Got a little confused.. So, how many HAL Rudras are in service...?

IA has 3 SQNs in service, maybe 4 today. IAF has over 30.

IA has ordered so far about 100 and IAF 65. Production is going well

How is it possible to say that Rudra is without ATGM even though the above pic shows 4 ATGMs? Did you mean that Helina is still not operationalized?

Those are not HELINA. Those are MISTRAL.


HELINA is not yet inducted.

But the description beneath says Helina.. Hence I quoted so.

 

[Kunal Biswas]

she has a much greater range(>30%) than the TVS Apache Echo.
Edit:FYI, DEAD is Destruction of Enemy Air Defences
CSFO is Counter Surface Force Operations
ESC to SHBO is Escort to Special Heliborne Operations
RPA is Remotely Piloted Aircraft.

Is there any plan to develop an extended version of ALH Dhruv?

Cool photo ops.
This is what I call PR and advertising.

These pics ooze coolness.

Mistral does have a ground attack ability based on IR signatures but it wouldn't do much against an MBT. It would shred light armoured vehicles.

Thank you. It was a new information to me as I was thinking that Mistral was an air-to-air missile for helicopters. However, in that picture, I see cannisterized missiles which I have seen for helina only. The mistrals I believe don't have a cannister. Besides it was written below also that the Rudra was holding 4 helina. Hence I was wondering why it was mentioned that Rudra was w/o an ATGM?

Mistral will always come in a canister. It is part of the launch mechanism.
