It's not right to compare both machines, our Mosquito look quite smaller, May be Mark 2 would be comparable. AH would take care of these Dragon FLYs. I wish we get LCH as soon as possible.

India's LCH completes hot weather trials, moves closer to IOC

India's Light Combat Helicopter (LCH) moved a step closer to obtaining initial operational clearance (IOC) after successfully completing hot weather trials in Jodhpur on 26 June.
Test flights were carried out in temperatures of 39 to 42º C in the Rajasthan desert, according to T Suvarna Raju, chairman of Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL), which is developing the platform.
"These were done with the involvement of customer pilots from the Indian Air Force (IAF) and the Army Aviation Corps (AAC)," he said.
Representatives from the Regional Centre for Military Airworthiness and the Directorate General of Aeronautical Quality Assurance also witnessed the week-long trials featuring the third LCH prototype (TD-3).
Both organisations are involved in securing the LCH's IOC - expected later this year - and subsequent full operational clearance. IOC was supposed to be gained in 2012.
HAL officials said the twin-engine 5.8-tonne LCH would enter limited series production by the year-end to eventually fulfil the AAC's order for 114 helicopters and the IAF's for 65 platforms.
They said this number was expected to increase, as the Indian Army planned to deploy LCH squadrons to all its 13 corps and a handful of independent formations for anti-tank operations, close air support, and battlefield surveillance.
The LCH is also being configured for anti-submarine and anti-surface vessel warfare.
HAL claimed the LCH's flight-testing in Jodhpur included a temperature survey of its engine bay and hydraulic system and overall handling qualities, especially of loads at low speeds, when its engines are deprived of oxygen in searing hot temperatures.
The LCH's 800 hp PM-33B Shakti engines have been developed jointly by HAL and France's Turbomeca.
Shakti engines also power the HAL-designed Dhruv Advanced Light Helicopter (ALH) and Rudra, its weaponised variant, both of which are in service with the IAF and the AAC.
The LCH, which made its maiden test flight in May 2010, successfully completed cold weather flight trials in India's Himalayan region of Ladakh in February.
Operating from a helipad at 4,600 m, it started on its internal batteries after an overnight stopover or 'soak' in temperatures of -18º C. After that, it operated successfully at altitudes of 6,500 m, its required service ceiling.
Officials said the LCH is scheduled to return to Ladakh over the next few weeks for 'hot and high' trials.
These will seek to validate the helicopter's ability to operate in mountainous conditions where oxygen, normally in short supply due to the altitude, is further reduced in high summer temperatures.

By the way am guessing these helos would have air conditioning.
