The MH-60R contract will include a 13th aircraft to replace one that was lost in 2021. All will be based at HMAS Albatross.

Boeing says it welcomes Australia’s decision as the AH-64E Apache provides Australia with a low-risk, fully-integrated, battle-proven capability.

It added that the AH-64E will be delivered from 2025 with an initial operating capability in late 2026.
