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.

"With the AH-64E in production until at least 2028, the Apache will serve the U.S. Army and its partner nations as the world’s primary attack helicopter into the 2060s," said Boeing.

- In 2020, amid pandemic challenges, deliveries fell to 19 new Apaches and 52 remanufactured ones. Total military aircraft and satellite deliveries stood at 154.
