The lesson these days is "buy our kit, buy our update path". The US Army has been given lots of money to upgrade its Apaches, with the result that the AH-64D Block Is are already close to being inducted into the AH-64E remanufacturing program. Block II will hang around much longer and I think most of the exports are Block II. But the UK aircraft are pretty young to be facing obsolescence.
