HAL to speed up copter production. Challenges for Pak Defence Industry

[RealNapster]

depends on how capable you are in absorbing the provided tech.

Well. JF-17 is the living example.

Heli is a no match for MANPADS,even an ATGM can bring down a heli flying at low speed, as demonstrated twice or more by syrian rebels. Helis and tanks are very vulnerable these days.

'If' the rumours are correct then ground based CIWS are in the pipeline!

by that logic Pakistan should never buy or induct another heli or tank into its armory. It should discard all existing helis and tanks as well - waste of resources on maintenance and training of personnel.

 

[Water Car Engineer]

Yeah, there's a big dedicated heli plant HAL is raising.


HAL will be producing --

HAL LUH

HAL Dhruvs

HAL Rudras

HAL LCH

Kamov Ka 226

Eventually HAL IMRH

But not just HAL, TATA-Bell and Mahindra-Airbus are fighting to raise their own dedicated helicopter manufacturing plant. Reliance is too. Demand in the civilian sector is enough.

Nope not at all. That's was not my point. I meant to say that the tanks and helis are much more vulnerable in the battle field now a days than they were considered before. I'm not disregarding their lethality or usefulness. No army can fight a war without these two mighty machines.

These are not rumors you can see the videos on the internet. It has happened in syria. ATGM has brought down helis under certain conditions.

So you can advise your armed forces not to purchase that 2 Bn USD chopper which they say they have ordered.

Refer to post #21

Yes, there is progress India is making in field of copters and we lack in terms of technology presently.
I hope soon project could be started with Turkey as TOT for T129 attack copter.

We can get benefit of existed technology and on the base of that move ahead and by pass Indian Heli advancement.

 

[Imtiaz_Sarwar]

made by hal = Pakistan has nothing to worry about!

This looks like complacency and it is very dangerous. Never assume that your enemy is weak. The mughal empire was complacent and today it is in the dust bin of history. When Pakistan has the resources we should also go for helicopter production.
