The United States has approved a ₹4,122 crore technical support package aimed at improving the operational capabilities of India’s AH-64E Apache helicopters and M777 Howitzer artillery systems. The decision marks another important step in the growing defence partnership between India and the United States.
According to US officials, the package includes technical assistance, maintenance support, equipment services, and other operational upgrades required for the effective functioning of the defence systems. The support is expected to help India strengthen the readiness and performance of its military equipment.
Officials in the United States stated that the agreement will further improve defence cooperation between the two countries while supporting India’s border security and strategic preparedness. India has been expanding its defence capabilities in recent years through technology partnerships and military modernization programs.
The AH-64E Apache helicopters and M777 Howitzer systems are considered important assets in India’s defence operations, particularly in difficult terrains and border regions. Defence experts believe continued technical support is necessary to maintain operational efficiency.
The latest agreement reflects the strengthening strategic relationship between India and the United States in defence and security cooperation.
