Historical Overview of the AH-64D Block II

The AH-64D Block II Apache Longbow is an upgraded version of the American AH-64 Apache attack helicopter, manufactured by Boeing since 1996 for the U.S. Army and other countries. This helicopter was used, among others, during operations in Iraq and Afghanistan, and thanks to its advanced electronics and weaponry (such as Hellfire missiles), it is one of the most effective battlefield support tools in modern conflicts.
