A Boeing AH-64 Apache attack helicopter of the United Arab Emirates Air Force crashed in the Yemeni province of al-Jawf on October 17.
The two pilots aboard – Major Ali al-Mismari and First Lieutenant Badr al-Murshedah – died in the incident.
The attack helicopter was involved in the Saudi-led military campaign in the war-torn country.
According to the UAE’s official WAM news agency, the AH-64 Apache crashed as a result of a technical failure.

These morons cant do anything right. But hey they pay well for our hardware.
over priced hardware! US doctrine…. “over promise and under deliver”, “overprice and under perform”. The French make far better attack helicopters! So too the Russians!
Deal with it!
Either AH-64 is junk (Israelis Apaches, huh?) or Yemenis have good aims. Maybe both, good either way. A human death is not something to celebrate, but the pilots were tools of oppression, I’m sure very few shed tears for their death. 1 less death machine and 2 less death mercenaries will benefit the world.
What crashed? F16? Or a helicopther? By both articles tney have the same names of pilots.
By now attack helicopters is very vulnerable to ground ATGM and high caliber machine guns increasingly common in the region.
Nice, 2 less hospital bombers!
Who cares? They shouldn’t be there killing people that have done nothing to them, they can all die! GOOD RIDIANCE MOTHER F__KERS!
