NEW DELHI (Web Desk) – India has delivered three military choppers to Afghanistan ahead of President Ashraf Ghani’s maiden visit in next week.
Indian Minister of State for Defence Rao Inderjit Singh informed the Parliament that India has already dispatched the three unarmed helicopters to Kabul on April 9.
“These helicopters have been test flown and accepted by Afghanistan pilots on 15th April,” the minister said in a written reply to P Nagarajan in Lok Sabha.
The three unarmed Cheetal helicopters were ready for delivery with India since June. However, the two nations were looking for an appropriate time for handing them over.
President Ashraf Ghani will reach New Delhi on April 27 on his first ever vist to India since he took over his office after the elections.
