The chopper has been tested over Ladakh. It can take out Chinese drones with air-to-air missiles.
Soon after inducting the first batch of indigenously developed Light Combat Helicopters, named Prachand, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh shared a cinematic video of the chopper on Twitter with the caption, "Prachand is the name". नाम है ‘प्रचंड' pic.twitter.com/dCa3WGvw9A
The slick video has several close-up shots of the chopper. With a cinematic feel, it shows the aircraft in the hangar, being brought out to the tarmac, pilots inspecting it, and then taking off. The video is set to fast-paced dramatic music.
The video shows the chopper from various angles, including a bird's eye view, 360-degree rotation, flying shots, and also the view from inside the cockpit. Air Force pilots can be seen loading up ammunition into the guns, coordinating while in flight, and firing at a target.
