Poland Buys 96 Apache Helicopters From US
In August 2023, the US approved the sale of 96 AH-64E Apaches and related equipment to Poland for about USD 12 billion
Poland on Tuesday signed a contract with the US to buy 96 AH-64E Apache attack helicopters as it bolsters its armed forces following Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
Under the deal with the US government announced by Defence Minister Wladyslaw Kosiniak-Kamysz, the helicopters will provide new combat capabilities in terms of target engagement and reconnaissance, and will replace Poland's post-Soviet Mi-24 helicopters.
In August 2023, the US approved the sale of 96 AH-64E Apaches and related equipment to Poland for about USD 12 billion.
The deal provides a logistics package, including equipment for helicopter maintenance, airport and hangar equipment and technical support, a training package, and ammunition and spare parts.
Earlier this month, Poland's defence ministry signed offset deals with Boeing and General Electric worth nearly USD 255 million to compensate for the Apache deal.
