The Spanish attack helicopter programme

Article Abstract:

The Spanish Army's Aviation (FAMET) wants to retire its Bo-105 attack helicopters and deploy a new model, preferably the AH-64D APACHE LONGBOW of the US. However, the country's political relationships in Europe may urge the government to go for the TIGER, made by France and Germany. The Army has already examined the APACHE and the TIGER, using four main categories for study, namely, operational capabilities, logistics, performance and weapons system effectiveness. On performance, the APACHE is considered superior with its bigger load capability. In terms of logistics, however, the TIGER has the upper hand because of its good maintenance standards.
