24. HAL Light Combat Helicopter
The Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) Light Combat Helicopter (LCH) is an Indian multi-role attack helicopter designed and manufactured by HAL (HAL). The Indian Air Force and the Indian Army have both ordered the LCH. It has the highest flight ceiling of any assault helicopter. An intensive test program was carried out, involving four prototypes in total. During these testing, the LCH earned the distinction of becoming the first attack helicopter to land in Siachen, landing many times at helipads as high as 13,600 feet (4145 meters) and as low as 15,800 feet (4145 meters) (4815 meters).

23. Sikorsky S-97 Raider
Sikorsky Aircraft might still be developing the S-97 Raider, a high-speed scout and attack compound helicopter based on the Advancing Blade Concept (ABC) with a coaxial rotor system, but it will be in active service sooner than you think. Sikorsky intended to sell it to the US Army’s Armed Aerial Scout program, among other potential uses. Simulated bird impacts testing on the fuselage at speeds up to 235 kn (435 km/h; 270 mph), the S-97’s estimated maximum flight speed, was done on the fuselage on May 22, 2015. Drop tests were also carried out to guarantee that the gasoline tanks would be safe in the case of a collision.
