The Indian Navy is poised to induct three new MH-60R Seahawk multi-role helicopters in July out of the 24 helicopters it ordered in a $2.6 billion deal in 2020 to replace its obsolete Sea King Mk42B fleet. The arrival of the new helicopters, announced by the U.S. Embassy on 17 July, ensures that the Indian Navy has received 23 out of the 24 helicopters it ordered from Lockheed Martin back in 2020. The final helicopter will arrive later this year.
