Apache Helicopter Delays Under Spotlight
US President Trump noted that Indian officials had told him the wait stretched to nearly five years, something he felt was unreasonable for a key defence partner. According to Trump, the issue was being actively addressed, and he pointed out that India had placed an order for 68 Apache helicopters.
He argued that procurement systems needed reform so that friendly nations were not left waiting indefinitely for critical defence equipment. Countries like India, he said, should not face prolonged delivery timelines for platforms that were already contracted and cleared.
