A very befitting name for the LCH.

Do anyone know how many ALH and ALH-WSI are with IA and IAF?

I have the following data but I am not sure if the numbers are correct.

Name	Indian Army	Indian Air Force
ALH Dhruv	141	123
ALH Rudra	58	16
HAL Prachand LCH	95(Planned)	65(Planned)
HAL LUH	126(Planned)	61(Planned)

Redesigning. ~45kg ATGM with 4km range is below par at modern standards.

Why new missile? Why not just use the MPATGM on the NAMICA ??

MPATGM have 2.5km range. A redesigned ATGM under 45kg weight can achieve a range of 10km. Or they can slash the ATGM weight to half/ 22kg and still retain 4-5km range

The newest spike variants offer atleast twice the range at less than half of the weight of Nag.

I thought the 4km range was more a limitation in place due to LOBL, not due to rocket motor.

What about the warhead weight of Spike vs Nag?

Will it affect the development of helina or dhruvastra as both are based on nag mk1

What about the warhead weight of Spike vs Nag?

Warhead weight not an issue. Vehicle Launched Spike ER-2 which is 20% lighter than Nag, have 150% more range than Nag. And can do every job, from anti-tank to anti-personnel to anti-structure.

Yes. But that's only a platform. Nag Mk. 2 will come before that.
