ALH Mk-IV 'Rudra' handed over to Indian Army
An advanced light helicopter Mk-IV army version ‘Rudra’ was handed over by Dr R.K. Tyagi, Chairman, the Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) to Lt General Narendra Singh, Deputy Chief of Army Staff (P&S), Indian Army during Aero India 2013 at Yelahanka Air Base, Bengaluru.
P. Soundara Rajan, Managing Director said, “Rudra, first armoured helicopter, is the Mk-IV variant of the advanced light helicopter (ALH) designed and manufactured by HAL. This helicopter is fitted with day and night targeting systems and can carry a mix of weapons (70 rockets, anti-tank missiles, air-to-air missiles and 20mm turret gun), providing the required capability to search and destroy any targets.”
‘Rudra’ is designed indigenously at the Rotary Wing Research and Design Centre (RWR & DC) to meet the mission specifications and tested extensively over varied terrains and firing ranges in India. Regional Centre for Military Airworthiness has provided initial operational clearance for the project facilitating delivery of helicopters to Indian armed forces. ‘Rudra’ is all set to redefine battle tactics in modern-day conflicts.
