Finally Army Aviation to get it's attack helicopter.
Hopefully INDIA AI mission has a project to develop an Indian foundational LLM not just fine tuned on foreign LLM.
The perception of the AI comes from its founding data training which will persist no matter how much you tune it with current methods
It's true that even heavy AH are vulnerable to modern AD. The Ka-52s losses despite being perhaps the best protected of the lot make it clear. Drawing lessons from Ukraine, countries like Germany ad SoKo are ditching their AHs for LM/UCAV. Otoh, Israel has been making good use of its AH-64s in taking down Iranian Shaheeds with the trusty M230 gun. Why waste a Sidewinder after all?
The US and Israel are integrating stand-off missiles (esp Spike NLOS and working on a whole range of air launched effects - small size carriers with different explosive and EW payloads) besides integrating mum-t capability across the fleet.
Imo, the IAF/IA should move to fit the Spike NLOS on the Apache (currently only the Mi-17s have it) and get the SANT missile certified for the LCH. If we can modify the existing Belgian FZ 70mm rocket pods on Prachand for Newspace' ALFA-S LM that'd be great, if not we could always develop a custom, modular rocket pod for the bird. Mum-t will probably take some more time though.

The Indian Army has received the first three Apache AH-64 attack helicopters from the US as part of a larger procurement to enhance its defence capabilities. Transported to Hindon airbase, the delivery indicates significant advancements for the Army's operational readiness along the western front.
