HAL IMRH Brochure, clicked by myself.

Funny thing is that this helicopter is equivalent to Blackhawk in terms of carrying payload but is closer to Chinook in terms of carrying passengers while Blackhawk is equivalent to ALH Dhruv in terms of carrying passengers. Can't tell which design is more efficient.

And keep in mind that the USArmy has about 2000 of the Blackhawks in its current inventory and about 440 Chinooks indicating a highly vast cargo carrying capacity.

Another funny thing is US Army has the second largest Air Force.

Even funnier, the UH-60 and it's variants have less range on a full tank than the ALH.
