The AH-64E Guardian — known in NATO parlance as the Apache Guardian — integrates the AN/APG-78 Longbow fire-control radar, improved drivetrain, and modernized sensor suite that Boeing developed for export customers and the U. S. The Dassault Mirage 2000 entered French service in 1984 as a lightweight delta-wing successor to the Mirage III, evolving into a multi-role platform exported to nine air forces.
