The Indian Army will keep the demand for 39 Apache helicopters from the US in the meeting with Defense Minister Arun Jaitley. The total expenditure for the purchase of 39 units of Apache helicopter can come upto 12 thousand crore rupees. In fact, the high level sources of the Army told Mail Today that the Apache helicopter needed to increase its fire power in the borders of Pakistan and China. According to sources associated with the army, the Air Force has recently prepared a contract for the purchase of 22 helicopters. Although the helicopter’s control is near, the tension between Air Force and the Army continues.
Apache helicopter is active every night in every season
According to sources associated with the army, these helicopters will be divided into three squadrons. Each squadron will have 10 helicopters, which will be deployed on the border of Pakistan and China. The Indian army wants to buy Apache helicopter from the US through Foreign Military Sales. These helicopters are said to be the world’s most dangerous helicopter. These are called Stealth helicopters with the ability to stay active in all seasons. That is, they will not be able to look after them during the flight of the enemy country. In addition to laser and infrared systems, these helicopters with the ability to overturn the war are more dangerous helmphar missiles.
Army believes that their Flying Officers of the Army will be more effective in their help than during the war. In fact, the officers of the army understand the war in the land better. At the same time, according to an army officer, the air force does not want to share these helicopters with the army. According to the army officer, we had requested the 22 Air Force helicopter to the Air Force, but they refused to accept it. Besides, the Air Force is not ready on 50-50 sharing.
Army needs Apache helicopter
According to the decision of the then National Security Assistant Shivshankar Menon in 2012, the purchase of all the fighter planes for the next will be only for the army. However, the Air Force believes that the Procurement Procurement of Apache was started before the year 2012. The Russian Mi-25 and Mi-35’s two squadrons are already under the control of the Air Force. At the same time, according to a study by the Director General of Military Operations (DGMO), the Army needs three squadrons of Apache helicopter at the moment. Every squadron should have at least three helicopters. At the same time, there should be three helicopter reserves in every squadron.
