You should also try to find out to what maximum temperatures our imported helicopters have been subjected (and cleared) by the IAF and Army. Most of these come from Russia and Europe, where temperatures never reach this high, even in the worst summers. But yet, they're accepted by the IAF. Great, right?<br /><br />By the way, 50 deg. celcius is <i>usually</i> the <b>surface</b> temperature of any place. Also, 42 degrees may also be the temperature induced due to the rotation of the chopper's blades. Surely, air temperatures won't remain static in the midst of huge rotating blades.Abhimannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8726844009873922462.post-85572179587067575762015-06-29T09:34:31.042-07:002015-06-29T09:34:31.042-07:00Shuklaji, what is the status of Helina, without wh...Shuklaji, what is the status of Helina, without which LCH is incomplete?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8726844009873922462.post-78380127353246123412015-06-29T09:17:45.134-07:002015-06-29T09:17:45.134-07:00Just a point of curiosity, the deserts of Rajastha...Just a point of curiosity, the deserts of Rajasthan can heat upto 50 + degrees Celsius. 46-47 degree Celsius is seen in Norther Indian cities Like Delhi and Amritsar.<br /><br />We know mechanical items more or less will (or rather can) function in such conditions.

You know that is nonsense. The LCH will not face the Z-10 on the battlefield.

That's why Dhruv is indeed admirable. If you are an Indian, then it's your inferiority complex, which makes you doubt anything that is Indian. If you are a Paki or a Chini, such responses means jealousy.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8726844009873922462.post-15186466784963600662015-06-26T20:58:52.472-07:002015-06-26T20:58:52.472-07:00Admirable DRruv? ha ha haAdmirable DRruv? ha ha haAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8726844009873922462.post-44014013666870662242015-06-26T20:39:03.165-07:002015-06-26T20:39:03.165-07:00High time media started cheering DRDO and HAL for ...High time media started cheering DRDO and HAL for their efforts to make India self reliant in defense.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
