HAL Advanced Light Helicopter Dhruv

Nah, he released another picture a month ago(looks pretty much the same), but these pictures are better.

Yes, they have released it, but in a static ground platform, this is the first one with the actual weapon system

You launch the helo version before you even get the ground version in operation. That's messed up priorities.

Thats a retarded comment. On the battlefield which do you think will be more effective for an anti tank missile with a 4 km ground launched range v a 10 km air launched range.?

looks like size of helina and nag is same Or they r just testing it to see if it can be launched from air.

All we need now is a supervisor with a belt in his hand walking around, when ever the Indian gets a thought to do lazy finish job, he needs to get belted. That will do a massive increase in quality control.

Never heard any complains in terms of quality from HAL but rate of production, Need masses of Rudra & LCH so does Dhruvs..

I think IA has the Javelin for now as a ManPad and would like to replace it with Nag later on. The Helina is a more urgent need.

Nice animation of how HELINA works.

A great video of Dhruv (sorry it's in Hindi onlyee) -

My Wishlist - add a door mounted A minigun
Would have limited use for the kind-off roles depicted in the above video, but could be useful when moving troops in & out of a hot zone/ rescue - ops for downed pilots etc...
