The Polish Ministry of National Defense signed a contract with the American government for the supply of 96 AH-64E Apache attack helicopters along with a logistics and training package as well as a supply of ammunition and spare parts. Poland will thus become the second largest user of these helicopters in the world, after the United States. Deliveries of the helicopters are to be completed in 2032, and they will be deployed in 3 bases - in Inowrocław, Malbork and Świdnik.

I never expected the full order to go through, regardless of which government was in power. I figured something like 32 would be the number. Wow. Good on the Poles (and Boeing).
