India has awarded a contract to Longbow LLC, a Lockheed Martin-Northrop Grumman joint venture, for fire control radar (FCR) systems for its Boeing AH-64E Apache attack helicopters, Lockheed Martin announced in a 30 April press statement released at the Army Aviation Association of America's (AAAA's) annual conference.

The firm-fixed price, undefinitised Foreign Military Sales (FMS) contract purchases 12 FCRs for USD57.1 million, but could be worth up to USD116.7 million, according to Lockheed Martin.

"With Longbow FCR, the Indian Air Force will receive a rapid all-weather targeting capability," Jim Messina, Longbow LLC's president and director of Longbow programmes at Lockheed Martin Missiles and Fire Control, said in the statement.

its all over on PDF , in every thread regarding PA getting AH-Z1 or Mil-35's , Indian were bragging about how their Apache are more advance .. so it gives the impression that they are already in IA inventory , that is why I was shocked that so far its not inducted ..

So I should laugh at you people for the boasting of su35 I guess

thing is Pakistani never give impression about we already have Su-35 , its always on so many If's and But's ..
I know IA apache is done deal but some posters here gives the impression of that its already inducted ..

nothing personal here ..
