Army Helicopter

 The IAF's helicopter fleet has steadily increased in numbers over the past few years, blossoming from a couple of U.S. types within the 60s to over 500 French, Indian and Soviet built types. Induction of the newest machine, the Mi-17 V5, may be a quantum jump in our Medium Heli-lift capability in terms of the avionics, weapon systems also as its hot and high altitude performance.   The Chetak / Cheetah helicopter fleet has been the backbone in SAR, Casualty Evacuation and RTR (Route Transport Role) role within the IAF. To augment Cheetah helicopter operations in OP Meghdoot sectors, indigenously modified re-engined Cheetah are inducted within the fleet. This indigenous helicopter has proved its worth and aside from reliability it's shown better load carrying capacity. Of late, India has taken a conscious decision to travel the indigenous development way in thus far as procurement of military hardware cares.
