HAL Dhruv



The HAL Dhruv (Sanskrit: ध्रुव, "Pole Star") is a multi-role helicopter developed and manufactured by India's Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL). It is being supplied to the Indian Armed Forces, and a civilian variant is also available. The helicopter was first exported to Nepal and Israel, and is on order by several other countries for both military and commercial uses. Military versions in production are for transport, utility, reconnaissance and MedEvac roles.

The HAL Light Combat Helicopter (LCH) is a helicopter gunship based on the Dhruv platform.[3] A naval version for anti-submarine operations was proposed, but has been dropped.
