HAL LCH| Updates and Discussions

[Tshering22]

Its been 4 years and still there is no sign of induction.

LCH is becoming another Tejas. WTF is HAL doing?

 

[Dash]

Why this issue has not been raised ?

Dont know buddy, but Shakti was supposed to make it lighter, while they are still working on it, but no signs of it going into prod version of LCH. They might be working on reducing its weight by other means.

We were getting hopes up as dhruv mk3 & 4 are getting shakti engine... Which were thought to responsible for reduction in high altitude accidents"..

Now

What we haven't seen yet in the EW suite integrated(like with Rudra) onto LCH.

Im pretty sure the EW suite is in the base model.

Since they still changing the design to improve things, the integration of EW systems might not have priority at the moment.

India has good graphic designer/artists, Indian Military should hire them and they will decide better camo and design for the military hardware. Military experts collaborate with them, give them a knowledge about the military hardware and they will design + suggest camo. Right now its lookg soo ugly bcuz of this shity camo.

Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder.in my eyes,it is a really gorgeous looking camo.

the camo of LCH is damn ugly, I'm sorry I tell the truth.

We built It to give nightmare to our enemies

T always think the paint job of Some PLA weapons really suck, this is even worse. The camo so cheap make it looks funny.

The cabin layout is disproportionate, the pilot get exposed too much. It's a flaw design.

Oh Yea!!!!!Its a TD not even a Final design. And you arrived in conclusion that it is a flawed design ,you must be heck of aero engineer.Salute
Here TD 3 with armoured plates and design changes. TD 4 will also come online by next year.

Looks don't matter, if it is operationally effective is the real question.

4 years is nothing when talking about the development of complex systems such as this. The fact that the project was started in 2010 and the first units could be inducted into service by 2016/17 is pretty remarkable in itself.

Its a low visibility digital cameo.

bro, first flight flew in 2010 and the project started in 2006.... 4 years is too much time for just a minor development...

Fair enough. 4 years (2006-2010) to produce the first prototype and about 10 years (2006-2016) to go from sanction to in operational service is no small achievement. The fact is you are not simply designing a flying machine (that is hard enough) but a weapons delivery machine which brings about a whole new level of complexity (testing, validation, certification etc etc) this is an area where India has very little experience so one can only praise the efforts of HAL in this regard. The Eurocopter Tiger and Z-10 have very similar timelines.

Rudra is a minor development, since it's a modification of the available version. LCH might have common systems, but is a complete re-design and the first one we do, which explains why they have to re-work the design so often, also that it's far more than a minor development.
