<description><![CDATA[The Dhruv is designed as a multi-role helicopter for both military and civilian uses, with the main demand expected to come from the Indian Armed Forces. From 1984, work at HAL was supported by MBB (now Eurocopter Deutschland), and the helicopter features a hinge-less composite main rotor with elastomeric bearings and a bearing-less tail rotor. Also, composites are used in the airframe (nose, doors, fairings and part of the tail). In light of the high altitude fighting in Kargil during the summer of 1999, the Dhruv's hot-and-high performance will be much valued. Indian operations were initially handicapped by the fact that the bulk of the fighting took place in altitudes in excess of 15,000 feet where conventional attack choppers could not be deployed because of performance limitations.]]></description>
