Game over for helicopters? South Korea just scrapped $2.2 billion US Apache choppers — reason will shock you

South Korea AH-64 Apache cancellation signals a big shift in modern military thinking. The $2.2 billion deal to buy 36 new Apache helicopters was scrapped after rising costs and growing battlefield risks, especially from drones and air defense systems. Lawmakers now say future wars need smarter, unmanned weapons—not legacy platforms. South Korea will focus instead on AI drones and one-way attack systems that reflect changing warfare needs. With even the U.S. Army watching closely, this decision might hint at a bigger global military trend.
