Saudi Arabia's helicopter used against Houthis
The spokesperson for the Saudi-led coalition in Yemen published a photo of American Apache helicopters and announced that they will join the fight against the Houthis after claiming they shot down a Saudi Apache helicopter near the Yemeni border. In reality, the coalition confirmed that the helicopter that crashed was an "AH-6i" belonging to the Ministry of National Guard, which was destroyed due to a technical malfunction within the kingdom, resulting in the death of two officers. The Apache helicopters (AH-64) are among the most prominent American attack helicopters, characterized by their ability to target vehicles and military sites, with a speed exceeding 279 km/h. They are equipped with Hellfire missiles and 30mm cannons, along with advanced targeting and vision systems. Saudi Arabia has been acquiring them since the Gulf War in 1990, expanding its programs to purchase and develop these helicopters through deals with the United States, worth hundreds of millions of dollars.
