The Indian defence arsenal just got more firepower after it successfully completed its flight test of an anti-tank guided missile — Helina — from an advanced light helicopter (ALH) at high altitude.
The trial, carried out jointly by a Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) team, along with the Indian Army and Air Force, was conducted from an advanced light helicopter and the missile was fired successfully at a simulated tank target.
