Also isn't the reworked Apache coming to an end?
"In October 2016, the Army revealed they would not pursue another Apache upgrade to focus on funding FVL; the Army will continue buying the Apache through the 2020s until Boeing's production line ends in 2026, then FVL is slated to come online in 2030"

In 2016, CS3 was still intended to have an attack variant to supplant the Apache. That disappeared after CS3 morphed into FLRAA.

That said, when FARA is canceled, they will buy more AH-64s
