Loss of cyclic power. Pilot pitches down to gain speed and autorotate into landing. Superb piloting

Sell that to someone who doesnt know the story. Dhruv MkIV WSI was extremely good. IN was particularly impressed with its optronics that allowed for target identification at 2 km ranges. IN asked HAL to incorporate folding rotor blades so that these could operate from frigates and destroyers...

because the HAL NUH is a Prototype.

Yeah, I suppose the Mi24 series never happened? Nor did the Huey ever get rocket and gun pods in Vietnam. (sarcasm)

Yeah we can't manufacture parts of Su-30MKI in house at all. Which is why we were able to achieve near 87% availability in Gagan Shakti, no? Get out of your groove and admit that things have changed for the better. But, that's too much to ask of people too set in their ways.

This is BS.. The Dhruv won't get any civilian orders at all. Tell me the day HAL agrees to pvt partners for military variants. That won't ever happen, because then HAL might have to become competitive.

Great to see the Dhruv onboard the Vikramaditya. But, sadly, the lack of folding blades is an eyesore.

I didn't know that the Air Force operated wheeled versions of the Dhruv.( helicopter in the background)
