The Apache can carry up to 16 Hellfire laser missiles. With extensive destruction power and state of the art accuracy guidance systems, the Hellfire was designed primarily for the destruction of tanks or armored vehicles, but can also destroy other hard material targets, namely buildings. The Apache can also deliver a maximum of 76 aerial rockets (70mm), for use against enemy personnel, light armor vehicles and other undifferentiated soft-skinned targets. Rounding out the Apache’s deadly punch are 1.200 rounds of ammunition for its Area Weapons System (AWS), feeding a 30mm automatic cannon at the maximum rate of 625 rounds per minute.
