And BTW, there is no language called Hindu
Self explanatory...but it reminds me of North Americans asking me, "Do you speak Hindu?"
Re: Prachand LCH: News & Discussion: 03 October 2022

Who the heck was taking this shot in front of a 60+ ton armor on the roll and deafening sounds of rotors.
Re: Prachand LCH: News & Discussion: 03 October 2022
And that’s the Arjun right ?

The tank is static most likely or very slow speed. No one in their right mind will stand in front of a tank to take a photo where you need to adjust for a heptr flying overhead. Plus, look at the sprocket in the second photo.
Re: Prachand LCH: News & Discussion: 03 October 2022
Lets not knock what is still an impressive photo. It is hard to just stand beneath a rotor downwash, let alone adjust camera and take a photo with all the dust swirling about.
Re: Prachand LCH: News & Discussion: 03 October 2022
^ Great photo
Technically both the Tank and the Helo (in hover) can be stationery for photo purposes.
Secondly nowadays the camera person can operate the camera remotely (mounted on a stand). No need to stand in the path of the vehicles.
Not saying that it is what happened here...

That is one heck of a photo! The visual imagery makes you want more. Imagine the strength it projects if 200 Prachands and a 1000 Arjuns stare across the battlefield at the enemy!

Laser guided 70mm rockets with a variety of warheads. Now being tested with anti-armour warheads. Very interesting. We ought to start developing something similar. Almost all our helicopters would be able to fire these rockets. Even for ground attack from Jaguars, this would be potentially cheap solution.

From the photo it looks like a new or modified launcher, different from what has been used with the ALH Mk-IV Rudra helicopters.Rakesh wrote: https://twitter.com/alpha_defense/statu ...

Only 15 numbers seem to be too small a quantity. Each helicopter will need 2. The Helina has been cleared for use with the Rudra. don't know what the hold up is with regards to the LCH. The IAF variant is known as Dhruvastra. No idea what is the difference between the regular helina variant.

Army Chief says they will purchase 95 Prachands and 110 LUHs. At least for the Prachands, they can place the order before March 31 and consume their Capex. Putting money where their mouths are.The Army is looking at procuring the LUHs and LCHs to replace its ageing fleets of Cheetah and Chetak helicopters.
Will they?

Prem Kumar, Let's try to find pictures of the end effects of the 20mm turret gun.
I believe its made by Nexter.
