In 2022, the British Army began operating the AH-64E Apache Guardian, an upgraded version of the Apache AH-64. The AH-64E offers enhanced capabilities over the earlier models, including improved avionics, longer-range radar, and advanced targeting systems, making it highly effective in both combat and reconnaissance roles. The British Army's transition to the AH-64E marked a significant step in modernizing its attack helicopter fleet. The aircraft is capable of engaging a variety of ground targets, providing close air support, and performing tactical reconnaissance. Its increased operational flexibility supports the Army's modern defense and strategic capabilities. Designed to meet a US Army requirement for an advanced attack helicopter, the AH-64 was first flown on September 30th, 1975. Called "The Apache," this formidable helicopter replaced the AH-1 Cobra as the principal attack helicopter for the US Army. At the time of its introduction, the Apache was revolutionary, with an innovative helmet mounted display and improved crash survivability. It is heavily armored and has been called a "Flying Tank," not only because of its defenses but also because of its ability to inspire fear on the battlefield. The Apache has become a symbol of Army airpower, serving in both Gulf Wars and in Afghanistan. © Copyright 2003-2025 The Flying Mule, Inc.
