Boeing to deliver AH-64E Apache Helicopters to three allied countries:
27 December 2019: The US Army and Boeing have finalised orders from three nations to offer their armed forces with the new, more capable AH-64E Apache model. The contracts received are for the remanufacture of 47 existing AH-64D Apaches. The total combined worth of the orders is over $560 million.
"More allied defense forces worldwide are selecting the AH-64E Apache because they know it provides the most advanced technology and capability to keep their nations safe and secure today and well into the future," said Kathleen Jolivette, vice president of Attack Helicopter Programs. "The Apache continues to be the most proven and reliable attack helicopter on the battlefield today."
Currently, sixteen countries field the Apache. AH-64 Apaches have flown 4.6 million flight hours, including over one million flight hours in combat.
The delivery of the remanufactured aircraft will begin in the early 2020s.
