NATO has been left stunned after the United States executed one of the largest attack helicopter deployments in recent history.

An estimated 150 AH-64E Apache helicopters have surged into forward positions in a rapid, high-intensity military move that immediately changed strategic calculations across the alliance.

This is not a routine rotation or scheduled exercise. Military analysts describe the deployment as a compressed force-projection event designed to demonstrate speed, readiness, and overwhelming battlefield dominance. The AH-64E Apache is one of the deadliest platforms in modern warfare, built to destroy armored formations, collapse supply lines, and dominate contested terrain. At this scale, the impact is transformational.

That is the equivalent of 3 Combat Aviation Brigades (IIRC). Thing is, Apaches will always have a logistical “tail” - i.e. ground crew, headquarters, administrative people, etc. There would also be other support aircraft such as Blackhawks for support missions.

“Bongino Rule” applies here, I think.
