Occupation reallocates Apache squadrons amid helicopter shortage
The Israeli occupation forces have launched a process to redistribute combat Apache helicopters as part of the Air Force's 2026 plan, following a significant shortage of helicopters due to previous reliance on drones and their high costs. Currently, groups of helicopters are being moved from bases in the south and north, with only two squadrons of combat helicopters, which is far below the announced need for three squadrons. The shortage is attributed to budget constraints and the adoption of economic policies, but after the October 7th attack, the Air Force reconsidered the necessity of bolstering its helicopter stocks and is currently studying the purchase of new helicopters from the United States, with costs to be spread over the coming years. Nevertheless, the total number of helicopters remains below what is required, with a mix of old and new helicopters in the squadrons.
