@fsayed , the LCH you see today isn't the final product, and the figures that you used are guesstimates at best. We should wait till the final prototype of LCH rolls out before making any comparisons.

oh FISH!!! I think I saw the TD3 fly already. Didn't realize it coz I thought that it was another ALH (they fly them all the time after making them). The yellow exterior heli was most probably TD 3. (and yeah if they say that they are test flying a heli at 2.30 today, then it generally means it's been flying for a week- they always declare dates that are well after the true test flight dates).

@fsayed : Rudra won't be able to carry passengers like the Dhruv. So far I've seen Rudra carry one extra person other than the 2 pilots,not any more. You will have to subtract the weight of the armaments,ammo,fuel and other systems from the load carrying capacity of Dhruv to get what Rudra can carry.

Don't compare an inducted heli with a prototype.

LCH in its protoype stage remarkably better than Z 19 on the basis of Specs.Let see its performance after its induction.

Looks the cockpit area has add on armor.

Could be the composite heli armor they developed.

What? It's a thread about TD-3, why would you post all the other prototypes?

Especially when this one has design changes over the other two..
