  2. No, the war in Ukraine is highlight Russia's KA-52 and Mi-28 short comings Thanks Iraq and Afghan, US Apaches and Cobra are equipped with more stand off capabilities Russian KA-52s and Mi-28 lack stand off capabilities as seen in their video they do more running and gunning then precision strike hence their massive losses One of the newer features of the AH-64E is that is receive real time video from UAVs allowing UAVs to scout all and locate threats The US Army is in process of upgrading the Longbow radar so they can use the SPIKE NLOS to max effect The NLOS can strike targets up 20 miles away. This is interim measure till JAGM increment II/III is available The JAGM III variant is supposed to be the longest range variant similar to the Brimstone II/III

  3.  @cerperalpurpose  That would be incorrect While the US has operated them since 2004, operationally they have considerably lower flight hours than US Apaches From 2006 to April 2014, British Apache helicopters flew 50,000 hours in Afghanistan A single US Army Apache unit flew 11,000 hours in 2014 In 2023 , the US Army hit 5 mil flight hours for its Apache So no, the UK Apache a lot of life left
