DSA 2018: Indonesia receives final Apache Guardians
The Indonesian Army received its five remaining AH-64E Apache Guardian helicopters on 29 March. Photos of the arrival and unloading of the helicopters from a cargo ship at Tanjung Emas Semarang port in Java were posted the same day on the Indonesia Army’s Squadron 11/Attack official Instagram account.
The first three Apaches were delivered last December via a USAF C-17 transport aircraft. Based on the timeline of that trio, which were assembled and flown within a week of arrival, it is expected that the five newest helicopters will also be ready within a similar timeframe.
