    HAL Prachand - Light Combat Helicopter (LCH)

    In this video our IAF apaches fly with just 2 helfire. Perhaps, they don't want to expose the missiles to the elements of nature or perhaps the operational requirement doesn't need more than just 2 missiles. Similarly in LCH they just have AAMs(mistral) in the outer pillows to show their...

    HAL Prachand - Light Combat Helicopter (LCH)

    Where did you get information that LCH doesn't have A2A missile. I have time and again shown the proof of it being tested successfully and LSPs flying with A2A missiles. Don't spread misinformation! For ATGM they are awaiting for indigenous options. Checkout the mistral in the outermost pillions.

    HAL Prachand - Light Combat Helicopter (LCH)

    For those who complain about it's weapon package: I fully agree your point that all the weapon package should be from day one(LSP), however some of the home grown solutions are either under-development(AAM) or final stages of user trials(ATGM). The EW suit integration and ATGM trails will be...

    HAL Prachand - Light Combat Helicopter (LCH)

    Exactly, in low altitudes there isn't any weight penalty, so obviously it can carry more. The reason for Rudra not having 4 missiles on the later endpoints were because of the missiles literally hitting the floor. Moreover it's not a dedicated attack helo design.

    Just for fun: Everyone is born toothless, You, me and everyone! :) And eventually get strong teeth(and loose it :P)!! Eurofighter and others followed the same suit! the weapon package is added after induction! About INS Kolkatta: No amount of SAM is enough for a big target like Warships, but...

    Don't be pessimistic and don't call Toothless, without realising the true potential of the platform Though it's an off-topic, I would like to highlight what happened when Kolkatta class destroyers where inducted, arm-chair critics were so pessimistic, and called it defenceless, since it missed...

    HAL Prachand - Light Combat Helicopter (LCH)

    It has rockets, AAM, and turret guns, why would you call it as toothless! Moreover the Helina integration in Rudra is successul, this'll eventually find way to LCH. This is an amazing platform!! Don't be like an arm chair general !!

    HAL Prachand - Light Combat Helicopter (LCH)

    Some of IAF apaches are having AN/APG-78 Longbow fire control radar (FCR) I wish LCH has its own, at least in the plains, as I am afraid this could add weight penalty in high altitudes, which could affect its performance.
