Worst part is, orders for LUH will still take time. These are well past their life, should be retired by now.

It's been almost 20 years since they started talking about replacing Cheetah and Chetak in 2004..

Meanwhile yesterday someone posted that "significant chunk" of armed forces' budget will go unutilized.

99% it's Indian Army topping the list and maybe IAF second to that.

Yes you are correct. But still 28% unused while their purchase products are already available . Standardized guns, kits, ATAGs, LUH.

Constructive criticism is allowed. The thread has very morbid vibes. Members are expected be concerned and at times frustrated. But showing same emotions repeatedly will attract demerit points.

Even when they order them it’ll be 12 LSP first and then maybe 3 years later a larger order. At this rate there will still be Chetak/Cheetah in service come 2030 but of course the generals that are sat idle On these issues won’t ever have to fly on these ancient birds

LUH offers all weather performance with an AFCS as compared to the day-only, VFR only Chetak/Cheetahs that need full manual flying throughout. The contrast between the LUH and its predecessors is stark but of course the circus needs to prevail before any actual orders are placed. In the meantime who cares How many skilled and capable aviators are lost, in many other countries this would be a scandal and generals would be held accountable.

In other news, the veteran community who publicly degraded the ALH project this week must be feeling especially ridiculous:

Jo chinta salary aur perks ko lekar hoti hai wo hardware aur uske maintainance ko lekar kyo nahi hoti.. Open Secret this is..

How can respect for human life exist in a billion plus population? Look at our road accident stats. We are China with a Gucci belt in the safety department.

LSP is a practical procedure. The users have to give feedback after using the LSPs. That's how integration of new equipment or modification of existing systems is carried out.

The gap between LSPs and SPs is inevitable. ALH suffered from lesser time between both. That's why we don't see ALH mk II anywhere.
