Hellfire builds success record in Iraq
Published: Jan. 8, 2008 at 5:57 PM

ORLANDO, Fla., Jan. 8 (UPI) -- Lockheed Martin said Tuesday its
Hellfire missile has logged new records of success in Iraq and
Afghanistan.

"All three missile configurations (of the Hellfire air-to-ground
missile) as well as the fire-and-forget, adverse-weather-capable
millimeter-wave radar Longbow Hellfire -- AGM-114L -- have been used
successfully by U.S. and (British) forces in Iraq and Afghanistan,"
Lockheed Martin said in a statement.

"More than 6,800 rounds have been fired from several platforms,
including the U.S. Army's Apache and the Marine Corps' Cobra attack
helicopters, the Kiowa scout helicopter, the U.S. Air Force's Predator
and Reaper unmanned aerial vehicles and the (British) Army Air Corps'
Apache aircraft," the company said.
