This is defencible if you paln to meet massive armoured thrusts, where you need to destroy a lot of tanks fast. The Super (King)Cobra all the way. He has reported from Europe and flown Super Puma and Cougar helicopters with the Swiss Air Force.©Dario Leone and The Aviation Geek Club, 2016. I don't know when the Army put on chaff/flare dispensers on the Apache or if they ever did. A major upgrade of the Bell Super Cobra known as the H-1 programme is underway. The Apache is a maintenance nightmare. An upgraded cockpit configuration … Corollary aside, both are amazing machines and both equally deadly on the receiving end.’‘As a pilot, I would choose the AH-64 over the AH-1 for one tiny reason…. Because of the expense, its just more cost effective to buy a large production run of one type. He has reported from Europe and flown Super Puma and Cougar helicopters with the Swiss Air Force.©Dario Leone and The Aviation Geek Club, 2016. Welcome to The Aviation Geek Club, your new stopover aviation place. So, Apaches. The AH-1Z with its upgrades will still be a generation behind the Apache AH-64D.
You can get things like mast-bumping when the yoke flexes down and makes physical contact with the mast and the occasional taking out the guy in the front pit on hard landings. A major upgrade of the Bell Super Cobra known as the H-1 programme was launched in 1996. His writing has appeared in The National Interest and other news media.
Wheels versus skids. In its newest upgrade, which … Corollary aside, both are amazing machines and both equally deadly on the receiving end.’‘As a pilot, I would choose the AH-64 over the AH-1 for one tiny reason…. All rights reserved. Apache.
But the Corps has always found its more cost effective to upgrade existing weapons systems than to get a new one when it first comes out.
Super cobra 3. Denmark should not buy apache, but cobra. ®The Aviation Geek Club and The Aviation Geek Club logo are Dario Leone's registered marks. Ofcourse the greater weapons variety and the salt protection make it ideal for brown water operations and therefor ideal for the marines. Alex Deva beat me to it; I was going to call this comparing apples to letter-openers. Long live the Snake!!!
Even a .50 with AP munition can spoil the cobra's day A-10 Reason being that choppers could stay with me for long and pick out my enemies one by one. These choppers are pretty bad ass. It does need to be put on new build airframes though. The AH-1 Cobra is a two-blade rotor, single-engine attack helicopter manufactured by Bell Helicopter. Also, wheeled helicopters play much nicer in crowded airfields, especially with lightweight UAS aircraft with respect to rotor wash. Maybe in addition to obsoleteing manned aircraft, combat helios in general may become obsolete. Marines carry the ordinance.

All rights reserved. Cobra and Apaches will do pretty well against a Soviet tank force, but whichever has more armor today against ambushes and rpgs and stuff. All the other answers thus far are good and lay out an excellent case. Brock RE:apache vs. super cobra 11/25/2003 3:01:47 AM. Or can you only afford a Ford GT and use O’Reilly parts to service it yourself? The dome on the Longbow is a millimetric wave-length radar that gives very crisp black and white near photograph quality images coupled to MM Hellfires. All rights reserved. The Apache is a maintenance nightmare. All Cobras except the Z model have a teetering rotor system which has some severe limitations and nasty habits when not handled right. Furthermore de new Cobra has still many mant bugs, with vibration, software and handeling probelems to sort out. (manly logistics) on the battlefield. Skid aircraft have to hover around airports, while wheeled aircraft can just taxi. All rights reserved.
Of course you'll take the Apache. Having that foundation allows these buggy systems to be thoroughly troubleshot and the bugs run out over several decades. Dario Leone, Via Mazzini 45, 27030, Langosco (Pavia), VAT IT 02787650189Cobra Vs Apache: which one is the better attack helicopter? For the single-engine models, see For operators of AH-1G/S and other single-engine variants, see Numerical sequence used by USAAC/USAAF/USAF 1941–present; And alot of those roles those "low cost" attack helios could do, UCAVs can do now. We never had them when I was in while the Marines did. I have faith that a newer airframe is better off then a older airframe, in terms of wear. (it not really on shedule or cost....) I have one issue with the Apache: Supplies.
