What are you a 3 grade kid?
That stupid diagram of your won't prove anything....
Where is the scale? what are the parameters you have taken into account before drawing that cone of visibility?
If you want to troll find another thread..

Are you schizophrenic? You definitely appear so.

The best part of LCH and RUDRA family is their very very high T/W ratio. Their T/W ratio is 2 times higher than the T/W ratio of chopper like WZ=10. They are all set to get (Or they might have got) 20% higher thrust engine. This makes these chopper family an unique family which can operate at very high altitude and carry phenomenal load at high altitude and fly very fast.

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 not full load) all the way to its altitude ceiling!! Definitely unique!!
That said, WZ-10 is getting an engine replacement to enable it to carry more payload. The original payload capacity was laughable (the ones they ceremoniously gifted to Pakistan).

Helina launcher
So, they changed Helina from being tube-launched to rail-launched? Or is this the tube itself ( looks unlikely)??.

If this is the tube (for Helina to be housed) where are the cooling probes?

I am confused. If anyone has more info, please share.

Looks like the Tube in which the Heline will be housed, you can see the front opening are mounted on hinges ie they will open up to reveal the missile at the time of launch.

Other than that absolute NO info was released as this is the first time anyone has seen this!, we will have to wait till Aeroindia start - to get more info, so patience :)

That makes sense. Just curious to see all 'perspectives' of this new 'tube'. Maybe the opening for cooling probes are on the inside (not visible in the picture). At first glance it looks like an 'uninterrupted' tube.

Here is an informative defence writer/blogger

http://trishul-trident.blogspot.ae/

Search for Nag/Helina and pretty much you will get all the info that is currently available + pays to read the comment section of each article as the author gets alot of questions that are related to defence and HE answers most of it with the Info he has ... A pretty good read - you too can ask anything you want, hopefully - he will give u a direct answer ( ie no beating around the bush)
