The Indian Army on Tuesday received the final batch of three AH-64E Apache attack helicopters from the United States, completing its full fleet of six helicopters for the 451 Army Aviation Squadron based in Rajasthan’s Jodhpur. As per the information, the official photographs will be released on Wednesday morning. The helicopters landed at the Hindon Airbase in Ghaziabad. The first batch of three Apache helicopters had arrived in India in July, after a delay of nearly 15 months. The remaining three helicopters were awaited since then, leaving the squadron operationally constrained despite being raised in March 2024. Earlier, reports claimed that the final batch would be assembled and inspected after reaching India before being formally inducted into service.
