boeing pushes CH-47F Chinook and the AH-64E Apache Guardian helicopters to the Philippine Government, American aircraft manufacturer Boeing, reeling from its biggest crisis over its 737 Max planes, is making a pitch for some of its most advanced military aircraft to the Philippine government.
David Brostrom, marketing and sales director for vertical lift of Boeing Indo-Pacific, said at a media roundtable on Wednesday (Dec. 18) that it was offering to the Philippine military two of its most reliable and high-tech helicopters—the Apache AH-64E and Chinook CH-47F.
The two choppers, he said, are known for their capability and interoperability advantages.
“The biggest advantage — who would not want this?” said Brostrom.
“Its interoperability with all your partners, not just with the United States, look at all the people flying it in Asia. Why wouldnt you want to have this capability to help your own people?” he said.
Boeing boasts of the Apache AH-64E as the most advanced, multi-mission attack helicopter of the US military, and at least 15 other armed forces in the world.
The Apache, a daunting piece of military hardware, has a maximum cruise speed of over 284 kilometers per hour, and can be armed with 16 Hellfire missiles, 30 mm auto cannon, and 2.75 inch rockets.
As an added pitch, Brostrom said the Apache would be ideal for maritime operations in the West Philippine Sea, where the Philippines is disputing territory with China,
a military power in Asia.
