Indian Air Force — 6 museum-grade prints from this operator. India ordered 22 AH-64E(I) Apaches under a 2015 deal, with induction beginning in 2019 and aircraft split between Pathankot and Jorhat — 125 Helicopter Squadron operating the eastern detachment from Jorhat Air Force Station in Assam. The AH-64E(I) is a country-specific Guardian derivative with Indian mission systems and communications, retaining the Apache's signature Longbow mast-mounted radar and Hellfire-centric anti-armor doctrine. India ordered MiG-29 fighters in the mid-1980s as a counter to F-16 exports across the border, with No. 47 Squadron Black Archers standing up as the IAF's first Fulcrum operator at Adampur in Punjab. The Su-30MKI is a deeply customised Indian variant of Sukhoi's Su-30 platform, assembled under licence by Hindustan Aeronautics Limited with AL-31FP engines featuring thrust vector control, N011M Bars radar, and integration for weapons including BrahMos and Astra. It forms the quantitative backbone of IAF air superiority and strike planning.
