2nd prototype of LUH lifted off.

Pretty fast development cycle, both LUH and LCH compared to Dhruv. I foresee LCA and Arjun successors going the same way, especially if all stakeholders are synced.

LCH fast ? lol , First flight 2007 and just now they actually started work on armor to save pilot. Its extremely slow sir.

First flight was 2010, LCH's development was still faster than Dhruv's, which took a very long time. But LCH was building off of that platform, however.

LUH is bigger and has a higher mtow than the MH-6 Little Bird, can it be used for similar SOF ops?

Well the LUH is meant to replace the Chetak and Cheetah and the IA already operate the Cheetah in a similar manner:

I don't see why not.
