This is HAL coming up with a set of requirements and begging another company to share their design so they can license build it!!! HAL has been yakking about IMRH from age immemorial and all it has is a set of requirements (that too probably taken from Mi-8 etc!!). Not cool at all!!

I think the higher powered engine is already on LCH. Interestingly, newer versions of Apache and other attack helicopters all claim that their altitude ceiling is similar to that of LCH, but they never openly say that it's with ZERO payload :-) LCH is unique that it can carry decent armament (if...

Thank you!

Look who's talking! (pun intended - if you caught that drift!!!)

Are you schizophrenic? You definitely appear so.

Are you the clown that won't die??? Thought your act was done. Why don't you go perform somewhere else? Downlooking pods will just need to clear the ridge to see the entire valley and both sides of the valley. LCH/Rudra (even after clearing the ridge) cannot see the valley floor, it cannot see...

Looks naked and defenseless :-)

Is this a very old pic or new TD/LSP? Thought all the eariler TDs had the cannon and the EO pod.

But why are all those acrobatics required? If the simple solution could have been to just point the EO downwards and 'see', like how the Americans, Russians and Chinese would do. Why the Indian mid-air convulsions? Further, all those acrobatics (hovering, flying backwards etc) doesn't give any...

Somehow they've always taken the easy way out - just do a simple jugaad and get done with it!!! The new chinese attack helicopter WZ-10 (which looks and performs in a similar fashion as LCH) did get the EO pod placement correct (just like all other 'successful' attack helos) Just look at the...

I hope they didn't do the design abomination for the sake of good looks, the down facing EO pod does give most helicopters a 'chipmunk' look. Sounds silly, but one under reported aspect about weapons selection is all about looks. The primary reason for F35 being selected over Boeing X-32 was...

Not for me. Perhaps to you it was SAD news :-)

Too late...you're in the world!

You still haven't answered the question: What is the downside for flipping the EO pod orientation?? But you keep beating around the bush!!! Not sure how many times I have to explain about the T129 (that's essentially A129). A129 was not designed for a fully rotatable EO pod!!! T129 just...

(Even though I don't know the innards of the structural design) I seriously don't think it should be such a hard thing to do. Some structural changes will have to be made - but none should effect the overall design! I feel that they took the easy way out from a design perspective. I am trying...

Dude!! I think I've started liking you - you actually took my advice and dropped the 'copper' word!!! I am so pleased with this improvement in you. The rest of your...whatever, well....we'll keep working on it. There's always hope :-) Not sure what this rambling is about. The three pictures...

Anyone know the latest status on Helina?

You indeed are a nutcase who cannot think, even if you have to protect yourself from repeated public humiliations. My issue was that an EO pod that has full rotational capability should be allowed to see in all directions!! The Germans are not idiots (like yourself), the EO pod in the picture...

Also, I was being conciliatory earlier and thought it was cute that you produced all these pictures of different helicopters. Now that I know that you're a confirmed moron, I might as well give you an education!! The different 'placements' that you refer to in the attached pictures are not for...

You indeed are such a COMPLETE IDIOT to suggest that Rudra will need another helicopter alongside that will have its EO pod pointing downwards!! Why cannot Rudra have its own EO pod oriented that way??? Morons like you (having folded and strapped up one leg), huddle with another moron doing the...
