Boeing AH-64E Apache Guardian

Hello, I would like to propose the AH-64E operated by the Indonesian Army Air Forces.
The Indonesian AH-64E is one of the highest performing helicopters in the Southeast Asian region and besides constituting an independent tree in the region, it could also be an option to add to Japan like the F-5E FCU!

History

The AH-64E, also known as the AH-64D Block III, is the newest variant of the AH-64 series and one of the most powerful helicopters in the world.
The AH-64E is a modified version of the AH-64D, which became operational in the U.S. Army in 2013. It is characterized by its improved T-700-GE-701D engine and UAV integration.

Indonesia requested eight AH-64E under the U.S. Foreign Military Sales program in September 2012.
The request resulted in three aircraft arriving at the 11th Squadron in December 2017, with the final eight deployed. The 11th Squadron is an army squadron located in Semarang, Central Java, and operates Bell 412 in addition to the AH-64E.
The possibility of deploying them to the Natuna Islands bordering the South China Sea, which also has problems with China, was mentioned.
