the boeing ah-64 apache is an american twin-turboshaft attack helicopter with a tailwheel-type landing gear arrangement and a tandem cockpit for a crew of two. it features a nose-mounted sensor suite for target acquisition and night vision systems. it is armed with a 30 mm (1.18 in) m230 chain carried between the main landing gear, under the aircraft's forward fuselage, and four hardpoints mounted on stub-wing pylons for carrying armament and stores, typically a mixture of agm-114 hellfire missiles and hydra 70 rocket pods. the ah-64 has significant systems redundancy to improve combat survivability. the ah-64d apache longbow is equipped with a glass cockpit and advanced sensors, the most noticeable of which being the an/apg-78 longbow millimeter-wave fire-control radar (fcr) target acquisition system and the radar frequency interferometer (rfi), housed in a dome located above the main rotor. the radome's raised position enables target detection while the helicopter is behind obstacles (e.g. terrain, trees or buildings). the an/apg-78 is capable of simultaneously tracking up to 128 targets and engaging up to 16 at once; an attack can be initiated within 30 seconds.a radio modem integrated with the sensor suite allows data to be shared with ground units and other apaches, allowing them to fire on targets detected by a single helicopter. here come with qatary air force scheme in a beatiful desert scheme but more schemes are availables.
