Thanks. Would 22 be enough to cover the entire Indo-Pak Border ? Destroy PLA Logistical support on the Indo China border ?

What is the radar capability of the LCH ?

In the picture, the radome you see on top of the Apache AH-64 is the AN/APG-78 Longbow radar.

The next LCH picture you see does not have the radome. IAF helicopters aren't usually equipped to carry radar. For the LCH , HAL is in process or developing a radar warning receiver, FLIR, Helmet mounted sight and laser designation.

The 22 AH-64s will be operated by the IAF. The Indian Army also independently operates over 220 helicopters. Its likely the Army may also issue follow on orders for the AH-64s.

I think I’ve seen an ‘eventual’ figure of about 40 somewhere.
