TThe Hellfire
was developed with one thing in mind, to kill tanks. And they do
it extremely well. Although developed years earlier, they did not
gain much notoriety until they were equipped ion the AH-64 Series
attach helicopters, most notably the Longbow Apache (AH-64D). The
hellfire is carried in external racks of one, two, three or four
and possess a TV and Infrared camera for guidance. The guidance
system allows it to lock onto targets before launch, or they can
self-determine targets from and internal database of enemy assets.
Either way, its a guaranteed one-shot-one-kill anti-armor missile.
