India has emerged as a potential supplier of helicopters for the Argentine Navy, as confirmed by the Chief of General Staff of the Argentine Armada, Contralmirante Carlos María Allievi.
Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) has extended an offer to the Argentine Army for its ALH-Dhruv and LUH helicopters to replace the ageing Bell UH-1 fleet. To enhance the prospects of securing the contract, HAL has proposed technology transfer for the local assembly of these helicopters. This move aligns with the company’s broader strategy to expand its footprint in the South American market, where several countries have expressed interest in its products.
HAL already enjoys a collaborative relationship with Argentina. It maintains a service agreement with the Argentine Air Force for Lama helicopter engines and has partnered with the Argentine Aircraft Factory (FAdeA) for joint aerospace projects.
This potential deal signifies a significant step forward in India’s defence exports and underscores the growing strategic partnership between the two nations.
