据《印度国防新闻》网站报道,在与邻国发生边境冲突后,印度并没有派遣美国制造的新型AH-64E“阿帕奇”攻击直升机。相反,却派出了一款印度自行设计的国产直升机,印度军方认为这种国产直升机更适合在高海拔地区作战。
印度两架轻型战斗直升机(LCH)已被派往拉达克地区,到目前为止,印度军方已经从印度斯坦航空公司订购了30架LCH直升机。

印度斯坦表示,LCH是一个强大的武器平台,因为它拥有最先进的机载系统和高精度的武器,能够在白天或夜间击中任何目标。LCH能够在各种复杂条件下包括高原地区飞行,可以承载足够多的武器,非常适合在高温和高海拔环境执行任务。
有趣的是,印度还有另一架攻击直升机——美国制造的AH-64E“阿帕奇”,该机可以说是世界上最先进的攻击直升机。美方日前已向印度交付了全部22架“阿帕奇”直升机中。2015年,印美签署价值30亿美元的合同,包括引进22架“阿帕奇”核17架CH-47“支奴干”直升机。最近,特朗普政府同意再向印度出售6架AH-64直升机。
“阿帕奇”是一款令人印象深刻的强大的武器平台,其搭载有“地狱火”反坦克导弹和“长弓”火控雷达。印度引进的AH-64E还拥有更强大的引擎、更好的数据网络和改进的复合旋翼桨叶。与LCH相比“阿帕奇”的速度更快,发动机功率更大,携带的武器也更多,不过LCH的航程更长。
然而,高海拔地区对直升机来说是一个重大的挑战。例如美国“阿帕奇”飞行员在阿富汗山区上空飞行时不得不采取额外的预防措施,当时的飞行高度在3800米,温度在-15至+50度之间。一位美军飞行员写道:我们执行的每一次任务都需要对飞行高度、温度和直升机的载重进行规划,这些规划远比我们进行正常飞行时多得多。
喜马拉雅山脉的拉达克高原,海拔在3000米以上。对于装甲车来说,气候和地形条件都非常恶劣。部署在那里的印度坦克需要用特殊的润滑油,并且必须不断地运转发动机以避免结冰。
但LCH直升机已经证明了其在高原条件下的飞行能力。2015年,一架LCH在拉达克的锡亚琴冰川上进行了多次试飞,高度达到了4800米,并携带了500公斤的载荷。
虽然AH-64E可以在高达6000米的高度飞行,但印度评论员认为LCH直升机更适合喜马拉雅山脉。一位前印度军官表示,尽管“阿帕奇”在平原上表现得很好,但在喜马拉雅山脉地区的行动将受限。在1999年的卡吉尔战争期间,印度军队就需要一款能够在高原地区作战武装直升机。LCH和合适高原地区,它已经在4000米以上的高度成功进行了测试,并且是第一款降落在锡亚琴冰川附近高原基地的武装直升机。
但是在高原地区部署是要付出代价的。AH-64和LCH之间最显著的区别在于它们的武器装备。“阿帕奇”是一个飞行武器库,装有一门30毫米航炮和多达16枚“地狱火”导弹以及70毫米无制导火箭弹。但是LCH只能装备更轻的20毫米航炮和4枚导弹或火箭弹。印度时报指出,LCH直升机目前只装备有70毫米火箭弹和航炮,还没有装备反坦克导弹和空对空导弹。
在喜马拉雅山脉,地形和气候因素共同限制了部队的部署,因此可能并不需要一款“飞行武器库”。而只是要一架可以在高原飞行的武装直升机。

India's domestic military direct deployment of Ladakh Indian media: better than American Apache

India did not send the new ah-64e Apache attack helicopter made by the United States after border conflicts with neighboring countries, the website of India Defense News reported. Instead, it sent out a domestic helicopter designed by India, which the Indian military believes is more suitable for fighting at high altitudes.
India's two light combat helicopters (LCH) have been sent to Ladakh region, so far, the Indian military has ordered 30 LCH helicopters from Hindustan airlines.
According to Hindustan, LCH is a powerful weapon platform because of its state-of-the-art airborne systems and high-precision weapons that can hit any target in the daytime or at night. LCH can fly in a variety of complex conditions, including plateau areas, and can carry enough weapons. It is very suitable for carrying out missions in high temperature and high altitude environment.
Interestingly, India also has another attack helicopter, the ah-64e "Apache" made in the United States, which can be said to be the most advanced attack helicopter in the world. The US side has recently delivered all 22 "Apache" helicopters to India. In 2015, India and the United States signed a US $3 billion contract, including the introduction of 22 Apache nuclear and 17 CH-47 Chinook helicopters. Recently, the trump Administration agreed to sell six more AH-64 helicopters to India.
Apache is an impressive and powerful weapon platform, equipped with Hellfire anti tank missile and Longbow fire control radar. The ah-64e introduced by India also has a stronger engine, better data network and improved composite rotor blades. Compared with the LCH, the Apache is faster, more powerful engines, and carries more weapons, but the LCH has a longer range.
However, high altitude is a major challenge for helicopters. For example, American "Apache" pilots had to take extra precautions when flying over the mountains of Afghanistan, when the flight altitude was 3800 meters and the temperature was between - 15 and + 50 degrees. Every mission we carry out requires planning for flight altitude, temperature and helicopter load, which is much more than when we fly normally.
The Ladakh plateau of the Himalayas, above 3000 meters above sea level. For armored vehicles, the weather and terrain conditions are very bad. The Indian tanks deployed there need special lubricants and have to run their engines constantly to avoid freezing.
However, LCH helicopter has proved its flight ability in plateau conditions. In 2015, an LCH made several test flights on the siaqin glacier in Ladakh, reaching a height of 4800 meters and carrying a load of 500 kg.
Although the ahh-6000 altitude is more suitable for flying in the Himalayas, the lch-ahh is more suitable for flying in the Himalayas. A former Indian military officer said that while Apache performed well on the plains, movement in the Himalayas would be limited. During the kagir war in 1999, the Indian army needed an armed helicopter capable of fighting on the plateau. LCH and suitable plateau areas, it has been successfully tested at an altitude of more than 4000 meters, and is the first armed helicopter to land on a plateau base near the siaqin glacier.
But there is a price to pay for deployment in plateau areas. The most significant difference between AH-64 and LCH is their weaponry. "Apache" is a flying weapons depot with a 30mm aerial gun and up to 16 Hellfire missiles as well as 70mm unguided rockets. But the LCH can only be equipped with lighter 20 mm guns and four missiles or rockets. According to the times of India, LCH helicopters are currently only equipped with 70mm rockets and aerial guns, but not with anti tank missiles and air-to-air missiles.
In the Himalayas, terrain and climate factors jointly limit the deployment of troops, so a "flying weapons depot" may not be required. It's just an armed helicopter that can fly on the plateau.
