Taipei, Nov. 9 (CNA) The United States is expected to complete the production of 30 Apache AH-64D helicopters ordered by Taiwan by the end of 2013 and to deliver them all to Taiwan by the third quarter of the following year, the Ministry of National Defense (MND) announced Tuesday.
The U.S. Department of Defense announced earlier that same day that the Boeing Company acquired the contract Oct. 29 to produce the Apache Longbows.
The MND said the sale agreement was signed by the government of former U.S. President George W. Bush in 2008 in a deal that also includes a full-size simulation AH-64D for maintenance, repair and training purposes, it noted. (By Emmanuelle Tzeng and Elizabeth Hsu) ENDITEM/J
