Boeing, one of the largest aerospace defense contractors, produces the Army's iconic AH-64 Apache attack helicopter. While the Apache has been touted as a tank buster, its future role as a close air support platform in a peer-on-peer conflict is being called into question due to survivability concerns on the frontline. However, it appears the Army has developed a new doctrine for it to conduct deep raids into the enemy's vulnerable rear, ensuring it remains an important platform for the Army and popular on the export market even with emerging threats.

Boeing's AH-64 Apache deliveries over recent years are as follows:

- In 2019, Boeing delivered 37 new Apaches and 74 remanufactured Apaches. This year was marked as the final 'normal' year before pandemic-related supply chain disruptions. Additionally, Boeing delivered its final C-17 Globemaster III strategic transport airlifter, bringing total military aircraft and satellite deliveries to 231.
