Indian Army to buy Apache attack helicopters for the first time

| | Aug 18, 2017, at 05:11 am
New Delhi, Aug 17 (IBNS): The Indian Army is all set to buy six US built Apache attack helicopters within the next six months with the government authorising the purchase of the same on Thursday, media reports said.

According to reports, the deal is worth $655 million dollars or about Rs. 4,170 crore.

This will enable the army to operate its own attack helicopters for the first time.

According to NDTV reports, the army's Apaches will be deployed on the Western Front in support of tank formations in a role similar to that of Indian Air Force helicopters.
