As India seeks to expand attack helicopter fleet, focus must shift to expanding capabilities
India's military is significantly boosting its attack helicopter fleet with the induction of US-made Apaches and indigenous Prachand LCHs. The army anticipates 90 more Prachands, enhancing aerial power. While these choppers can engage drones, a need for dedicated air-to-air missiles to counter them and other threats is highlighted, with the army seeking a potent heat-seeking weapon.
