Ok jeff one of your ridiculously long posts which no one bothers answering because its such a pain in the arse to read but here goes......
1)Your questions are not really questions just attempts at being clever.
ergo most of us can't be bothered with it.
seriously its tedious going through your posts.
2)I give the Dhruv as much dignity as any Indian made product I pray I never have to trust the guys at HAL
3)Ah yes German design but hey lets take all the credit.....
Do the words Bk-117 ring any bells?
Go take a look seriously its like the Dhruv! the same way the ARJuN looks like early model leopards!!!! I bet the Indian designers came up with it all by themselves !!!
In July 1984, HAL started development of a new 12-seat helicopter known as the ALH (Advanced Light Helicopter) which was designed with assistance from MBB in Germany. It followed a similar layout to that of the BK-117 although it is a larger aircraft.

4)According IAI it developed the avionics..........take a look at my post above
5) nope the Turbomecca site claims their engine is the sole engine in the Dhruv and I will believe them. Jointly made engine huh? what did you bring to the table?
The rest of your post was drivel Jeff......I have given my sources where are yours please?
Anyone konws when the LCH is going to be ready.
Some reports say it should be ready by early 2009.
