HAL LCH| Updates and Discussions

It was the other way round. You are dumb enough to think Z-10 is the same class as LCH. LOL...

LOLz Though they are not of same weight category still LCH has a better and more powerful engine. I think this point was what HariPrasad was making which is a fact!!!

You can read my previous post again. I am really sick of repeating myself.

Apache:

• Empty weight: 11,387 lb (5,165 kg)
• Powerplant: 2 × General Electric T700-GE-701 turboshafts, 1,260 kW (1,690 shp)

Z-10

• Empty weight: 5,540 kg[22] (lb)
• Powerplant: 2 × WZ-9 turboshaft[22], 1000 kw (1350 shp) each

LCH

• Empty weight: 2,700 kg?
• Powerplant: 2 × HAL/Turbomeca Shakti turboshaft, 1,067 kW (1,430 shp[39])

What can you deduce from this comparison? If we go by your Indian logic, LCH is even more powerful than Apache, and yet you are buying Apaches. This is the same mentality when comparing LCA and other planes.

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??

Yes, my Indian genius, what makes you think the Z-10 does not have good avionics? And I already repeated many times, nobody knows the weight of the Z-10, but it was created to counter the Apache. So it was meant to be in the same class as Apache.

Yet by your logic this 'thin' LCH can complement so much avionics, so light and with such a powerful engine that even the Apache cannot match it. Funny that you are buying Apache. The same logics in LCA.

If a new addition had happened then you should provide the new updated info, otherwise you'll be ridiculed for sharing wrong info, dumbass..

The pod's OEM is Israeli, being produced by BEL. It's on IA, IAF to choose what other anti tank missile it wants on their airwing. It was shown with a pack of LAHATs a while, back but it has only been testing Helinas so far.

Its in wikipedia for god's sake even then LCH is still propotionally 'better' than Apache going by Indian logics.
