Need some ideas.... suggestions welcome

Mongolia is increasingly worried about China's longing gaze. With larger and larger swaths of farmland being lost to desertization and pollution some Chinese officials are looking at Mongolia's vast amounts of farm land as a possible solution to there problems.  

Mongolia is something of a minor US ally, they sent 175 troops to Iraq (the first time Mongolian troops had set foot in the Mid East since the time of the Khans). And I would imagine that the Apache would be a great deturrent to the Hordes of Chinese tanks, APC's, and AFV's.

MH-64B Sea Apache-USCG

Late as always, but dude, I am diggin' that USCG Apache!!      

That Camuck Sea Apache is nice too.  I know that'd make me think twice about crossing into the Canadian side of Lake Huron.

Nice work, gives me ideas.

This is one that just sorta popped into my head.I've always liked the Boeing "House Colors" and since Boeing took over the Apache program.....

I've added the markings of all current and prospective Longbow customers.Some from new build,others from conversion.Countries are Egypt,Greece,Israel,Japan,Kuwait,Netherlands,Saudi Arabia,South Korea,Singapore,Taiwan,United Arab Emirates,UK,and the US.

*laughs* Looks great!! It'd be a cool diorama to put this one together with my TAV-8B+ Boeing demonstrator as if at an major airshow.

I would imagine that they would also have some jamming equipment to disrupt a shoulder fired SAMs and remotely detonated bombs. They might carry Harm or Sidram for use against active radar threats.

Mexico - back in the mid 90's there was a insurection in the Yucatan, and now it looks increasingly like Mexico might descend into civil war. Which ever side the US gov supports could get Apaches for military aid.

How about some Apaches painted up as aggressors for the OPFOR role? They might wear camoflauge like the Mi-28 Havocs........

[Son of Damian]

Like the Mi-24 Hind that OPFOR uses at the national training center Fort Polk?  

We captured an authentic Crocodile from in the Iraqis during the '91 Gulf War, and it has since been put to use by OPFOR aviation in the aggressor role. I remember seeing it in an episode Wings that use to be shown on the Discovery Channel many years ago. I don't know if it has since been repainted or if they kept the original scheme, but if its still in the original scheme then it looks something like this.

[Iranian F-14A]

I'd thought about the Aggressor thing myself,and came up with this.The Army decided to buy some AH-64B+ Sea Apaches to simulate the Russian KA-50 Werewolf.Surplus "A" models were used to represent the Havoc.

Mongolia



Oh,and New Orleans was going to buy some Apaches for its police Dept,but then decided the money would be better spent on casinos.........I'm kidding....
