This is the first occasion when the Sarang Team is performing its four helicopter aerobatics display in Russia, with its Made-in-India Dhruv Advanced Light Helicopters (ALH). These HAL manufactured machines have hinge less rotors and are equipped with state-of-the-art avionics, which makes them extremely suitable for military aviation. Apart from the IAF, the Indian Army, the Indian Navy and the Indian Coast Guard also operate this helicopter.</p>
