The India-US defence partnership took a significant step forward on Wednesday — with the Ministry of Defense signing a $946 million deal for 24 helicopters.
“Great news in our defense relationship with India. India’s Ministry of Defense signed a sustainment package for its 24 MH-60R Seahawk helicopters, developed by Lockheed Martin. This $946 million dollar package will enhance the Indian Navy’s maritime capabilities, build interoperability with the U.S. and regional partners, and makes both our nations safer and more prosperous,” the US State department wrote on X.
