The Government of Poland has selected Boeing’s
AH-64 Apache for its Kruk Attack Helicopter program.
Boeing delivered the first U.S. Army Apache AH-64A
in January 1984. Today, there are currently more
than 1,200 AH-64 Apache aircraft in operation accumulating over 4
million flight hours, 1.3 million of which have been in combat.
Not only does the AH-64 Apache represent the
backbone of the U.S. Army attack helicopter fleet, Boeing’s global
customers for the highly respected attack helicopter include
Egypt, Greece, India, Indonesia, Israel, Japan, Korea, Kuwait,
Netherlands, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, United Arab Emirates,
United Kingdom and now Poland.

“Boeing is honored the Government of Poland has
selected the AH-64E Apache for the Polish Armed Forces’ new attack
helicopter fleet,” said a Boeing spokesperson. “An Apache
selection strengthens U.S-Polish military ties by enhancing
interoperability and cooperation between Poland, the U.S. Army and
NATO nations. During the procurement process, Boeing established
significant cooperative partnerships across Polish government and
industry. Our partnership with the Polish Armaments Group in
particular will continue to expand as we implement training and
sustainment efforts with local industry.”
The AH-64E Version 6 is the most modern
configuration of the Apache and is ready for the MDO battlefield.
A network-centric, fully integrated weapon system specifically
built to dominate in highly contested and complex battle space,
the Version 6 Apache includes multiple enhancements to the
aircraft’s sensors, software and weapons performance.
With the AH-64E in production until at least 2028,
the Apache will serve the U.S. Army and partner nations as the
world’s primary attack helicopter into the 2060s.
