Indian Army needs variety of helicopters for its mission roles ..such as
1-Dedicated Attack Helicopters
2-Attack helicopters with troop carrying capacity
3-Recon mission helicopters
4-Heavy Lift helicopters
5-Medium Lift helicopters
Since Indian army has such wide range of missions ....they surely need dedicated Air wing...for that according to my opinion ...for
1-Dedicated Attack Helicopter---we should procure 120 KA-50-2 for desert operation...another 100 AH-64D Appache
2-Attack helicopters with Troop capacity---for that Indian Army should accquire 90 Mi 35 hind ...nothing like that exsist in NATO weaponry ...although if gunship version of V-22..is developed ..not a bad option
3-Recon Mission -advance version with sensors ALH dhruv would be good and cheap alternative
4-Heavy Lift helicopters - i would suggest Mi 26 halo ...not for kashmir region but everywhere else ..it can carry amroued personal carrier
5-Medium Lift ...i would suggest V-22 ( although not helicopter but works like one ..with higher service selling ..would be good for Kashmir and high altitude region )
