not sure who composed this Scorpene's don't have boilers
only focus on lch not others. I think author confused with viki and scorpene.
viki having some issues with boilers, which is solved by the construction/modification, i think.
Scorpene's delay due to price, tot i think, I'm not sure in both cases. old news.
The point is - LCH already completed all test, but delay is due to atgm, now hal started lsp, still no quad pack.

What! How?.. Please read & understand my words before replying.

I can't find any photo of your Mangusta with more than 8 (LCH is restricted to that only at Ladakh altitude). In plains LCH can have 12 ATGMs, against Apache's 16, or this combo...

Just its rocket pods are smaller & are in same weight class as 2-ATGM rack, so to carry 8 ATGMs with rockets Iike the common gunship loadout it'll have to carry those on the outer hardpoint.
Refer this one!

Does it use its onboard radar or someone paints those tanks.
AFAIK there's no radar in LCH.

The helo uses onboard opronic devices to acquire/launch the helina missiles. Helina uses IIR(imaging infrared) seeker to home-in on the tanks/targets.

There has been helina tests in HAL Rudra(ALH WSI).

However no news regarding the integration of helina missiles in LCH as of now.

ALH MKIII(MR) is the only Helo that has a radar as of now.
