The Indian Army has established its inaugural Apache attack helicopter squadron in Jodhpur, strengthening its defense along the Pakistan border. Led by Lt Gen Ajay Suri, the squadron awaits the arrival of its first batch of desert-colored choppers by May, despite slight delays due to global security concerns. Procured from the US, these advanced helicopters signify India's commitment to enhancing military capabilities. Affectionately dubbed "tanks in the air," they will initially land at Hindon Air Force Station before deployment to Jodhpur. This strategic move underscores India's resolve to bolster its defense infrastructure in the face of regional challenges.
