Looks like the weaponised naval version.

It looks like ther is a secondary EO turret on this model but not in the current WSI layout, is there a particular reason for it not being present in the current WSI- improvements in chin-mounted EO pod/not necessary. + what was/is the purpose of this secondary EO pod??

The Dhruv used by army and the ones used by the sarang team looks beautiful............With the grey colour it looks little cheap.I think these are the earlier models of Dhruv which was weaponised but then the lch took its place as I think the Dhruv is not as agile as required for a combat helo.

armed version of dhruv can play important role when rescue mission has to be perform where it can use its fire power while dropping soldier or picking up hostage or wounded soldier in hostile situation ..
at the same time unarmed dhruv will be vulnerable is such situation even it will be with escorted by other copper like LCH .

No Its not Naval version, Its just a Testbed/Prototype... Naval version has different Landing Gear... In fact naval dhruv has Tyre as landing gear rather than Iron Rod...

My My, the armed version looks deadly.

Never expected Dhruv to sport such killing looks.

But this naval version is cancelled, navy will only use dhruv for transport purpose. Armed dhruv which army will be using is the 3rd pic, the blue one.

yeah!I agree with u partially but arming dhruv also decreases its payload.I think the dhruv can carry max. six ppl with there all weapons and other accesories,that makes it to come down to 2-3 soldier.So then it will be seldom used for transportation.
