[edit] Second Batch Of AH-64D Apache Attack Helicopters Comes Equipped With Longbow Radar
Regarding the 2nd batch of AH-64D Apache attack helicopters not being equppied with the Longbow Fire Control Radar System (As Concluded From The RSAF's Aircrafts Table). The fact is that theres no official MINDEF reports on whether the second batch of 12 AH-64D Apache attack helicopter comes equipped with the Longbow Fire Control Radar System, So heres mine Point Of View...
Boeing official designation for the AH-64 Apache attack helicopter is this, "Equipped with radar, the aircraft is known as the AH-64D Apache Longbow. Without radar, it is the AH-64D Apache." (SEE END NOTES NO. 01) and in their offical news release on the second purchase of the AH-64D Apache attack helicopters (SEE END NOTES NO. 02) by the Republic Of Singapore, they termed the AH-64 Apache attack helicopters, "Apache Longbow". Which means that the 12 Apache attack helicopter must be equipped with the Longbow Fire Control Radar System, as defined by them. So mine conclusion is that the other 12 AH-64D Apache Longbow attack helicopters are equipped with the Longbow Fire Control Radar System.
END NOTES
