The Indian Navy received two MH 60R multi-role helicopters from the United States at Cochin International Airport on Thursday. The helicopters were delivered by the Special Air Assignment Mission Flight of the US Air Force.
The helicopters were part of the 24 MH 60 R Multirole helicopters being procured by India from the United States at a cost of over 14,000 crore rupees. The first three helicopters delivered last year in the US in 2021 are being utilized for training the Indian Navy crew. Another helicopter is scheduled to be delivered on August 22.
The delivery of all the 24 MH 60 R multirole helicopters will be completed by 2025. The induction of these helicopters will significantly boost the integral Anti-Submarine Warfare (ASW) capability of the Indian Navy,”said the Indian Navy officials.
