Child of the Vietnam war, raised to fight (and die) against Soviet hordes, unloved and abandoned during adolescence, and finally came back to life as a glorious towelhead blaster.
What a chaotic and romantic story. Happy BRRRTday bastard!

Extremely outdated and has no place on a modern battlefield.

Pretty sure AGM-65s and GBUs are the main standard of ground ordinance and have all the place they need on the battlefield

>Fragile

>>33924358
Yes anon, it's extremely fragile to SAMs. You know, the actual threat.

>>33924415
Isn't it mostly used in a support role. ie: after the sams have been taken out and we gave air superiority

>>33924121
So..... AH-64s shouldn't be used to clear SAM threats like they did in 1991?

Come on guys. She's old. The F-35 can get to the battle faster, stay longer, go deeper, find the enemy faster, and drop a maverick on their head much faster.
