What is wrong with Indian made Dhruva or Rudra? Or Foreign maals are better than Desi maal?

dhruv is not attack chopper and rudra is multirole chopper and not a dedicated attack helicopter. LCH is still in prototype phase and it will be used for higher altitude. And LCH, rudra both are light weight and apache is heavy weight

@Pulkit , airforce is happy cause it was job of IAF to conver army using helicopter and give them support by aerial attacks and for anti tank warfare and now this job is handed to aviation corps of army
.

By that we can assume that ....
But as fas as the air power is concerned IAF always wanted it to be in there hands ....

In addition to it training of the Army pilots and they achieving full capability is a difficult job and given that task will be in hands of IAF i believe they will not be very happy and surely reluctant.....

Its just a point of view nothing more than that...

indian army aviation corps will get 39 apache helicopters after delivery of 22 helicopters to IAF. The internet has approved the decision to purchase iconic america made helicopter in three squadrons.

What the hell has "internet" to do with attack helicopters purchase.

 

[Pulkit]

Just to add to it.....
I dont deny Apache is a completely different machine than our LCH or Rudra and we do need them by yes the day when the time will come to choose a Light heli will come our defense forces will surely run to find a fault in them and thus leading to a foreign toy....

Sad irritated angry on the news of FOC delay....

@Pulkit those who will pass IAF exams will get place in army aviation corps.
.
it wasn't an air power but air support and there can be different plans by IAF CHIEF and army CHIEF and the IAF pilots controlling chopper will listen to IAF chief and army will move by orders of army chief. Hence the dilemma .
.
but now army aviation corps and army both will be under supervision of army chief

sorry! I am using auto correction and I typed government and it became internet

 

[Pulkit]

Agreed as there confusion due to it at the time of kargil aswell....
but our defense forces have always been like that competing with each other instead of complimenting each other...

with more power going n the hands of army chief Airforce chief will be not happy....
Though its better for the nation as ground troops will get assistance and air support when they desire without any sort of delay....

Attack Helicopters are used in support of ground action.

Therefore, there was a disconnect when it was under the IAF.

Since the Army is responsible for the ground action, having the AH will allow a synergy in application since it will be under one command i.e. the Army. It will also make the combat airspace management easier.

Am not entirely sure on how to read the expected numbers for the AH-64D. But considering that the follow up deal is estimated to cost $2.5 billion, am expecting that these 39 extra Apache's would be over and above the 22.

I had some time back commented that at the very minimum the IA should want 68 Apaches, and not 11+22 as was being reported then. I was a bit off, but with the current numbers standing at 61, is fairly close to my estimate.

22 for IAF and 39 for IA so total 61.
