Bangalore, Feb 16 (ANI): Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) has displayed indigenously designed advanced light helicopter (ALH) Dhruv at the Aero India 2009.
Dhruv has been developed for India's armed forces.
An HAL official Colonel G. Gupta said, "This advanced light helicopter is a 5.5 ton class of helicopter. It can be used in various roles for communication, as an ambulance or in some specific role like offshore operations."
