I dont know why shes painted grey like that, but damn is it sexy.
Is it just a protective coat for moving them overseas or is this an IAF paint scheme?
You have missed a detail here. The Gaurdian has data links as such a single Longbow radar equipped Apache can beam its data to its unequiped siblings. They can use the Longbow birds like scouts.
In the high hot of the Hindu Kush even Apache helicopters get winded not deploying longbow radars saves some energy for the lift capacity of the helicopter.
Little known fact the AH1Z Vipers that have been sitting in the US boneyards for Pakistan also can mount longbow radars. It’s just they use a wing tip station as opposed to the mast.
USMC and army pilots operate in a very different manner.Because the tactics you can pull off with a top-mounted Longbow are much more effective.
Don't they already had an AMCA program 15 years ago that just died with 0 progress? How is this going to be any different? Also 11 years from now means they need a prototype already at least, especially with the Indian speed of development.TEJAS..... part 2 ???

Wonder if it's going to be 100% foreign critical parts or 99%.
