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.

“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.

The IAF had signed a multi-billion dollar contract with the US government and Boeing Ltd in September 2015 for 22 Apache helicopters.

Additionally, the Defence Ministry in 2017 approved the procurement of six Apache helicopters along with weapons systems from Boeing at a cost of Rs 4,168 crore for the Army. (PTI)
