Poland Signs Agreement to Buy 96 Boeing Apache Ah-64E Helicopters

Poland has signed a Letter of Offer and Acceptance with the U.S. government for 96 Boeing AH-64E Apache combat helicopters, as part of the Polish KRUK Attack Helicopter program.

This is one the largest single orders for Boeing Apache helicopters to date.

“Poland’s commitment to procure 96 aircraft represents the largest FMS order in the history of Boeing’s Vertical Lift division and will not only make Poland our 19th global Apache customer but the largest operator outside of the United States,” said Kathleen Jolivette, vice president and general manager, Boeing Vertical Lift.

The Government of Poland selected the AH-64E Apache for the Polish Armed Forces’ new attack helicopter fleet in September 2022.

The contract is estimated to be priced at $10 billion-$12 billion.

The LOA comes a week after the Polish Ministry of National Defence announced an offset agreement with Boeing. The agreement includes maintenance and support of the Polish Armed Forces fleet of Apache helicopters by Polish defense industry along with the establishment of training programs and supporting the development of a composite laboratory.
