    AH-64E Apache attack helicopter

    Holy cow. 32 km anti tank missile ! India should by spike from Israel and integrate into lch rather than buying expensive Apaches. Apache has better armour but If lch can hit enemy tank from 30 km away who needs an armour. Sant will give 20km + range anyway but until that is ready just order...

    AH-64E Apache attack helicopter

    Hmm that's interesting. Could it be function of less production? Jevelin and hellfire have much higher production number then nag or helina. More orders and mass production could make price competitive. Remember most of the cost will be paid in rupee for desi missile as opposed to $ for...
