Welcome to worlds largest poorly managed group of men trying to be an armed force.

Spotted those flying few days ago post lunchtime, light was bad that day. Yesterday & day before there were 4 ALH (2 of those being in Rudra config probably, black skin, other 2 green & black) 2 LCH and 2 cheetah chetak type were flying. Quite amazing that when flying at a distance I could not hear any sound and only relatively close by you could hear them coming suddenly. Very very intimidating formation , can easily take good panga with any enemy formation.
Another thing, i think LCH will never be used in dedicated tank buster role, it will likely play support fire role due to very good quick reaction & maneuver ability. It is way more sharp & quick reactive compared to the ALH which were taking a longer turn radius. Last year army had 1 LCH, this year 2 so bodes well for future years hehe.
I wasn't being snarky. Just referring to this picture Ashwin shared.That is cos I can not differentiate between the 2
This is the SA315B Lama known as Cheetah in Indian service. This is mainly used in the air observation/underslung cargo role in the IAF owing to its small size. But this bird is clearly from AAC.
The Chetak is the Indian designation for the SA316B Alouette which is flown by all services including the IN.
Needless to say, both machines are well past their prime and need to be retired asap.
Saw something about the 3 apaches to be delivered soon within few days/weeks in the morning, those are coming within this month apparently. I will fetch the link/news later when I get time back.
Yea, saw on X. The article mentioned 15 out of 24 MH60R has been delivered till now.
