The Indian Army is going to receive a consignment of 3 Apache Combet Helicopters (AH-64E) from American company Boeing amidst statements of US President Donald Trump on Operation Sindoor. The Apache helicopter is expected to reach Hindon Airbase on Monday (July 21, 2025). These Apache helicopters will be posted at the Indian Army’s aviation core in Jodhpur.

Deal with America for so many million dollars
In 2020, the Ministry of Defense signed a deal to buy 6 Apache helicopters from the US for the Army. The total price of this deal was $ 800 million (about 7000 thousand crore rupees). According to the deal, in the year 2024, the army was supposed to deliver this US attack helicopter, but the deal is going on late by about 15 months. According to the information, delivery of the remaining three helicopters is also expected to be received this year.
