Washington has approved two major military logistics and sustainment packages worth more than $428 million to support India’s fleet of AH-64E Apache attack helicopters and M777A2 ultra-light howitzers, according to official notifications issued under the US Foreign Military Sales programme. The package is aimed at maintaining operational readiness of key Indian military assets rather than supplying new weapons systems. Of the total amount, nearly $198.2 million has been allocated for Apache helicopter support, while approximately $230 million will fund maintenance and sustainment services for the M777 artillery platforms. US authorities said the agreement includes engineering assistance, technical support, spare parts, repair logistics, training modules, and related documentation required to keep the systems operational over the long term. Boeing and Lockheed Martin are expected to oversee support activities linked to the Apache helicopters, while BAE Systems will manage sustainment services for the M777 howitzers. The approval comes amid India’s continued focus on strengthening combat preparedness along sensitive border regions, including mountainous northern sectors and western desert areas. The support package is expected to enhance the availability and service life of systems already deployed by the Indian armed forces. US officials stated that the transaction would improve India’s defence capabilities without altering the broader military balance in the region. The move also reflects the growing defence partnership between Washington and New Delhi, which has increasingly expanded beyond equipment sales to include interoperability, logistics cooperation, and long-term sustainment arrangements.
