Re: Israeli AH-64's with Spike
I've been keeping up with SPIKE for a long time now, it's not a SPIKE. Saraf and hopefully my old friend gingertanker will forgive me if I screw this up, is the IAF designation for their AH-64D LONGBOW the name means " FIERY SNAKE" appropriately enough.
Currently it can carry the SPIKE ER/LR (Very soon LR II, just completed operational tests.) and NLOS (2014) versions of the missile.
