Indian Navy Receives Approval for New Helicopters
After a long saga, the Indian Navy has been granted approval to buy the Sikorsky MH-60R through FMS channels, as well as a new utility helicopter
The Indian Navy has been approved to buy the MH-60R from Sikorsky to replace the dwindling fleet of Westland Sea Kings, the first of which entered service in 1971. Here a late 1980s-vintage Sea King Mk 42B is seen in June this year while visiting the U.S. Navy carrier Ronald Reagan. (photo: U.S. Navy)
