AH-64E Selected for KRUK Attack Helo Program in Large, 96-Aircraft Sale
While the Apache may seem a bit long in the tooth to some, the platform still has a lot to offer given Boeing's sale of 96 brand-new AH-64E aircraft. The number was a surprise to many, expected to be at most 32 helicopters, enough to outfit 2 squadrons. Instead, Deputy Prime Minister Mariusz B?aszczak announced the purchase of 96 AH-564E helicopters, enough to fully outfit 6 squadrons. That's only the most recent in a string of arms orders made in recent memory as the country continues a nearly $15 billion shopping spree on everything from artillery, tanks, and fighters to attack helicopters.
