Yes LCH has no alternative.No, Because their are no alternative to LCH on this planet earth hence IAF decided to buy stop gap solution of best preform-ace gunship on this globe ..
Keep in mind MI-28N lost to AH-64 long bow in trails ..
But Apache has its own qualities.
It can carry more payload and armament at medium altitude.
May be it has been bought as a stop gap but the way I see it it will soon find its own niche role.
That will also free up LCH fleet to engage at heights. In a two front war scenario we need LCH fleet to fully engage in Himalayas while Apache and likes can take Battle in desert of thar and Punjab border.
