These helicopters were inducted during an elaborate ceremony at Palam air base. These beauties were delivered to India last year and the first squadron had come up in Bhatinda. Since then the helicopters were undergoing pre-induction tests. The contract for the purchase of 80 of these choppers was signed with Russia in 2008 at the cost of $1.38 billion. Soon two more squadrons - one each in Srinagar and Bagdogra (West Bengal) - will come up.
