The Apache in Iraq???

Good point here steve33. I don't think we should ever judge the success or failure of military equipment without looking to see if it has been used in a tactically sensible way. The Apache, IMO, is a fine helicopter (I wish Australia had some) but it should be used, IMO, in conjunction with other assets and used tactically in the roles for which it was designed.

Yes, I think that they should be learning from the Russians in Afghanistan. the army has to change the way these helicopter are used - increase in altitude, higher speed etc, maybe even add some extra armor in the field.
