The role of attack helicopters in modern warfare
Article Abstract:
Attack helicopters provides battle commanders a tool for delivering surprise and shock effect to the enemy. This is because attack helicopters can be more readily deployed than any other weapon system in dealing with an armored attack. Attack helicopters become even more lethal when equipped with advanced sensors, more potent weapons and improved survivability. New communications systems allow these platforms to pass on battlefield information to other platforms, thereby resulting in a more coordinated and efficient attack over long ranges.
