HAL delivers first three Dhruv helicopters to Indian Army

Bengaluru, Feb 22 (PTI) The HAL Friday delivered the first three Advanced Light Helicopters named Dhruv as part of the 22 ALH MK-III contract to the Indian Army during the ongoing Aero India air show.
HAL had entered into a contract with the Indian Army for 40 ALH (22 ALH Mk III and 18 Mk IV Rudra) in August 2017.
Of the 22 helicopters, 19 helicopters have already been produced and will be progressively delivered, the defence public sector undertaking said.
The Advanced Light Helicopter is a multi-role, new generation helicopter in the 5.5-ton weight class, indigenously designed and developed by HAL.
It provides superlative performance throughout its flight envelope, HAL said.
It is suited for a high-speed cruise for rapid deployment and to maximise the area of operations, the company said, adding that the basic helicopter is produced in skid version and wheeled version.
In the wheeled version, options for fixed and retractable undercarriages are available.

this project is going well

Indeed.
Fruition of Dhruv program can be seen today with the many offshoots like the Rudra, LCH and LUH.
The future in helicopter sector for HAL remains bright.
Looking forward for the IMRH program.

rudra is facing problems like MMRCA but basic dhurav is going great

Well my point remains the offshoot programs rising from Dhruv.
Rudra weapons integration should smooth out in coming months.
Will be inducted in numbers.

It's because of the angle mate. The helicopter slightly banking to it's left.

@Imran Khan man... if LCA isn't working, how come they made such a good machine? I mean, Heli is difficult, to be made....even as Hobby Lobby

I believe Ecuador would disagree. This chopper is a killer. It kills whoever that ride in it.
