The United States is offering 245 Stinger missiles to India as part of a weapons package for the Apache attack choppers being acquired by the Indian Air Force. “245 air-to-air Stinger missiles and 56 launchers are included in the weapons package for the Apache helicopters,” the Press Trust of India reported, quoting officials of Raytheon, which manufactures the missiles. “The Stinger compliments the advanced performance of the Apache by providing the IAF with the critical air-to-air defence capability,” they said.
