The Sunday Guardian|September 08, 2024
After prolonged and unexplained delays, and repeated concerns raised at various levels by New Delhi, the first batch of Boeing Apache AH64E attack helicopters might finally be handed over to the Indian Army by the end of this year or early next year.

U.S. SLOW ON DELIVERY OF APACHES, INDIAN ARMY FACES LONG WAIT

This development comes after significant anticipation and numerous setbacks that have impacted the operational readiness of India's defence forces.

Sources within the defence establishment informed The Sunday Guardian that the initial batch is expected to comprise three Apache helicopters. The remaining three helicopters are projected to arrive in India three to four months after the delivery of the first batch. However, given Boeing's history of not meeting its previously committed timelines, officials in the defence department are cautiously hopeful about this updated schedule.

The procurement of these helicopters was part of an $800 million deal signed in February 2020, during the visit of former American President Donald Trump to India. At the time of signing, Boeing had committed to delivering all six helicopters by February 2024.
