However two key words popped up which came to mind such as "replace" and Tiger.
Go back to my sweet and innocent days of academia, there was a guy in my UOTC unit I knew who passed his then RCB back in 96 and the chat we had casually turned to my favorite matters of the heart. When mentioning the previous years selection of the WAH-64D, he reckoned (unsubstantiated) that politics go, that as interim measure the Longbow would be used and then replaced with the Tiger eventually. Jurassic Park seemed more realistic :P
(funnily enough so did the USAF Captain in the Pentagon thought so in Tom Clancy's novel Debt of Honor when told that the new Japanese regime had invaded Guam by the retired USCG Master Chief living on there)
Then again we could go back into an argument of AH-64 versus Tiger argument as according to said press report "Military sources said that the Tiger would be strongly opposed by British commanders, who regard it is inferior to the Apache."
@Graham, the Block III upgrade to the existing AH-64D is the new 'E'
Cheers
