Where are the Planes on this ship?

So atleast now can we see some Dhruv's with Mihir sonars being inducted into the navy for ASW roles..Anti-submarine defenses are equally concerning. The Indian Navy only has 10 Ka-28s, and only 4 of those are operational. That deficit, plus a Sea King fleet that is small, old, and needs improvements, makes anti-submarine defense a big concern.
I think the Navy soon announce a order to acquire Maritime Helicopter Tender something like the foreigners have Sea Hawk and NH 90 in Similar roleSo atleast now can we see some Dhruv's with Mihir sonars being inducted into the navy for ASW roles..

Some Dhruv can inducted in mean time. How can you accept just four helicopters to serve seven vessels and add to that some placed at Western Fleet and Eastern Fleet ?I think the Navy soon announce a order to acquire Maritime Helicopter Tender something like the foreigners have Sea Hawk and NH 90 in Similar role

New Kolkata class are coming this month and they too need ASW helicopters.
About the MRH, some reports say that IN would be using Mihir dunked sonars on them too. So they can deploy the Mihir on ALH and get the feedback from navy guys and develop it into a better system. This would also help in development of other variant of Mihir too
The discussion is about shipborne ASW platforms.BTW how can the Rudra solve the ASW problem ?more specific , we should induct some Rudras. I read somewhere that navy was pleased with its ASW capabilities.
.
and indian ASW is not lacking but recovering . Many modern ships are ASW , and not to forget p8i poseidon
