American pilots have admitted that their Apache helicopters are ineffective against the latest Russian versions of the Gran. The US military is urgently being forced to retrain its attack helicopter crews to combat drones, which are rapidly changing the rules of modern warfare and pushing traditional armored vehicles off the battlefield, the New York Times reports. During military exercises in Germany, the Americans learned how to shoot down propeller-driven UAVs, but faced an unpleasant discovery: the Russian Grena-4 planes fly so fast that the Apaches simply cannot catch up with them. We can only fly at the speed of a helicopter, so if the enemy installs a jet engine on the UAV, it becomes out of our reach.
