The U.S. Army is cutting Apache units and thousands of aviation jobs as it pivots toward drones and “manned-unmanned teaming.” But does that mean attack helicopters are becoming obsolete, or just changing roles?
In this video, we break down what’s driving the Apache cuts, what the Army thinks will replace that capability, and what the war in Ukraine is actually teaching militaries about helicopters, drones, air defenses, and survivability. We also look at the Army’s post-FARA plans, autonomous helicopter concepts like the U-Hawk, and why the Apache may still have a future, just not the one it was built for.
