Boeing commences production of AH-64E Apache choppers for Indian Army
Defence major Boeing on Wednesday said it had started producing AH-64E Apache attack helicopters in Mesa, Arizona, in an encouraging sign for Indian Army’s mechanised strike formations.
Boeing will deliver six AH-64E Apache helicopters to the Indian Army for Rs. 4,168 crore. All six of these Apaches are to be delivered by 2024.
Since independence in 1947, the Indian Air Force (IAF) has insisted on retaining control of combat aviation assets, especially attack helicopters, which the air marshals have kept under their control.
