1. Indian forces to get local choppers even before formal contract
Indian forces facing China’s aggression in Ladakh will shortly receive indigenous attack helicopters which have proven their worth in high altitude areas during recent tests, adding muscle to the airborne fleet that currently consists of AH 64E Apache choppers.

Officials said the Army and Air Force will receive a light combat helicopter (LCH) each by March, even before formal orders have been placed, as the production programme is on and necessary certifications have been received. “In recent tests by the armed forces in high altitude areas of Ladakh, the helicopters demonstrated that they can operate with adequate payloads,” Hindustan Aeronautics Limited chairman R Madhavan told ET.

He said the helicopters can be produced in quantities required by the forces. The LCH will also be among the premium offerings by India at the upcoming AeroIndia show, where potential foreign customers are expected to go for test flights as well. Officials believe the LCH has good export potential in the region.
