The AH-64 took part in invasion of Iraq in 2003 during Operation Iraqi Freedom. In one engagement on 24 March 2003, 31 Apaches were damaged, and one Apache was shot down and captured by Iraqi troops near Karbala. The intended attack against an armored brigade of the Iraqi Republican Guard's Medina Division was unsuccessful. The tank crews had set up a "flak trap" amongst terrain and employed their guns to good effect. Iraqi officials claimed a farmer with a Brno rifle shot down the Apache, however the farmer denied involvement. The helicopter came down intact, and both the pilot and co-pilot were captured. The AH-64D was destroyed via air strike the following day. AH-64 Apache (wallpaper 4). AH-64 Apache aircraft images wallpaper gallery 4. AH-64 Apache aircraft pictures collection 4. The U.S. Apaches have been serving in Operation Enduring Freedom in Afghanistan from 2001. American AH-64Ds are flying in Iraq and Afghanistan without the Longbow Fire Control Radar as there are no armored threats to be dealt with. Most Apache helicopters that have taken heavy combat damage have been able to continue their missions and return safely. In 2006, an Apache helicopter was downed by a Soviet-made Strela 2 (SA-7) in Iraq. The Apache is typically able to avoid hits by such missiles; however, in this instance it did not. As of 2009, 12 Apache helicopters were shot down by enemy fire during the Iraq War. AH-64 Apache (wallpaper 4). AH-64 Apache aircraft images wallpaper gallery 4.
