The US approves defense sustainment services for India's Apache helicopters and M777 howitzers, directly benefiting Boeing, Lockheed Martin, and BAE Systems through long-term service contracts. The mechanism is a government-to-government defense sale, creating recurring revenue streams for these contractors.
