If that happens, it'll most likely be based on the HAL IMRH.

No different to how LCH was morphed from Dhruv.

It bet I looks better in the army's jungle camo...green

HAL should privatize the production line to increase the rate of production and better quality and concentrate on developing variants of the LCH and maybe a medium-heavy attack helo.

This is not even in use by the IA. You expect someone else to buy before that? Please use sense before posting.

Good job HAL.

I actually found this forum looking for the first images of this at it's first flight. Time flies.

Last TDs.

You can see some frame changs due to results from feedback from trials.

Totally unnecessary, do you know this was developed for high altitude warfare?

And this place is not for false flaggers, show your true colors and flags. What a shame for a person with no country.

This guy is a false flagger, he has no shame. Tell me how any person who left his country live with his head held high?
