AH-64E deliveries continue

Following a hiatus in the delivery tempo, three more brand new Apache AH-64E Guardians arrived in the UK for the Army Air Corps on 24th July 2024. The previous delivery had been in November 2023, and this new batch (ZM738, ZM739, ZM740) was airlifted from Phoenix, Arizona to RAF Mildenhall, Suffolk by USAF C-5M Galaxy 87-0030 under the callsign of Reach 2095.

Over the next few days these new helicopters will be prepared for a road move by AAC engineers, then roaded to the UKs Apache Main Operating Base at Wattisham in Suffolk, where they will then be introduced into service.

This latest delivery leaves just 9 AH-64Es to be delivered to the AAC, to complete the 50 aircraft order.
