The only thing is rudra can carry troops
Good for special heli borne operation s ....For insertaion of troops in warzone

There isn't any space left for troop transport in Rudra. Someone said this earlier in the ALH thread IG.

 

[Dark Sorrow]

That I know, but my exact question is what do we mean by dalal here is it some third party person who acts as mediator between the army and arms companies?

So corrupt apparatus can mint money without getting their hands dirty. Its a win-win for all parties involved.

This is a big misconception, @Gessler has clarified this before on another thread. The passenger space is taken by ammunition storage boxes and FCS LRUs.

Is the frunt turret fed from this? I am confused. Its suppose to carry rockets, atgms and AtoA from pylons(if that's the correct word). Those are obviously replenished on land. So what the heck is this .

I’m not exactly sure how they reload it and whether it can be done from the inside, but this is how it’s feed system looks like,

Depends on the configuration you are using.
If troop transport or supplies moment is the primary goal of you sorties than this ammo and LRC can be removed.
ALH Rudra gives you multi-mission capabilities that LCH doesn't give. Multi-mission means it give you capabilities to perform several different type of mission. It doesn't means that you can always perform multiple type of missions in same sortie.
I believe most of 20 mm ammo is stored along the floor of ALH but I have to confirm this. Give me some time for confirmation.

The most optimum method to employ them is to put the infantry/SF team in a normal Dhruv and send a Rudra to escort it.

After the Dhruv deploys the shooters and leaves, the Rudra can stay behind to provide CAS (or perform CASEVAC using the limited space left in cabin, should be enough for a stretcher).

Basically, ALH is the twin engine, big heli. Its naval version is too big to fit without tail folding etc in some ships, which increases deployment time. So Navy wants LUH, the light heli, for the smaller ships.
