I do agree though I will add we can start with a small order and push them to accelerate the process of induction of weapons at a faster pace.They are not gonna be unarmed, you know that. Weapon platforms will be inducted gradually but that doesn't mean we don't buy it. Placing order will help the production line become functional properly. Keeping such programs in limbo will lead to more imports and death of such indigenous program.
Yes, you won't buy a car without a fuel tank, though the comparison is lame I will still say I personally will go ahead and buy a car without a music system Air Conditioner and even airbags.Will u buy a car without a fuel tank?
LCH can have multiple roles.Then LCH are going to be only utilized for Obersation roles ?
The car without such assesories will run. And will drop you to your destination. However, car can't run without fuel. It's the same with ATTACK helis. Their main purpose is to attack and not to fly for aerobatics.I do agree though I will add we can start with a small order and push them to accelerate the process of induction of weapons at a faster pace.

And they can attack by using their rocket launchers and guns, and super maneuverability is the key. They are in the process of getting indigenous ATGM for it and meanwhile a stop gap measure is also in the process. So, stop doubting.The car without such assesories will run.

Actually Mi-17s are not that slow. US & NATO countries use Chinook with mounted minigun as light CAS. Plus Mi-17 can carry a formidable amount of firepower with them.LCH can have multiple roles.
During kargil war mi 17 were used to launch rockets at Paksitani posts. This of course was a bad idea because they were huge slow without any counter and not so Manuvervale.
If another such situation arise LCH can be used to level a post on heights like this.
LCH are small so Radars will have a hard time detecting them in mountains
They are fast so they will hit and run away quickly.
They have counter measures like flair and maybe Infrared Jammer in the future.
They are manuverable as fuck so no they will turn sharp corners.
They have protection to 7.62 round so no random paki can bring them down with their heirloom machine guns.
During kargil war we used to send soldiers to climbers mountain to get close to Paki post
Due to height advantage they used to inflict heavy casualties on us. Now if we had LCH at the time we could just send the helicopter to lay a barrage of rockets on their post to either terminate them or put them on backfoot to give advantage to our adavancing units.
Other than this they will patrol an area before troop movement and dislodge any threat if necessary.
Any flying object with metal propellers appears like bright-sun on radar screens. So not really applicable. But yeah, you are correct on other points.LCH are small so Radars will have a hard time detecting them in mountains
It should also be noted that during Kargil, apart from Mirage-2000 we lacked any jet which can deliver ordinance with high accuracy on small-target like mountain-top bunkers. Even during that, I remember we hastily bought some GBU kits from Israel/America.Due to height advantage they used to inflict heavy casualties on us. Now if we had LCH at the time we could just send the helicopter to lay a barrage of rockets on their post to either terminate them or put them on backfoot to give advantage to our advancing units.
Didn't know anything about this, I assumed a heavy heli would have a hard time at gaining speed.Actually Mi-17s are not that slow. US & NATO countries use Chinook with mounted minigun as light CAS.
But weren't these tactics used to make up for the lack of accuracy in the helis. Now a hellfire would do the job of a single rocket pod.Plus Mi-17 can carry a formidable amount of firepower with them.
During Kargil war, as the image you posted, Mi-8/17s were armed with 6x 80mm Rocket Pods each carrying 20 rockets each
I drew my conclusion mostly based on this.Any flying object with metal propellers appears like bright-sun on radar screens. So not really applicable. But yeah, you are correct on other points.
In any conflicts involving mountainous terrain, airpower is critical to get an upper hand and minimize friendly losses.@mist_consecutive
Say we try to capture Gilgit where do u think Pakis will position themselves.
There will be multipel points of Incursion throughout the borders, they would have to occupy some important positions if they have to defend an area.
A mountain Ridge overlooking a road, bridge city will do.
I think LCH will play an important role in taking back POK.
Jusy order a good 100+ for army and 50+ for Air force. We should then gradually move on to HCH platform to fill the gaps of Mi 35 that are gonna retire soon.Another fantastic photo of #IAF LCH at Ladakh . This fantastic bird will rule the sky. With Mistral 2 ATAM and Spike-ER ATGM it will dominate the battlefield.
Hal lch with airforce........
Mark the tail numberLooks like td4..you can spot civilian s, probably from hal......View attachment 55856
Ohh my God. This country should apologise to you. You should write a email to PMO, MOD, and HAL in order to attract their attention that LCH is being deliver without having capability of ATGM. Because ATGM instalation will take minimum 50years so no reason to order it
Leave it. For whatever reason , he is very anti Indian products.So you feel Pakis will get scared without weapons and missile on this machine. You really are grossly underestimating..
Without intended weapon platforms, the helicopter can not even be used for training.. but buy it... !!!
Seriously. They come with guns and rockets. Similar to the Mi 26 which is All that they carry.Will u buy a car without a fuel tank?
BdwLeave it. For whatever reason , he is very anti Indian products.
But that being said. I’m reading osint saying spike er will be integrated for immediate deployment, while drdo ATGM will be integrated after trials completeion.
