Once you get the first step right, the subsequent products much take significant time to develop. Hopefully we are working on a Mi-17 class category of helicopters.

Very true, from the very solid base the ALH has provided HAL have been very successful in expanding their abilities and portfolio therafter. Give Indian entities and talent the time and resources and they are able to compete with the best that's for sure. Look at where the HAL rotary division was 10 years ago and where they are now, truly spectacular.

+ HAL's 10 ton IMRH will be given the offcial go ahead within the next 36 months, as of now only preliminary deisgn work has been conducted.

It will be 12.5 ton.

 

[Abingdonboy]

It will be 12.5 ton.

Are you sure bro? I've heard the IMRH will for sure be in the range of 10-13 tons but have no clue if the final specs are known as of yet.

They started with 10 ton idea but after consultations with forces they settled for 12.5-13 ton helicopter. I remember hearing this during some aero india seminar presentation video.

@Abingdonboy What role difference we have between Rudra and LCH?

And a scalpel is too tiny for blacksmithing.
To paint a room, average guy with this

does fine.
But you need a special guy with this

to paint details

like these

​

Bragging about your preference for blunt instruments is fine I guess,
but by such metrics, we'd still be bludgeoning each other with clubs.

Go Mirage 2000 I & TI jockeys, Go! Tay.

Everyone here knows Mirage were the IAF favourites..
No need tO equate soft with anything inferior..

I was surprised when pilot mentioned Meteor is too long for Lca

Awesome. ALH ( And the Family > LUH , ALH and LCH ) has been an wonderful journey so far. A Perfect exmaple why the First step is necessary, even if its long.. hard and costly.

IM sure Tejas story wont be different either.

@Abingdonboy What role difference we have between Rudra and LCH?

IMHO, Rudra is for Army ( Army Aviation ), LCh is fr IAF.

You have to break up for me, trying to imagine where I will deploy what and for what role.
