The aircraft currently in service will be subject to a comprehensive upgrade program, in which Boeing will provide the system\u2019s overall repair, the official added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For his part, Tommy Dunehew, vice president of global sales defense at Boeing, said that \u201cthe Apache is well-regarded in the region, as it is considered a reliable platform and utilized for its ultimate capacity.\u201d He emphasized the Apache\u2019s ability to carry \u201dmultiple systems on board such as the Hellfire missile.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Boeing is showcasing a wide range of its products at this year\u2019s Dubai Airshow, including the UAE Air Force\u2019s AH-64D Apache and Chinook helicopters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A UAE military source also noted the \u201ccurrent negotiations between the two countries on the latest version of the attack helicopter.\u201d He revealed that the Air Force currently operates about 25 to 30 aircraft of this type, stressing its \u201ceffectiveness in battlefield against all types of targets.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cUnfortunately, the Apache is facing a big problem in terms of engine power, which needs to be upgraded in order to suit all types of operations,\u201d the military source added. However, he did praise the Apache\u2019s capabilities \u201cduring night missions where the enemy is unable to monitor it during the late hours of night.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The AH-64 Apache helicopter is equipped with two T-700-GE-701C\/D engines and has a maximum weight of 8,890 kilograms, while its maximum speed is 190 knots and its fuel endurance is two-and-a-half hours.
