In a significant boost to its operational capabilities, the Indian Army on Tuesday received the first batch of Apache helicopters into its Aviation fleet.

The state-of-the-art Apache choppers, painted in a desert camouflage, arrived from the United States.

The Indian Army in a social media post termed the induction a "milestone moment" for the Indian Army, stating that the arrival of the state-of-the-art platforms would "bolster the operational capabilities of the Indian Army significantly."
