Hi,

The HAL Light Observation Helicopter (LOH) is under development by
Hindustan Aeronautics Limited of India. The 3-tonne single engine
light helicopter for the Indian Army and the Indian Air Force will
replace the fleet of Cheetah and Chetak helicopters. The project
is in preliminary stages and is in the design phase. The project
will be completed within next 5-6 years.[1] The Indian military
have a requirement for 384 helicopters of which 187 helicopters
will be built by HAL.

Good find Hesham !
The tail looks, as if taken directly from the Gazelle, but a direct comparison
left some doubts. Is it, or is it not a Gazelle derivative ?
