dont start making conclusion from looking at a proto type ,it just took HAL so many years even it is based on there AHl still the major hurdle would be to integrate weapon system & optrics ,ECW etc . this copter will still be a basic version of cobra which pak is going to replace soon.
just google what CHINA has in its kitty. no offence simple comparison.

And No one here is making comparison to chinese products, LCH will pave our way forward, and yes, this is not as bad as you think, this can still be more deadly when its made lighter, its rate of climb and manuverability will be increased considerably....

And For your kind information it took HAL only 4 years to develop it, Hindustan Aeronautics Limited announced its plans to build a Light Combat Helicopter in 2006. Funds for the design and development of the Light Combat Helicopter to meet the requirements of the Indian Army and the Indian Air Force were sanctioned in October, 2006.

So We are well on track buddy

What a contradictory post
Firstly You say its a prototype , so no conclusion should be drawn
And in Next line you - yourself conclude that it will be inferior to basic COBRA design which Pakistan air-force is retiring.

If you want comparison - Plz post these details and we can discuss in detail

What is Hpower of Engine on Cobra?
What the operational range , rate of climb , operational altitude
What fuselage design Cobra has ?
What IR and signature reduction measure are in place in Cobra?
Whats the A2A missile used by Cobra?
Which anti-tank missile is used by Cobra?
What is caliber of Gun mounted on Cobra?
Finally the unit price of each Cobra sold to pakistan

Let me put my perspective ,
Here is link comparing all specs of LCH wrt to other class apart Helis, so if you want to compare LCH plz provide above enlisted details

China can have all it wants in its kitty.. See if we care. It surely will be a rip off from some existing designs obtained through espionage or blatant copyright violations... so stop gloating about your Chinese superior military might.. too hoots for that.

Just for your information since you seem to be totally out of the loop with regard to HAL heli divisions capabilities, the Weapons and Sensors are already being tested on a "weponised" version of Dhruv.

Please take your rant elsewhere Thank you very much.

Why are you feeling hot coals???

From where china comes into this thread???????

Go and troll somewhere else.

 

[tidu]

it looks great ,but i hv few doubts ,to make it stealthier many things in its prototype has to be changed eg. the landing gears ,the heat exhaust,the weaopns on its wings etc,i hd seen a episode on comanche ,indian lch looks like the comanche

LCH

its photoshopped buddy

 

[sancho]

The Indian Air Force (IAF) has said that it needs 65 LCHs; the army wants another 114. If the development programme is not delayed further, the LCH will enter service by 2015-2016.

But HAL remains confident since most of the key technologies in the LCH — e.g., the Shakti engine, the rotors and the main gearbox — have already been proven in the Dhruv Advanced Light Helicopter

Don't know but his reports aren't really realiable these days (combat helicopter competition was reissued!), but if the induction is planed only in 5-6 years it really would surprise me!
What do they want to test for such a long time, if all important parts are already proven?

well as far as comparison or draging pak , these machine will have to face CHINA and PAKISITAN its its destiny which you cant ignore so comparison is for sure help you understand where your machine stand.
as far as manuverability is concerned ,does it help to evade a locked missile.
so going by your comments like" its lighter hence more manuverable" is just a **** when same guys call your su30mki more manuverable even its huge.
dear sir's it stand no chance in front of heavy weight contenders like apachi,hind etc.

Thank you for your information....Now don't spoil the party and enjoy the pictures of LCH....even you are invited arent they great?? man I love them..

can anyone tell me the exact cost of this beast?

 

[Kinetic]

Thats because we do not have any other organization to make...... Slowly TATA,Mahindra and L&T and coming into this field.... So DRDO will have tough competition, but still there products will be limited to aircrafts,MBT or Submarines, no bombs, as it comes under MOD

Firstly, DRDO with much less budget comparable to other R&D orgs around the world doing everything needed for keeping the country safe.

DRDO developing bombs whether it is nukes or conventional! DRDO was part of India's nuke development programme along with DAE. For conventional bomb note new Sudarshan.

And DRDO is not one organization, its a collective name given to 44 establishments , so everyone is assigned different work

DRDO is an organization and it has many labs and related establishments.

What is Indias counterpart to hell fire missile that would be used on LCH? If i am not wrong NAG is your anti tank missile, will NAG equip LCH for anti tank role?
