Indian army seeks further improvements in HAL light utility helicopter.

This is BS. Auto Pilot system is something purely related to software. They can be updated even after induction. IDRW is bs source anyway. Our software including for Tejas is being refined as we speak.

Is there any attack variant of LUH being worked on? Like the US mh6 Little Bird

The Cabinet Committee had given sanction for the procurement of 39 AH-64 Apache attack helicopters from the U.S. Following this, the IAF had inducted 22 Apaches under a deal signed in September 2015 following which the government has decided any further Apache procurements would go to the Army. In line with this, India signed a deal for six more Apaches, for the Army, at a cost of around $800 mn in February 2020. There is a slight delay in deliveries of the Apaches due to the COVID pandemic.

While the Army has been pushing the case for 11 more Apaches, the Chief of Defence Staff (CDS) recently ordered a study on the number of armoured helicopters required which is expected to commence end-November or early-December. So, officials said, the call on additional Apaches would be taken once the study was complete. The Army currently operates 75 Rudra, the armed version of the Advanced Light Helicopter.

Nothing wrong with the gun.

Nothing wrong with the gun.

It was so inaccurate u saw the vdo there is nothing wrong no gun is 100% precise but this was hitting so off the target.

Again, there was no problem with the gun. Its the targeting system which was off.

That's why, trial after trial and test after test along with intensive training is necessary before induction of any system.
