CASEVAC training with IAF's old Chetak helicopter. A pilot is extricated by a Chetak without being winched into the heli due to it's size limitations. ALH Dhruv is an ideal CASEVAC platform for the IA and IAF given it's cabin size and winch.

@Deino, it appears to be the test of Astra MK II on a SU-30. That’s significant.

Its an ejector launch
Is it better than the other type of launch? Wouldn’t it delay the launch of the missile compared to other type of launch where missile fires and then goes away? Just by a second may be. But one second can be critical time in an air battle.
