LANCER

The Lancer Helicopter is a light attack helicopter developed by Hindustan Aeronautics Limited as a cost effective airmobile area weapon system. The basic structure of the Lancer is derived from the reliable and proven Cheetah Helicopter. 

The Lancer is optimized for anti-insurgency operations, close air support, suppression of enemy fire, attack on vehicular convoys, destruction of enemy machine gun positions and anti-Armour applications.

The Lancer carries two jettisonable combination gun-cum-rocket pods, one each on right and left side on suspension points located on the armament pylon. A gun sight is provided for accurate aiming and firing by the pilot. Each pad carries one 12.7 mm gun and three 70 mm rockets.
