First lot of American Apache chopper arrives
Firebird For IAF

The first batch of eight American Boeing AH-64E Apache attack helicopters has been inducted at Pathankot to boost India's war-fighting ability on the western front. This is the first attack copter we have purchased from the US. The Indian Air Force currently uses the Soviet/Russian origin Mi25 and Mi35 helicopters.

Induction of the Apache will be a "technological leap" as the present fleet is a throwback to what was the top notch 25 years ago.
