The US Government on December 2, 2024 notified the U.S. Congress of its decision to approve the sale of equipment and support for MH-60R Seahawk helicopters to India at an estimated cost of $1.17 billion.
It will improve India’s capability to deter current and future threats by upgrading its anti-submarine warfare capabilities.
The sale includes follow-on support and a range of equipment upgrades to the MH-60R Seahawk helicopters, which are renowned for their advanced capabilities in anti-submarine warfare (ASW), anti-surface warfare (ASuW), and a variety of multi-mission roles.
India has requested to buy 30 Multifunctional Information Distribution System-Joint Tactical Radio Systems (MIDS-JTRS).
