AH-64 Apache
Country: United StatesManufacturer: Boeing
The AH-64 Apache is a US twin-engine attack helicopter with a tandem two-person cockpit. The family includes the original A model, the D Longbow and the later E, with different avionics and sensor configurations across production and upgrade standards.
1986 denotes operational introduction, not the earlier production-delivery milestone. Hellfire is a documented fit. The existing FIM-92 page describes a MANPADS, so it is not linked as the separate air-to-air Stinger installation.

Historical profile
The Apache reached US Army operational service in 1986 after earlier production deliveries. McDonnell Douglas and subsequently Boeing continued the programme, with later D and E standards expanding mission systems and connectivity.
