Does it take 10 years to send Apache helicopter gunships to the United States during World War II?

Can't be copied! Although the level of military science and technology in the United States advanced by leaps and bounds during World War II, there were several insurmountable technical mountains in the free United States that could not be broken in order to replicate Apache helicopter gunships under the existing technical threshold at that time.

The first is the miniaturization of avionics. We all know that Apache helicopter gunships and other aircraft use semiconductor components, which are similar to computer motherboards. However, during World War II, even ten years later, the electronic components used in 1954 in the United States were still diodes. This leads to the huge volume of electronic components. It is possible to install such electronic components in large-scale equipment of warship level, but it is impossible to install them in small-scale equipment such as helicopters at that time.

The second problem is the engine. Although the prototype of jet engine appeared in the world after 1945, even after 1954 ten years later, the gas turbine that can be used by helicopters was not developed, and even the earliest helicopter in the United States was not developed until the Vietnam War in the 1960s.

Finally, in terms of mounting weapons, we must know that Apache helicopter gunships are very powerful, and they can be guided by various missiles and machine guns, night markets and infrared tracking. However, the American weapon of 1954 has no guidance capability. If unguided weapons can only be installed, such as rockets or fixed machine guns, even if the shape of Apache helicopter gunships is copied, it is impossible to copy one tenth of the real combat effectiveness of Apache helicopter gunships.

You think gas turbines can be built at will? If you can build a gas turbine, why not build a jet engine directly? Why did you import from England after World War II?

As the largest importer of weapons in the world, India originally relied on importing weapons from Russia, but in recent years, India changed its attitude and decided to "abandon Russia and invest in the United States". It has introduced several American-made equipment, one of which, the Apache attack helicopter was imported at a high price!

The goods have arrived.

At present, the United States is delivering Apache helicopter gunships to India. By the beginning of August, two batches of eight Apache helicopters had been delivered to India. At present, they are being assembled and debugged in factories in India and are expected to be officially delivered to the combat troops of the Indian Air Force in September.

As early as 2008, India began to look for a new generation of attack helicopters, and finally chose the American Apache helicopter. Subsequently, in 20 15, the first batch of contracts for 22 helicopters were signed. Due to long-term delay, the procurement model was changed from AH-64D at the time of bidding to AH-64E at the time of signing, with an average unit price of 65 million US dollars. Subsequently, India ordered six more helicopters and signed cooperation with the United States.

Use 124 for transportation.

Apache, also known as AH64 helicopter, has been serving in the US military since 1980s and exported to many countries. It is a heavy attack helicopter with a maximum takeoff weight of 65,438+00 tons. The AH-64E imported from India has been further improved, mainly by replacing the engine with T700-GE-7065,438+0D with higher power to improve the flight performance. Weapons and equipment are still: a 30 mm cannon with four external points, and at most 16 Hellfire anti-tank missiles can be mounted at a time.

In any case, this is an excellent attack helicopter, and India's choice is completely correct. This allows India to rely on the help of the United States to crush the Pakistani railway with strength. On the one hand, India's armed helicopter fleet has been strengthened due to Apache's joining, and on the other hand, Pakistan's military weapons supply has been in trouble because the United States blocked Pakistan's material supply.

Delivery ceremony

Under the current situation, the Indian army's strength in installing Apache has greatly increased, but Pakistan's direct introduction of military equipment has encountered obstacles, but Pakistan has not shown any concern. Why not hurry?

The real longbow Apache is like this.

When did Pakistan say it was afraid of India? Just because India has added an advanced equipment, Pakistan will be scared. This is a joke. A * * * has only 22 planes, and the number is limited. It will take quite a long time to form combat effectiveness.

Theoretically, the performance is advanced, but the actual situation is very problematic. AH-64E should be equipped with "longbow" millimeter wave radar. However, the longbow radar was not installed in the photos of delivery and flight test, and its performance was obviously discounted.

Indian airframe production line

The United States has taken action to prevent Pakistan from acquiring new attack helicopters, but Pakistan still has the conditions to acquire new attack helicopters. Whether looking for Russia or purchasing from us, it is expected to get a cheaper attack helicopter with quite good performance. India will never take advantage of any technology. In a word, Batie has not reached the point where it is cornered, so there is no need to worry too much now.

I can't. The reason is the same as that we can't copy Alibok, and the machining accuracy can't be achieved. If we insist on doing it, it is also a tiger dog.

Yes, after all, America is a global refuge.

Why not send it back to China during the reign of Emperor Taizong?

As soon as I look at this question, I feel that I have been eaten all night.
