The defense industries of the world, including the Italian ones, love India. A growing country, a strong economy and a clear political will that aims to create a modern army.

The latest contract for 1,4 billion dollars was detached from Boeing for the purchase of 22 AH-64E Apache attack helicopters. The supply also includes 50 engines General Electric T700-701D, 1.350 missiles Lockheed Martin AGM-114 Hellfire, 245 missiles Stinger Raytheon and 12 fire control radar Lockheed / Northrop Grumman APG-78.

The latest check from 215 million dollars was detached a few hours ago from Lockheed Martin for the supply of night vision systems for Indian Apaches. Delivery of the systems must be completed by December 31 of the 2021.

Within the next few years, India will assign contracts for the supply of new 700 helicopters for the country's armed forces. That's why all the defense industries, including Italy, love India.
