On August 3rd this year, the Ministry of National Defense of Poland signed an agreement with the United States government for the purchase of 96 AH-64E Apache helicopters. The acquisition is being made through the Foreign Military Sales (FMS) purchase procedure along with the application of an offset aimed at the Polish defense industry, particularly companies within the Polish Armaments Group (PGZ).

In this program, the offset providers are American companies The Boeing Company, Lockheed Martin, and General Electric. Following the negotiated agreements, these companies will transfer technologies to two aviation companies within the PGZ domain. The next step will involve the signing of execution contracts that these American companies will sign with the companies of the PGZ Capital Group.

The Military Aviation Works No. 1 S.A. in Łódź will establish a Support Center for the Operation of AH-64E Apache Helicopters for the Polish Armed Forces. This center will have the capability to conduct maintenance at level O (Organizational), I (Intermediate), and D (Depot) for selected helicopter components; perform repairs and renovations of selected platform elements; and handle specialized helicopter equipment (e.g., radar, targeting systems). A Center for the Operation of T700/CT7 family engines, which equip the AH-64E Apache helicopters, will be established at the Military Aviation Works No. 1 S.A., Branch in Dęblin. The workshop will have the capability to conduct maintenance, repairs, and renovations of the engine. Helicopters equipped with T700/CT7 family engines also include other helicopters in service with the Polish Armed Forces (e.g., AW101, AW149, Black Hawk).

Another company from the PGZ Capital Group involved in this process is the Military Central Bureau of Construction and Technology S.A. in Warsaw. The equipment produced by WCBKT S.A. for ground handling of aircraft will be tested and certified by the manufacturer for compatibility with AH-64E Apache helicopters. The certificate obtained from the manufacturer will enable the use of locally produced equipment in the operation process of AH-64E Apache helicopters by the Polish Armed Forces.
