According to Media Sources, The Indian Army has received the remaining three Boeing Apache attack helicopters, which will soon join the Army’s 451 Army Aviation Squadron based in Jodhpur. According to the Army, the helicopters will be deployed in Jodhpur after assembly, joint inspections and completion of other formalities in the coming days. The helicopters were brought to India aboard an Antonov An-124 aircraft. India had earlier received the initial three Apache helicopters in July this year, while the remaining arrived on Tuesday. The Indian Army’s Apache helicopters made their debut during Exercise Maru Jwala earlier this year. Exercise Maru Jwala was part of the larger tri-services drill, Exercise Trishul.
As Per Media Sources, The Army is steadily expanding its firepower in the attack helicopter domain and is also set to induct 90 homegrown Light Combat Helicopters (LCH) Prachand. The Army Aviation Corps also operates the weapon systems-integrated version of the Advanced Light Helicopter (ALH), known as Rudra. An earlier statement from the Army on the Aviation Corps’ raising day said that the induction of the helicopters is expected to significantly enhance the strike and reconnaissance capabilities of the Army Aviation Corps. The deliveries took place after delays. As per earlier reports, the first batch was expected to arrive around February or March. However, the first helicopters arrived only in July. Earlier timelines had suggested that deliveries of all six helicopters would begin in 2023. This was later pushed to 2024, followed by further delays. After receiving the initial batch, the Indian Army formally inducted the Apache helicopters into its aviation fleet.
