Egypt to buy more Apaches after faced difficulties of Russian-made Ka-52 helicopters
Egypt has decided to buy moreAH-64E Apache attack helicopters after faced with difficulties of Russian-made Ka-52 helicopters.
According
to the U.S. Defense Security Cooperation Agency (DSCA), Government of
Egypt has requested to buy ten AH-64E Apache attack helicopters.
On
27 November the U.S. State Department has made a determination
approving a possible Foreign Military Sale for an estimated cost of $1.0
billion.
Egypt will buy ten AH-64E Apache attack helicopters, twenty-four 1700-GE-701D Engines, spare parts, and other equipment.
Egypt
intends to expand its existing fleet of multi-mission heavy attack
helicopters to address U.S.-Egyptian interest in countering terrorist
activities emanating from the Sinai Peninsula that undermine regional
stability. This sale will contribute to Egypt’s military goal to update
its capability while further enhancing greater interoperability between
Egypt, the U.S., and other allies. Egypt will have no difficulty
absorbing these additional helicopters into its inventory.
According
to a local source, Egypt has decided to buy more AH-64E Apaches after
country’s armed forces faced with technical difficulties of Russian-made
Ka-52 helicopters. Russian-made Ka-52 helicopter problems were mainly
of a technical nature.
New Ka-52 have technical problems with engine installations,
avionics, navigation systems, and night vision systems. At hot-climate
conditions engine of Ka-52 significantly loses its power in different
flight regimes. Also, avionics and navigation systems are untrustworthy
which can give rise to an accident situation.
For today, Egypt has
received at least 12 Russian Ka-52 attack helicopters. The first three
Egyptian Ka-52s were handed over in mid-2017 and used for pilot training
– 30 pilots and 70 technicians underwent training in Russia.
In 2015 Egypt agreed to acquire 46 conventional Ka-52 Alligator helicopters.
En resumen, el Ka-52 parece que se fabricó solamente pensando en climas fríos, en zonas cálidas o desérticas no funciona muy bien que digamos. Según el artículo, esos problemas casi que han provocado accidentes en las aeronaves. Y han recibido hasta ahora 12 de 46, todavía faltan por recibir 34...
A ok bueno como se habla de clima desértico y en efecto el clima en siria es algo mas templado pero es desértico también! pensé que tenia algo que ver con la arena pero leyendo veo que se trata de problemas con las altas temperaturas
Los egipcios,han cancelado el resto de helos rusos ka-52 y han decidido comprar 10 apaches AH-64 E compra que asciende a 1000 millones ,incluye 24 motores y repuestos varios
