In a significant boost to its combat capabilities, the Indian Air Force (IAF) on Monday inducted its first batch of locally produced Light Combat Helicopters (LCH). Rajnath Singh, the defence minister, and Air Chief Marshal VR Chaudhari, the chief of the air staff, attended the ceremony at Jodhpur when the helicopters were accepted into the Indian Air Force. They are known as “Prachand.””The introduction of Light Combat Helicopters (LCH) that were created domestically would improve our capability and increase defence manufacturing. The festival of Navratri, which is celebrated in Rajasthan, the home of warriors, was the ideal time to introduce LCH “While introducing the helicopters, Rajnath stated.
It is a “momentous occasion,” Rajnath continued, demonstrating India’s capacity for defence manufacturing.
The introduction of LCH, according to IAF head Chaudhari, gives the air force a special capacity, and the choppers have proven themselves in the Himalayan region.
