Neither is possible. neither helicop nor the small range Nag missile. "Critical mass" denied for it.More like Nag with uranium glued at front

Damn buddy don't reply to anything on the netNeither is possible. neither helicop nor the small range Nag missile. "Critical mass" denied for it.
No further weight reduction is possible, albeit a slight increase in the baseline Shakti's output is on the cards for the LUH. Don't compare ballistic missiles to hepters, its an apt example of comparing apples and oranges and ergo just as futile...weight shaving on the Agni occurred through a whole different article (A-4) and that too in a completely unrelated technical area as far as hepters are concerned.
@BLACKGOLD Sling me and @Capt.Popeye on either side- we'll make short work of the enemy, what say you captain?
If "Radioactive Fallout" is the only criterion; then I hope to be equal to the task while you go on and Nuke Naswaristan !
That said; not too much weight can be shaved off from the ALH; unless the co-pilot and his seat are removed! Of course power can be augmented.
On another note: the IN is slowly absorbing the Dhruv in increasing numbers; albeit in a shore-based role given the lack of automatic folding rotors. But nevertheless it will help to sustain the rotor-craft numbers at least for some time.
@Capt.Popeye @Dillinger how many Dhruvs will navy buy?? They had issues with dhruvs right??
Navy's induction of new platform is going very smoothly while IAF n Army are suffering
In the first place; the IN insisted that the Dhruv should have auto-folding rotor blades since its more or less a rule that IN Helos must be able to operate either from ship-board and/or from ashore.
like heliborne operations, and armed patrol
It's good news that the IN is inducting such advanced assets for SAR roles- this is good for the entire nation of India.
However not only should this role fall to the ICG ideally, but I don't think the Dhruv is the best asset for shore-based SAR roles given its range limitations. You really need a long-range Medium class helo for this sort of mission (ie S-92,AW-101, S-70 etc) ideally.
I'd like to see pics of this:
While it does that for the ICG, which is why the ICG is not averse to acquiring the Dhruvs, while IN is.
Think about it. 2 engines build an added layer of redundancy into the system. If a single-engined helo loses power over land it can switch to auto-rotation and find a suitable place to land. If this happens over water- were is a suitable place to land? More than likely they'll have to ditch and this is clearly a pretty grim prospect.@Capt.Popeye : Why are single engined helicopters unsafe for maritime roles in particular? I mean, engine failure would be equally catastrophic for land based ops as well, right? Since the pilots/crew can't eject in either case...
