About the AH-64A Apache

The McDonnell Douglas AH-64A Apache entered service with the United States Army in the mid-1980s as a dedicated attack helicopter designed for anti-armour and close air support missions.

Equipped with advanced targeting systems for its time and a powerful 30mm chain gun, the Apache quickly became one of the most effective and widely recognised attack helicopters in the world.

The 1995 production variant represents an important stage in the Apache’s operational history, before later upgraded versions such as the AH-64D introduced improved avionics and battlefield systems.
