The U.S. Army announces a thorough transformation and resignation from acquiring AH-64D, South Korea completely waives the acquisition of fresh Ah-64E Apache helicopters. Meanwhile, Poland not only does not retreat from this costly technology, but... it has just signed a leasing agreement for the AH-64D version. At a time erstwhile modern conflicts win drones, Poland becomes the largest user of Apaches in Europe. Is it a strategical investment or a decision against military trends?
