AH-64 Apache attack helicopter is one bad ass
piece of war material that would really be an asset in any country.
Its parent company Boeing just announced that
they are looking for two additional operators of AH-64 Apache attack helicopter.
It announced that that one of the two
potential operator or customer is in the “Pacific Region.” This was according
to the report by Jane’s quoting Terry Jamison, Director, Vertical Lift International
Sales of Boeing.

“We expect the current 16 global operators of
the Apache to go up to 18 in the next 12 months as we look to add two new users
to the community that we like to call Team Apache. These two countries are
totally new to the Apache – they are not existing customers looking to upgrade
to the AH-64E,” Jamison said as quoted by Jane’s in an interview May 5.
However, Jamison clarified that the potential
operator from the Paific region is not the Philippines.
Jane’s said country’s like Australia and
Bangladesh are known to be considering Apache.
Philippines case
Recently it was reported that the Philippines
was given the green signal by the United States State Department to purchase
either the AH-1Z Viper or AH-64E Apache for Philippine Air Force (PAF)’s attack
helicopter acquisition project.
Department of National Defense Secretary
Delfin Lorenzana already said the PAF already chose the Turkish Aerospace
Industries (TAI) T129 ATAK attack helicopter for the said acquisition
project.
Lorenzana said the Notice of Award was already
released, but the actual contract is yet to be signed.
