Shift in Priorities for Israel Defense Forces Amid Multi-Front Wars

Israel has announced plans to purchase 30 new AH-64E Apache attack helicopters worth an estimated $3.8 billion. The decision comes after lessons learned from recent multi-front wars, Breaking Defense reports. Analysts suggest the move is part of a broader effort to bolster Israel’s airpower and address logistical challenges posed by aging aircraft. The Israeli military has been practicing with the Apache since the 1980s and acquired its first helicopters in 1990.
