HUNTSVILLE, Alabama — The U.S. Army’s Apache attack helicopter AH-64 broke new ground by firing 30mm proximity ammunition at drones in air-to-air combat during a December exercise in Yuma, Arizona, according to the service.The live fire test saw Apache pilots engage drones flying on ranges at Yuma Proving Ground using the 30x113mm XM1225 Aviation Proximity Explosive, called APEX.The APEX rounds have proximity fuzes that cause them to detonate when they close in on a target, releasing a wide radius of blast fragments.The 30mm rounds are designed to be fired at targets requiring precision to hit, such as small boats, drones…

The Vietnam War was a pivotal time of change for the U.S. military’s primary rifle. The country moved from big, heavy rifles firing big, heavy bullets to easier-to-carry rifles firing light, fast rounds. Image: U.S. Navy While the…

Beginning in World War I, there was a serious debate over how to arm aircrews. Many pilots carried a sidearm before planes were even armed, and the apocryphal story concerning the beginning of aerial combat, is that the first “dogfight” was with pistols from passing pilots. This then quickly evolved into rifles, rifles with extended magazines, multiple pistols, and then finally (and thankfully) machineguns being usefully mounted on aircraft. As aerial warfare evolved, aircraft were armed with an array of machineguns, cannon, rockets, bombs, and eventually air-to-air missiles. However, all of these armaments generally did the pilot little good if…
