“...AH-64E will deliver a significant enhancement to the UK’s 1st Aviation Brigade. New engines, drivetrain, main rotor blades and avionics will deliver a significant boost in aircraft performance...”
Erre azért kíváncsi vagyok. Ez a szöveg a mezei, 1850 lóerős US Army AH-64D gépekhez képest még igaz lehet, de az AH-64D angol licenszváltozata, a WAH-64D Rolls Royce RTM-322-es 2100 lóerős hajtóműve 100 lóerővel még az AH-64E-nél is erősebb volt. Már húsz évvel ezelőtt is.
Afganisztánban a brit WAH-64D-k gond nélkül elrepkedtek azokon a magasságokon, ahol az amerikai és holland AH-64D-k csak szédelegtek.
Azt lehetséges ugyanakkor, hogy a Guardian esetében nem csak a nettó tengelyteljesítmény a kunszt, hanem a továbbfejlesztett reduktor és a lapátozás is, ami miatt elképzelhető, hogy a hajtásrendszer eredő teljesítménye végül felülmúlja az angol megoldást.
Majd kiderül.

The State Department has made a determination approving a possible Foreign Military Sale to the Government of the Netherlands of AH-64 Pilot Training and Logistics Support and related equipment for an estimated cost of $190 million. The Defense Security Cooperation Agency delivered the required certification notifying Congress of this possible sale today.
The Government of the Netherlands has requested support for the Royal Netherlands Air Force AH-64 training program, to include fuel; base operating support; facilities; publications and technical documentation; pilot training; AH-64D to AH-64E conversion training support; personnel training and training equipment; weapon system and software support; U.S. Government and contractor technical, engineering, and logistics personnel services; and other related elements of logistical and program support. The total overall estimated value is $190 million.
This proposed sale will support the foreign policy and national security of the United States by helping to improve the security of a NATO ally which is an important force for political stability and economic progress in Europe.
The proposed sale will improve the Netherlands’ capability to maintain a set of highly trained and deployment-ready Royal Netherlands Air Force Apache units via continued training activities at Fort Hood, Texas. This training includes the AMERICAN FALCON exercise, which serves as a certifying event for Dutch military units and personnel to deploy abroad, often supporting U.S.-led coalition operations. The Netherlands will have no difficulty absorbing this training and support into its armed forces.
The proposed sale of this equipment and support will not alter the basic military balance in the region.
This proposed sale does not contain any principal contractor. There are no known offset agreements proposed in connection with this potential sale.
Implementation of this proposed sale will not require the assignment of any additional U.S. Government or contractor representatives to the Netherlands.
There will be no adverse impact on U.S. defense readiness as a result of this proposed sale.
