Yup. The Twin rotors on the Ka-50 is maintenance intensive. Would definitely prefer the Havoc over the Kamov. Then there is Apache.Mi-28N... with the new Hermes long range fire-and-forget missile, it will have no analogue in the world.
IA and IAF will be buying the LCH.I'm biased as ever but I would like to see the HAL light combat helicopter evole and be the one that India opts for in the end. We see that they can make a good utility helicopter like the Dhruv so I know they can make something competitive to fit indian needs.
Ka-50 and Havoc are the obsolete editions of these aerocraft. Ka-52 Alligator and Mi-28N Nighthunter are the upgraded versions currently in production.Yup. The Twin rotors on the Ka-50 is maintenance intensive. Would definitely prefer the Havoc over the Kamov. Then there is Apache.
As a missile with primary role being anti-armor, wouldn't a tandem shaped charge warhead be better suited for it, instead of HE Fragmentation?Mi-28N... with the new Hermes long range fire-and-forget missile, it will have no analogue in the world.
Hermes is a top-attack weapon with 1000mm penetration. No current or near future tank is going to survive.As a missile with primary role being anti-armor, wouldn't a tandem shaped charge warhead be better suited for it, instead of HE Fragmentation?
agree with you. also has decent service ceiling though not as much as our own LCH.Mi-28N... with the new Hermes long range fire-and-forget missile, it will have no analogue in the world.
i to think LCH is the best, but cant bank on First time projects,
like LCA , ARJUN......so on.
