I have a strong Feeling Army aviation going for Ch-47 and IAF for MI-26..
Far too many information and threads on helo's . I read there's also 200 helo requirement?I have a strong Feeling Army aviation going for Ch-47 and IAF for MI-26..
Whatever happened t our very own Dhruv ?We should purchase 197 Kamov Ka-226T in Light utility helicopters from Russia and 22 Apache and 12 CH-47 from U.S. We also have deal for 80 Mil Mi-17V5 transport helicopters from Russia. I don't think Russia will have any problem as it can get half of Heli orders minimum and most importantly we should buy what is best and not for diplomatic reasons.
That is going on. It's home made and i was only talking about imports in my previous post.Whatever happened t our very own Dhruv ?
I was referring to the Kamov ka-226, why 200 of those IMPORTED LIGHT UTILITY HELICOPTERS, when we have our own version the Dhruv ?That is going on. It's home made and i was only talking about imports in my previous post.
Because of quicker deliveries of the imports and that LOH is not as proven as the competitors. ALH orders are already there. LOH will take at least 4 to 5 years because prototypes still need to be built and tested.I was referring to the Kamov ka-226, why 200 of those IMPORTED LIGHT UTILITY HELICOPTERS, when we have our own version the Dhruv ?
Light Observation Helicopter: To replace Cheetah..Far too many information and threads on helo's . I read there's also 200 helo requirement?
Reserve or scraped if not sold..What is going to happen to the retired Cheetahs and Chetaks? scrapped? Sold to private sector? or transferred to less rigorous users like the paramilitary forces or the armed police?

In a country like India which is poor and resources deficient, there are thousands of agencies which need hellicopters but do not have one. Chita and chetak are still good assets and are likely to reamin as the main assets of the Services for multiple tasks such as communication and reccee for a decade. I think projection of other types of hepters is in addition and not replacement.What is going to happen to the retired Cheetahs and Chetaks? scrapped? Sold to private sector? or transferred to less rigorous users like the paramilitary forces or the armed police?
I like that idea very much.We should purchase 197 Kamov Ka-226T in Light utility helicopters from Russia and 22 Apache and 12 CH-47 from U.S. We also have deal for 80 Mil Mi-17V5 transport helicopters from Russia.

Sevmash, did you see that?
Hundreds of industry, government and military officials attended the event in which two of the new AH-64 aircraft were actually delivered to the Army ahead of schedule.
