Not in the least surprised its the Boeing/AAC's perceived most likely
scenario. Just got to add the bean counters into that equation.
I'm
still betting 18 at the very best.
To be fair, both Boeing and the army are more than aware that this is all dependent on the beancounters, and both acknowledge that the UK will not be getting 67 new AH-64Es.
18 sounds about right to me also.
