Israel Space Agency to launch telescope on Indian satellite

The requirement for AALHs seems to be coming from the Army(~60) and not the Air Force which has a requirement of ~60 LCH. That leads me to the question, why are they duplicating efforts to build a force of attack helicopters? The LCH in its current avatar is not very different in capabilities from t...

Have any of the Indian customers ordered the Israeli avionics upgrade? IAI website says that it makes ALH capable of day and night operations, plus looking at the picture I think it even includes the helmet mounted aiming (look what the pilot on the left is wearing). May be useful for the armed ALH ...

Thanks for the report. Did you take any pictures of the cockpit?

Abhaey, Impressive! Very good summation of Aero India. Please write more often.

Would you happen to have a higher resolution picture of the hyper plane? Any more information on it?

Excellent video, Shiv! Many thanks. I am glad somebody like you lives in Bangalore.

This LCA demo reminds me of Blue Angels over the Bay.

Any reason why a Mig-25/31 is shown carrying the Brahmos? It is probably being configured for Russian Mig-31s but who else operates 25/31 who might be interested?

I was always under the impression that BVR was limited to pressing "fire" buttons on the joystick but this exercise makes it clear that even after having similar equipment, one man's BVR tactics/capability are not the same as others. Also, the 20km number for firing missiles seems too clos...

By the way, any information on the initial operational capability for Nishant. It passed army evealuation but we never found out what number is in production. Did anybody ask?

The Brahmos pictures posted by Shiv settle the issue of maritime VLS launch. And I know that the Brahmos site, if it ever comes back up, supports this hypothesis that the VLS launch is only for land based systems. I had read the same information at Brahmos.com some time back. The inclined fitting on...

One more thing, was the Lancer there? Did anybody find out about the exercise demo they had of a Lancer with two ALH? Operational capability, effect in payload due to the pods and bullet proof canopy? With all the team work going on in Indian projects, they should find a partner like the Israelis wh...

It'd be an understatement to say that the LCH design was way under utiliized. The armed version of the ALH seems more potent than this. LCH should benefit a lot in weight advantage from the squeezing and removal of the cabin. Yet, the payload shown was the same as armed-ALH. Also, stub wings instead...

Thanks Ashutosh for putting in the time. Very helpful. One question though. Naval Brahmos is not vertically launched, so in a configuration like the one they have on Rajput, how would you fire at a target some where in your rear field of view i.e. six'o clock? Even if Brahmos was able to make a ueuy...

There is an intrinsic assumption here that the ALH was even considered a choice by Reliance. HAL cannot do anything unless it has been asked for price quotes. Also, ALH is an unproven craft over a long period of time. To a civilian user, high availability and safety rank higher than cheaper and &quo...
