Boeing to build 96 AH-64E Apache helicopters for Poland

Boeing (BA) will produce AH-64E Apache attack helicopters for international customers, including 96 for the Polish Armed Forces, under a Foreign Military Sales contract awarded by the U.S. Army valued at nearly $4.7B. Poland’s order represents the largest number of Apache aircraft ordered outside of the U.S. in the program’s history. With deliveries expected to begin in 2028, the Polish Ministry of National Defence is already training pilots and maintainers on the attack helicopter. The MND currently leases eight aircraft from the U.S. Army. In recent months, Boeing has delivered new Apaches to customers around the world, including the Australian Army, Indian Army and Royal Moroccan Air Force. Poland is the 19th global operator. There are currently more than 1,300 Apaches operating worldwide.
