who told you that??
There is no local assembly.Reattaching the rotors on the air frame is anything but local assembly.

Yeah,whatever,but thats also being assembled here,so in a sense,its being assembled here!

Erm that is not exactly assembly. However, the delivery is a good news. I wonder why we have not taken serious steps to boost our helis.

We don't have helicopter assembly plant. Attaching rotors like he said is not assembling

The delivery did happen. The pictures were posted yesterday, by BAH, a spotters group from HSIA.

Well, I personally think we need to boost our helis. Get some attack choppers. All I mainly hear about is for transport/rescue mission etc. For a close combat support, attack helis are worth the money and also as we have been keen on raising new infantry divisions lately.

The army is finally growing a capable air wing, helps out a lot in logistics. Now they can carry out operations without calling in the air force.

P.s. The body paint is so darn ugly. I wish they change it already.
