Overview
- The first three AH-64E Apaches will arrive at Hindon Air Force Station on July 21 for deployment along the Pakistan border.
- These attack helicopters were procured under a $600 million agreement inked during President Trump’s 2020 visit to New Delhi.
- Supply chain disruptions and shifting global tensions pushed the expected delivery back by more than a year.

- Each AH-64E is equipped with advanced targeting sensors, night-vision navigation and integrated communications and weapons systems.
