Indian personnel are currently training on three MH-60R helicopters in the US.

The first three of 24 Lockheed Martin MH-60R multirole naval helicopters, which the Indian Navy (IN) ordered in early 2020 for $2.6 billion, will arrive in India around July.

The trio was handed over to the IN in July 2021 to instruct a team of 18 pilots and technicians at Pensacola, Florida, on how to operate and maintain them. Deliveries of the remaining 21 platforms are scheduled for completion by 2025.
