India's Prachand Helicopters: A Strategic Advantage at Altitude

India is set to induct 156 Prachand attack helicopters, marking a significant advancement in its military capabilities, especially suitable for high-altitude operations in regions like Siachen and Ladakh. These helicopters, manufactured under the Make in India initiative, can reach altitudes of 16,400 feet and are equipped with advanced missiles and sensor-linked targeting systems, enhancing India’s air combat edge against adversaries like Pakistan and China. The Prachand helicopters will diversify the Indian Air Force’s fleet and provide crucial support in high-altitude warfare, reinforcing India’s strategic position in the region and ensuring a robust defense posture.
