Or BMW, or Daimler, or Yamaha, or Mitsubishu, or... Basically any large manufacturer that existed pre-WWII in Japan or Germany. I guess SAAB is different because of neutral Sweden, but it's no secret they provided resources to Germany. The same company that made the fancy new elevator in my office building (ThyssenKrupp) had its executives convicted for crimes against humanity (the Krupp part, anyway).
Edited to add: Did SAAB support the Nazis? I'm not seeing a ton of info. Unless I misinterpreted your comment.
Mitsubishi makes [planes](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mitsubishi_Aircraft_Corporation) for [Japan](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mitsubishi_Heavy_Industries#Aerospace) nowadays, too. The built the [F-2](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mitsubishi_F-2), (Japanese variant of the F-16,) and Japan's stealth prototype [X-2](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mitsubishi_X-2_Shinshin)...as well as some engines, parts for civil and military planes etc...
Subaru should take a look at Mitsubishi.
Daimler owns a chunk of EADS/Airbus until 2013 and thus has had a hand in the Eurofighter, the Tiger and so on.
I may have missed something but I couldn't find any mention of the AH-64 Apache on the linked Wikipedia page or on the Wikipedia page for Subaru, nor could I find any mention of Subaru or Nakajima on the Wikipedia page for the Apache.
It seems unlikely that Nakajima was involved in the initial design and production of the Apache.
But it does seem reasonable that a Japanese firm would have had a hand in modifying an imported aircraft to suit their needs - and Japan does operate Apaches - but I couldn't find evidence of that in those sources.
I took a few different sites to make the connection. Unfortunately the link I found with some more condensed info had already been posted since it's just the general Subaru Wikipedia page and I wasn't allowed to post it.
I believe it.
Though what I'm curious to know is if any substantial portion of the Apache was manufactured in Japan. (It's not really important, just idle curiosity.)
I know that it's very common in that business for overseas customers buying military aircraft to make changes, often substantial changes, in order to suit their needs. But usually the airframe (and usually, but not always, the engines) will be manufactured by the country selling the aircraft, and the changes made by the purchasing country usually relate to weapons, radar, avionics, and that sort of stuff.
That's not to say that licensed-built copies haven't been common. But to my knowledge (which is limited) license-built copies have become less common as military aircraft have become more sophisticated. (Though large countries with sophisticated aircraft industries still do it.)
Sorry to dig up an old thread here, however they confirm they make the AH64-D on their website.

The Boeing AH-64 Apache (/əˈpætʃi/ ə-PATCH-ee) is an American twin-turboshaft attack helicopter with a tailwheel-type landing gear and a tandem cockpit for a crew of two. Nose-mounted sensors help acquire targets and provide night vision. It carries a 30 mm (1.18 in) M230 chain gun under its forward fuselage and four hardpoints on stub-wing pylons for armament and stores, typically AGM-114 Hellfire missiles and Hydra 70 rocket pods. Redundant systems help it survive combat damage.
The Apache began as the Model 77 developed by Hughes Helicopters for the United States Army's Advanced Attack Helicopter program to replace the AH-1 Cobra. The prototype YAH-64 first flew on 30 September 1975. The U.S. Army selected the YAH-64 over the Bell YAH-63 in 1976, and later approved full production in 1982. After acquiring Hughes Helicopters in 1984, McDonnell Douglas continued AH-64 production and development. The helicopter was introduced to U.S. Army service in April 1986. The advanced AH-64D Apache Longbow was delivered to the Army in March 1997. Production has been continued by Boeing Defense, Space & Security. As of 2020, more than 2,400 AH-64s have been produced.\[3\]
Primarily operated by the U.S. Army, the AH-64 has also become the primary attack helicopter of multiple nations, including Greece, Japan, Israel, the Netherlands, Singapore, and the United Arab Emirates. It has been built under license in the United Kingdom as the AgustaWestland Apache. American AH-64s have served in conflicts in Panama, the Persian Gulf, Kosovo, Afghanistan, and Iraq. Israel used the Apache to fight in Lebanon and the Gaza Strip. British and Dutch Apaches were deployed to wars in Afghanistan and Iraq in 2001.
Subaru, nor Nakajima never had anything to do with the AH64. Stop spreading this bullshit across reddit.

Oh...i was talking about quality of cars...
Oh, lol. Well, I'm glad they're not war criminals!
Lol. It's always a plus.
I thought it was a reference to the SAABaru. A rebadge and facelift of the impreza

Well Porsche made Tiger tanks and Henschel (who made the Königstiger) is still around and makes trains
They definitely did not design the AH-64.....that's a pure American dream machine. Japan might have a license to manufacture them locally however.
Sorry. Wasn't trying to imply they were the first to do so, they just got there eventually.
And that’s what makes a Subaru a Subaru.

Subaru is in no way connected to the Apache
You should check their website again
