At Cochin International Airport on Thursday, the Indian Navy received the first shipment of two MH-60 R multi-role helicopters from the US. Next month’s delivery of the third helicopter is planned.
The Lockheed Martin Corporation in the United States produces the MH-60R, an all-weather helicopter with cutting-edge avionics and sensors that can support numerous missions.

The US government and the Indian Navy have agreed to a deal under which the Indian Navy will purchase 24 of these helicopters. Additionally, the helicopters will be outfitted with a variety of special equipment and armaments for India.

By 2025, all 24 MH 60R helicopters will have been delivered. The Indian Navy’s integrated anti-submarine warfare capacity will greatly increase with the introduction of state-of-the-art mission-capable platforms, the naval force stated in twitter.

In order to be integrated into the fleet operations of the Indian Navy, these multi-mission capable helicopters will initially be based at Naval Air Station Garuda in Kochi and put through rigorous flying trials.

Ratan Tata ji is not only a renowned industrialist but also a trained pilot, holding a pilot’s license. In 2007, he became the first Indian civilian to fly the F-16 Falcon during the Aero India show in Bangalore—a proud moment for the nation.

His passion for aviation extended beyond flying, as he played a key role in shaping India’s aerospace industry. Under his leadership, Tata ventured into manufacturing and maintaining aerospace components while upholding its legacy of quality. Notably, Tata’s collaboration with Airbus to develop and manufacture the C295 aircraft is a testament to its growing influence in the sector.
