Yes ,nice question but india needs them on fast track basis,as Mi35 has lived his life,& AH-64D Block III APACHE is the most advanced attack helicopter in the world right now
well i think ,it may be the last foreign made attack helicopter in our airforce.

IAF is procuring Apache or Mi 28 to replace Mi 35s, so this has nothing to do with them, because this is refering to IAs air wing.

Like Marcos98 showed, MBDA Mistral, but A2A won't have much importance for this helicopter, because the main aim is transport troops and give fire support to them, be it with the gun, rockets, or ATGMs.

according to Hindu mythology Rudra means "Hunting God" or according to Sanskrit it means "The Archer"

Yes, I agree with you. The real fire support will come from LCH and heavy copters.
