:48 pmAPKWS-II will soon be available on the IA-407s.

Re: Armed Bell 407 ARH
i think the range is too short to be useful on the cessnas.
the hellfires currently are being fired from a slant range over 12-14km from the cessnas because they fly so high. a pretty good stand off range for them. these little rockets can't compete with that.
