My dear Genius, LCH and Apache are totally different class of choppers.. Apache Longbow has got excellent avionics, Weapon integration and a very long history of Combat operations.. Where as LCH is just into its FOC and yet to be built in large numbers.. There is a lot to evolve in this platform.. We have to start bringing in this in active combat roles slowly, and in a span two to three years, it will be well versed with the users in terms of Spares, maintenance, Training etc.
Where as Apache is to meet our immediate requirements.. Got your answer??
