American aerospace major Boeing have delivered three Apache attack choppers to the Indian Army, officials said.
The company delivered the AH-64E Apaches choppers as part of a contract to supply six helicopters to the Indian Army.
The AH-64 Apache is one of the world’s most advanced multi-role combat helicopters and is flown by the US Army.
“Milestone moment for Indian Army as the first batch of Apache helicopters for Army Aviation arrive today in India. These state-of-the-art platforms will bolster the operational capabilities of the Indian Army significantly,” the Army said in a social media post.
In 2020, Boeing completed delivery of 22 E-model Apaches to the Indian Air Force (IAF) and signed a contract to supply six AH-64Es for the Indian Army.
The delivery of the Indian Army’s Apaches was scheduled to begin in 2024.
