New Delhi, Jul 22: American aerospace major Boeing on Tuesday delivered three Apache attack choppers to the Indian Army, officials said.
\nThe company delivered the AH-64E Apaches choppers as part of a contract to supply six helicopters to the Indian Army.
\nThe AH-64 Apache is one of the world\u2019s most advanced multi-role combat helicopters and is flown by the US Army.
\n\u201cThese state-of-the-art platforms will bolster the operational capabilities of the Indian Army significantly,\u201d the Army said in a social media post.
\nIn 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.
\nThe delivery of the Indian Army\u2019s Apaches was scheduled to begin in 2024.
\nThe IAF had signed a multi-billion dollar contract with the US government and Boeing Ltd in September 2015 for 22 Apache helicopters.
\nAdditionally, 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. (Agencies)<\/p>\n
