U.S. Apache helicopters land in Latvia to reinforce NATO's Baltic defence

The Sun

U.S. Apache helicopters land in Latvia to reinforce NATO's Baltic defence as Russia strikes Ukraine igniting war. The arrival of the choppers was first announced last week, when it was billed as a participation to the bi-annual international U.S.-led exercise Saber Strike. But on Thursday the Lithuanian defence minister was describing them as part of U.S. military reinforcements to the Baltic region after the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Some forty U.S. service members arrived in Latvia from Italy earlier on Thursday, the first group of what is expected to be a deployment of more than 300 troops, the Latvian Defence Ministry said.

China is trying to balance the United States’ hegemony in the global defence market and World geopolitics. The United States is the world’s biggest manufacturer of defence goods, dominating the international marketplace, but this is continuously challenged by China, which regards the United States as its principal competitor.

China is also attempting to enter the international defence industry by manufacturing reasonably priced defence products that it hopes to sell to countries whose governments cannot buy state-of-the-art goods from the United States or Europe. The world was taken aback by the United States’ flawless ability to combat air-to-surface and air-to-air battles with the Apache AH-64 attack helicopter.

Red Color: What is This Missile on Israeli AH-64 Apache? - Technology Org

Red Color: What is This Missile on Israeli AH-64 Apache? - Technology Org

Typically, a Hellfire guided missile has a yellow band to indicate that the projectile contains an explosive warhead. But now, the Israel Defense Forces demonstrated similar rockets marked with a red band instead of yellow.

Israeli military operations against Hamas militants have been ongoing for a month. The Israel Defense Forces has previously discreetly released numerous photos and videos of its forces. This time, a photo has now been released of an AH-64D Apache with an AGM-114 Hellfire laser-guided missile marked with a peculiar red band.

This particular photo of a Hellfire missile with a red band was recently posted online. The pictured AH-64D Apache has 4 missiles in total, but one of them has a red stripe to distinguish it from the others, which are marked in conventional yellow color. The latter is the typical color of American rockets and indicates that there are explosive materials inside. But the red stripe is “more mysterious”, the journalists write.

Amid increased online discussions regarding the potential meaning of the red-banded Hellfire, the Israeli Air Force discreetly removed the image. In its place, a very similar photo was posted, depicting a different AH-64D lifting off with equipped conventional Hellfires.

Notably, the newly displayed missile had two yellow stripes, differing from the more common three stripes.

What could the red band on a Hellfire missile mean?

The red band on the Hellfire missile may indicate an AGM-114N warhead. The missile itself is designed to destroy closed targets. A thermobaric warhead is better suited for defeating enemy targets hidden within caves, bunkers, or tunnel networks.

The principle of operation of a thermobaric warhead is based on the use of oxygen in the surrounding air, which creates a much more powerful explosive wave. Also, higher temperatures deal more damage to the target.

The authors believe that the thermobaric warhead could be very useful for the Israel Defense Forces fighting against tunnels in the Gaza Strip. A thermobaric warhead can destroy more adversaries hiding in a tunnel than a conventional warhead.

Another version of the missile with a red stripe is the AGM-114M with a high-explosive warhead. It is more suitable for destroying lightly armored targets, small boats, or poorly protected bunkers. However, it is possible that Israel has a special version of the Hellfire missile in its arsenal, too.
