A fleet of British Army and Royal Air Force helicopters, including the new upgraded Apache model, will be taking on an important role in the next step of NATO's largest exercise since the Cold War. Nine new Apache AH-64E attack helicopters will be making their first appearance on exercise, along with four Army Wildcats and two RAF Chinooks in Finland and Estonia for Exercises Swift Response and Arrow respectively. "It really is about trying to scale up, to show what we're capable of projecting and delivering into Eastern Europe as part of what we offer to defense," said 4 Regiment Army Air Corps Battlegroup Commander, Lieutenant Colonel Dave Lambert.
