Helina is an advanced light helicopter that has been developed, and one of the most powerful anti-tank missiles in the world has been successfully tested from high altitudes today.
Helina was developed by the Defence Research and Development Laboratory (DRDL), Hyderabad, working hands-on with the Missiles and Strategic Systems (MSS) cluster of the DRDO. The trials are taking place from 2018 till now. Scientists say that it has the capacity for all-weather, day and night, and can beat battle tanks with conventional armor as well as explosive reactive armor.
The copter can target both hit mode and attack mode. Trials were observed by senior Army commanders and senior scientists of the Defence Research and Development Organization (DRDO). The Nag anti-tank guided missile has been converted to HELINA, a helicopter launched copter of a third-generation fire-and-forget class anti-tank guided missile (ATGM) system mounted on the ALH.
The projectile has a range of more than 7 kilometers. The rocket has been planned to join the accompanying weaponized interpretation of ALH. Eight HELINA missiles may be joined by four ALH-WSI (Rudra) on either side. A twin-launcher worthy of bearing two ‘HELINA’ missiles is devised and skilled, with the four aforementioned launchers comprehensively arranged, two on either side of the helicopter weapon boom.
In addition to the confirmation troubles conducted at Pokhran, evidence of productivity at extreme altitudes paves the way for its unification on ALH. The troubles were supported by senior Army commanders and senior physicists of DRDO, the bureau of defense stated later in the favorable experiment.
The favorable departure test of Helina gains more importance as India persists in its alluring push to independence in the defense production subdivision. In the current past, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh has announced diversified lists of military orders and armaments that will happen under a significant ban over the next five years and be performed indigenously.
Given the significance of the ban list, the helicopter began dropping antagonistic-container-directed bombs, making this test yet another major for the Indian Armed Forces. India persists as the world’s best weapons importer; in its current report, the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI) showed that 11 percent of all all-encompassing weaponry marketing was completed by India in 2021.
The report, however, disclosed that India’s total capacity for imports dropped by 21 percent from 2012 to 2016.
India carries out a successful test firing of the HELINA anti-tank missile. India on Monday favorably departure-tested Helina, an antagonistic-container guided missile (ATGM), in Pokhran.
Today, the indigenously developed # ATGM # HELINA flew successfully from a helicopter at high altitudes.
The flight test was jointly conducted by the teams of scientists of DRDO, “tweeted by A. Bharat Bhusan Babu, Principal Spokesperson, Ministry of Defence.
Defence Minister Rajnath Singh and DRDO Chairman Dr. G Satheesh Reddy congratulated the crews involved in the happenings and troubles of Helina. The DRDO has planned and grown a range of antagonistic-container ammunition electronics that contain the Nag, Helina MPATGM, SANT, and Laser Guided ATGM for MBT Arjun.
