CI/CT Operations

In the video showing dead body of Kuki's, from the shouting I assume they are calling for their fellow soldier to run over to the rest of the team and there seems to be an open area in between both the parties ? I'm not a soldier but should there be only 1 voice yelling at the troop, giving him commands of what to do ? Playing only the audio minus the video and I can absolutely picture myself hearing some uncles yelling at each other during some dispute in my locality.

Not an objective take from such less amount of information. Open to interpretations.

Can you identify the AK type ?

Chinese Type 56

Why when it already has a chin mounted gun? Dhruv is far more suitable for a door gunner. The CG mk IV variants also have them.

I'd say a side-mounted grenade launcher would be better on Rudra only, besides the chin cannon & rockets. Would be lovely to have in CO-IN op. Will make it more complete. Prachand can work with ATGMs & loitering munitions.

That'll roughly cover everything.

Has any country tried mounting automatic grenade launcher on heli?

AH-1 Cobras had M75 and M129 40mm's mounted on them during Vietnam war.

Yup...once it was the only heavy automatic weapon available in a helicopter. The earlier helicopter didn't had things like high-power turret, stabilization, head tracking, heck they weren't even strong enough to handle the recoil of an auto-cannon. So 7.62x51mm MG, 7.62x51mm Gatling, M2 Browning and automatic grenade launcher were the only weapon available other than 70mm unguided rockets.

Here's one combined minigun and grenade launcher turret from AH-1; 1960s
