Apache helicopters to arrive in India post US talks
After a long wait, India is set to get six powerful Apache attack helicopters from the US this year—three by July and the rest by November.
The $600 million deal, signed back in 2020, hit major delays thanks to supply chain hiccups and technical snags.
Because of this, the Army's dedicated squadron has been ready but grounded for over a year and a half.
Game-changer for India's defense on western border
These Apaches are a game-changer for India's defense on the western border, especially given ongoing tensions with Pakistan.
They'll give the Army modern ground-attack power and work alongside the Air Force's own Apaches.
Plus, this delivery highlights growing defense ties between India and the US—something both countries' leaders just discussed as they look to deepen military cooperation for years to come.
