Apache was deservedly named the most commonly used helicopter in the world. Very few of its “iron brothers” could compete with the military glory of this formidable “chopper”!
The AH-64 Apache is a highly capable attack helicopter that has been in service for several decades. It is possible that discussions and plans for a potential replacement or upgrade for the Apache are underway, considering the need to modernize and maintain the effectiveness of military aircraft.
As of April 2020, over 2,400 of these steel giants have been manufactured.
The first production model of Apache rolled out in 1983, and since then has proven itself with over a dozen variants.
The latest one, AH-64E Apache Guardian, gave these helicopters a “second life”, taking it to a whole new level!
