India has decided to buy 156 indigenous heavy helicopters. Which is a light fighter helicopter (LCH).
The report quoted a security officer as saying that this is the biggest security deal sanctioned by the central government so far. The decision was taken at a meeting of the Cabinet Committee of Security Affairs (CCS) on Friday. The security officer said that the Ministry of Defense has signed contracts worth more than Rs 2.09 lakh crore in the current financial year. This procurement will not only increase India’s self -sufficiency in the field of security, but will also promote indigenization of weapons. So far, HAL has built 15 heavy helicopters, out of which ten are near the Indian Air Force and five LCH heavy helicopters are in service with the army. Two people can sit in LCH Prachanda. This helicopter is 15.5 feet high. It weighs 5,800 kg, including all military equipment. It can carry 700 kg of weapon.
Apache and AH-1 z wipers are expensive in terms of price
Security expert and retired military officer Vats Rohit said that there is no doubt that traditional helicopters such as LCH Prachand’s largest rival UH Apache and AH-1 Z wipers are powerful, but it is not easy to get the prohibition due to the high cost of Apache (over 30 million $ 30 million) and AH-1 Z wiper (more than $ 20) (more than $ 20), as well as a high cost of $ 20 million).
