Australian Army Takes to the Skies with Modernized Apache Fleet

The Australian Army has begun flying operations with its new AH-64E Apache attack helicopters, marking a significant milestone in the introduction of the aircraft. The helicopters will operate from RAAF Base Townsville and replace the Eurocopter Tigers, with deliveries starting in September 2025. The Australian Government Department of Defence has stated that the AH-64E will generate, sustain, and deploy a stronger and more resilient helicopter capability. This development was first reported by AeroTime.
