India's military is getting a helicopter upgrade

India Dec 15, 2025

Big news for India's defense: the Army is about to receive three powerful Apache attack helicopters from the US, wrapping up a deal that started in 2020.
Meanwhile, the Navy will commission its second squadron of MH-60R Seahawk helicopters at INS Hansa in Goa on December 17.
Both moves are part of a larger push to modernize and stay ready for any regional challenges.

More choppers coming soon

The Apaches will boost the Army's edge on the western front, while the Seahawks strengthen the Navy's anti-submarine skills.
Looking ahead, India plans to replace its old Cheetah and Chetak fleets with over 1,000 new helicopters in the next decade—even though there have been some delays.
It's all about keeping India's forces sharp and prepared for whatever comes next.
