Can we compare HAL ALH ASW version with AW159 or even a comparison with Chinese Z-9EC

And sadly not the ASW version.:shock::crying::tsk: I wish IN used few ASW ones...

There are many ALH mk1’s which will be due to retire in some years and the new requirements. It’s better HAL plans for future contingency and involve private parties for joint production. Also I do see scope for specialised ALH platform like ASW etc.. I hope private companies bring the costs...

ALH in its current form will be obsolete by end in few years. What about the next generation of ALH's is there any R&D in it????

i fail to understand if IN wants a 5 ton dual engine capable helicopter then what's fu(k!?g wrong with HAL Dhruv, if there is issue with sensor package or weapons it can be imported why the hell we need the whole platform that too 100 plus...

Indian naval satellite GSAT-7 and long-range maritime patrol aircraft P-8i had tracked 13 Chinese naval ships in the Indian Ocean over the last three months. India is also sceptical as China’s submarine deals with Myanmar, Bangladesh, and Pakistan would mean an increased number of Chinese ships...

Will the ALH ASW version of Dhruv be called MK 5 or renamed like Rudra?

I fail to understand when we have the required technology, when we are so desperate that we are buying used ASW helps from Canada who themselves are abandoning it why just can we make use of brand new ALH with all latest technology for dedicated ASW platform?

Thank you for the information, Indian Navy plans to have a 200 strong vessels force but without a ASW platform it can be a sitting duck. In 71 war the only vessel was lost to a porki sub. We can have two ALH instead of one NMRH if space allows on board to compensate the short leg and weapons...

Any idea on the sensor package for ASW role, its dead weight and any new advancement in technology like compact or miniaturizing the package?

What is the weapons carrying capacity of ALH ? Is it light weight torpedoes used in ASW platform, if yes can the Indian LWT used in ALH?

We have a fixation on everything light, small or compact like with our indigenous aviation product examples. ALH in a ASW role can be a stop gap solution only but a cost effective JUGAD. Why is it a ASW helo needs to be in the medium.category why not a light helo dedicated to do ASW missions...

Is this ASW variant accepted by the INDIAN NAVY? it can be a stop gap before a NMRH is bought or developed. Can we have this variant of ALH on every INS platform?

HAL should come up with modularity with the ALH platform like Kamov, ALH can be used as a SAR or ASW navy should be able to change the payload as per mission this will make every possible vessel which can carry a ALH do multiple missions including ASW and that's gonna be cheap really cost effective.

With the ALH-ASW capabilities each helicopter landing ship in Indian navy can be capable of anti submarine warfare or is it that the ship needs some distinguished ASW capabilities to operate a ASW helicopter?

I agree Dhruv is a very mature platform and HAL has downplayed the export potential but the requirement within the country is huge. I fail to understand why HAL is not able to offer all possible variant on Dhruv platform like ASW variant. We plan to have 200 vessels which will require multiple...

Can we do a comparison with some of the contemporary ASW helicopters and capabilities of ALH Dhruv MK 3 to better understand the short fall and capabilities of ALH Dhruv MK 3.

Why cannot we make a ASW version of the ALH Dhruv for the Indian navy?
