It is the same with su 30 MKI, it takes money to build the infrastructure to make all that equipment plus the machinery, so it inflates the cost.

By the last upgrade Kiowa just less the 50 kg from it maximum take off weight when with fuel tank full. It effect the structure of the helicopter very bad and now that most shoulder launch anti aircraft missile are dual seeker, that means a more powerful jammer. Plus there was a problem of power...

The standard ECM will not do in such mission. I mean jammer that can jam multiple frequency, IR jammer. Also SAR capability with a FLIR will be required. LUH lifts about 750kg and it would have to operate with full load at low level flying from at high speed. With all the armour, firepower and...

They are in limited service with additional order plan, but mainly in training squadron to establish the tactics required and SOP. You can say it's in limited Service.

No they are very different 1.Our version of Ka 226T has two engine and is much safer to use but needs extra maintenance. 2.It has a modular design and the cabin can be replace so it will be more efficient, and more convenient. We can have air ambulance cabin and in about an our swap it with a...

Look like we can expect the first KA 226 and LUH by next year. Good news :india::india::india:

It still lack armor, ECM, basic first aid and surveillance kit . It can be use to send a two man team but no more.

Rudra is presently most suited for such operations.

For context the American use a 5-6 helicopter squad for deploying a 6 men team ( 1 ambulance +2 gun ship+1 troop carrier +1 reserve) but they quickly lost the surprise element. So now a SF helicopter must have a ECM capability, armor, fire power, surveillance kit along with basic first aid, so a...

SF operation will get specialise helicopter with weapons carrying capability, ECM, more armor and more powerful engine. Most probably they will modify ALH and presently they have no plans to have smaller chopper.

It is a utility helicopter not a combat helicopter. It will transport goods and personal from one base to another. For combat deployment Ka 226T will be use as it gives more flexibility and hence is more effective in combat role like air ambulance, troop transport, external load carrying etc.

Hope the make a unmanned type for our forces

No, Ka 226 is a double engine copper while LUH is single engine. Think of it like the Cheetah and Chetal copper team. Ka 226 has modular design which might help in future copper design.

what does the test result show ? Why are the rotar tip not slanted ,it will increase the performance and reduce noise

Hey guys I find this on Janes Powered by a single Shakti 1U turboshaft engine - a derivative of the Shakti (Arididen 1H1) engine developed jointly by HAL and France's Turbomeca - the LUH has a two-man crew and an operating range of 350 km. It is intended to be capable of carrying a 500 kg...
