The arrival of the highly anticipated Boeing AH-64E Apache attack helicopters for the Indian Army has been delayed due to recent crashes involving the platform in the US Army. According to a source close to idrw.org, investigations into these crashes have identified potential issues with the AH-64E, specifically an increase in electrical power generator failures. These failures could lead to a dangerous build-up of smoke in the cockpit, posing a significant risk to pilots.

In response, Boeing has placed a hold on all new deliveries of the AH-64E Apache attack helicopter. This hold will remain in effect until the underlying issues are fully addressed and validated through additional testing.

The Indian Army has an order for six AH-64E Apaches, originally scheduled for delivery in late May or early June of this year. However, due to the hold on new deliveries, these helicopters will not arrive in India until later. Estimates suggest deliveries may not take place until the end of 2024, as Boeing conducts additional tests and lifts the delivery hold.
This delay is likely to be frustrating for the Indian Army, which has been eagerly awaiting the arrival of these advanced attack helicopters. The AH-64E Apache is a powerful weapon system that will significantly enhance the Indian Army’s offensive capabilities.

The Indian government and the Indian Army will undoubtedly be closely monitoring the situation and working with Boeing to ensure a swift resolution and the earliest possible delivery of these critical helicopters.
