What's new

Defence ministry scraps tender for light utility helicopters ,Big Boost for HAL and Private players

but then again, we don't really mass produce it, can you really say we make it. So I guess at least for now, only US and Russia is accurate.

Even russia does not mass produce it as of yet..........they have just started.
But problem with russian helicopters is huge empty weight ....................as a result they can carry less missiles and stuff.

compare the empty weight of ah-64 apache and mi-28n..................mi-28 is at least 3000 kg heavier
 
Will this new LUH tender work like the AVRO replacement? I wonder.
Yes, that's exactly how it will be run- foreign firms have to tie up with an Indian partner who will lead the bid and then be in charge of domestic production. Other examples are the Mounted Gun System procurement for the IA and the LHD/LPD procurement for the IN.

This is probably the future for the Indian defence industry.....

Excellent, great move..
 
What a day it would be to see The Helicopters Branded, TATA , Mahindra and HAL.
