So, basically folks a 20,000 to 30,000 dollar drone wrecked a 35 million to 50 million dollar American military helicopter. This war cannot be won at all with losses like this. Either we use cheaper Shahed type technology or Trump is going to bankrupt the U.S. completely.
begin quotes:
The overall cost depends heavily on several factors:
- The Airframe: The latest variant, the Boeing AH-64 Apache, represents advanced sensor dominance and concentrated firepower, driving the cost up from older models.
- Full Procurement Packages: International military contracts and Foreign Military Sales (FMS) often include sophisticated maintenance infrastructure, the Longbow radar system, Hellfire missiles, and technical support teams, which routinely drive package deals toward $100 million per unit.
- Operational Costs: Once deployed, these helicopters are resource-heavy, costing approximately $10,000 per flight hour to maintain in active combat readiness.
If you are looking at specific figures for a particular fleet or deal, let me know:
- Are you interested in international sale packages (e.g., European or Middle Eastern contracts)?
- Do you want to compare operating costs with other military aircraft?
Let me know how you'd like to narrow down the information.
