Apache Helicopter in Indian Army: A new dawn a new strength and a new message. India’s grassroots war capacity will now attack from the sky, because the time the army of the country was waiting for years has finally come. The first batch of ‘Apache AH-64E’ helicopters purchased from the US has reached India and that too directly in the battlefield Jodhpur of Rajasthan. It is not just a helicopter but a flying tank in the battlefield. Which is counted among the world’s deadliest warships. And now it is with the Indian Army. The helicopter priced at Rs 860 crore per unit will now be posted on the India border and is not just a military deal but a strategic message for those enemies who look at the border of India.
2020 deal of 2025 threats
The deal of this powerful helicopter took place in the year 2020 from America. India had to get 6 Apache helicopters under this deal of about 5000 crores. But delivery delayed more than a year. Now the first three helicopters have landed on the soil of India. The remaining three helicopters are expected to come by November. According to sources, these helicopters will be operated in Jodhpur near 451 Army Aviation Squadron. This squadron already monitors the western borders and now the presence of Apache will increase its height and firepower manifold.
Apache: Not just a helicopter, not a ‘deadly war tank in the air’
The matter is not just a machine but an accurate weapon that can give a decisive victory in the field. Knowing the merits of Apache helicopter, the hair stands up. A 30 mm automatic guns in it can target the moving vehicles on tanks and infantry. With this, the Hydra-70 rocket system Helphier anti-tank missiles and advanced night vision technology together make it a full fighter platform. This is the reason that it is called ‘Flying Tank’, that is, this helicopter in the sky as much as there is a dangerous tank on the ground.
Now the army will also wreak havoc from the sky
Till now the Indian Air Force had an Apache helicopter but this is the first time it is being included for the Indian Army. This change is part of a major strategic thinking so that the army can also use air strike in its ground operation. That is, now the army will not depend only on tanks and armored vehicles, now the target will be eliminated directly from the wind. Experts believe that these helicopters will give a decisive edge to India from the Line of Control to the Western desert areas, especially in any safe addition or cross -border infiltration efforts to give immediate and accurate reply.
American technology combine Indian strength
This helicopter manufactured by Boeing is a unique example of America’s technological superiority and a combination of India’s defense strategy. This shows that India is now becoming a global player in strategic thinking, not just an importer. To put Apache on the Indian terrain means not just a weapon but a strong military message.
Now who will stop India?
Now that the roar of Apache is heard in the air of Jodhpur, it has become a symbol, not just a city, the symbol of the new power of the Indian Army. It is a clear message for all those enemies sitting across the border that India is now ready to give a befitting reply and that too. Now when the Apache is with India, it is certain that the coming time will be the dominance of the Indian Army not only on the land, not only the land.
