In late 2009 or early 2010 the RSLF introduced Sikorsky S-333 light training helicopters but their location remains unknown. Nineteen have been ordered. The S-70A-1 Black Hawk helicopters will be modified from the UH-60A model configuration to the more modern UH-60L aircraft configuration. Ten remaining Boeing AH-64A Apache helicopters from the original batch of twelve will be modernized to AH-64D Block III Apache Longbow standard. A further 24 new built Boeing AH-64D Block III Apache Longbow helicopters will join the RSLF.
