ALH Mk-IV successfully completed all weapons test successfully year ago and entered into production recently .

They are doubtful about the production machine's flight not the developmental test flights.Bur they are sure about Ground tests of the same.
'
In that case, why is it that Dhruv-WSI hasn't received IOC yet??

Or has it received IOC and it hasn't been reported?

So, IOC is being given after the machine has entered production???? Isn't it odd?? I mean, isn't the whole point of IOC is to certify that the equipment is now ready to be in service with Indian Armed forces?

IOC is achieved when the first production model is inducted.

So, it is obvious production starts before IOC is given. :)

Then how come Tejas got its first IOC in 2011, and the second IOC will also be given before induction of SP1?
