Depends on when this pic is dated but if it's from late 2013/early 2014 then yes it is the TD 3.View attachment 146149
LCH TD 3?
@Oscar @Chak Bamu Can you make this thread a stick thread ? And also colate all the posts from other LCH thread into one .
Nice catch! The new design of the windows on the TD 3 (and thus on the production standard LCHs) is much better as the pilots are not as exposed, I always thought this was one of the biggest issues with the past design (TD 1 and 2).Must be, check the changes at the windows:

Yea they covered the Windows with armour plates and also I see the wings are more angled upwards.Must be, check the changes at the windows:

Hey @Water Car Engineer ,
Any detail about TD3? Why it took so long time to come? What are the changes made? Weight reduction?
You know as much as I do. It was supposed to cut weight and be redesigned slightly. It's supposed to be the closest to the production version.
The thing we cant see from that picture is the landing gear's cover design. The weapons boom looks the same.
Fortunately, or unfortunately I met an HAL official who works on the final assembly line for ALH and Rudra. He said Shakti engine is not being used anymore as it failed. So its only Turbomecha getting fitted to all choppers as is.
