It’s not suited(very bad) for high altitude ops afaik. Luh is proving more suitable for that role as seen with high alt tests. Also, the more money that is poured into the program, the better results one gets. LUH is very much less advanced than a fighter jet program, and investing more into it...

Interesting as to why there’s so little promotional videos done on luh or alh mk3. No videos, nothing->HAL marketing.

LUH should be more than adequate for those needs. Just pour more money into that program and get something good out of it. Surely, it can be modified to replace the cheetahs, and also carry out multi role Recce ops. Indias at a point where it does not need a foreign vendor for something as less...

They should just push into production already for the lch. How much longer does everyone have to wait?

I believe the apaches are fitted with DIRCM modules that are very effective against MANPADS. That would be an awesome addition to the LCH. I believe ELBIT also offers DIRCM systems. Not an expert in effectiveness of the DIRCM’s. But even if we just have 2 ATGM’s along with 2 rocket pods per...

There should be no need to add a bigger/heavier gun on the LCH than the one currently fitted on it. Focus should be on carrying effective ATGM’s and guided rockets if possible. In addition, countermeasures to MANPAD systems. MANPADS are the main threats that platforms like this will face and...

Hold up..how did or why did your 2250kg empty become approximately equal to 2300kg?

Yeah, let’s add a mid air refueling probe as well. And some nice spanky guided Bombs. Why not add a small cargo compartment where troops can be loaded as well. You’re talking as if these platforms are going to be fighting at sea level altitude. A small increment in weight causes major...

Sorry, but the first sentence in your response is the definition of contradictory. We mean LIGHT, because we want it to reach high altitudes. As light as possible, to increase high altitude performance envelope. Getting rid of the cannons is actually better, and focus on adding guided rocket...

The name of the platform is ‘LIGHT’ Combat Helicopter.
