Cost would be high for such repair. Perhaps a replacement may be a cheaper option.

Depends on how old is the airframe, can anyone search up the serial number and guess which year it was inducted. Usually I think its declared beyond economic repair if repair cost matches or exceeds 50% of the replacement cost.

Either way since its an Mi-17, it will either be made operational or replaced to maintain numbers.

That is why I am saying Pakistan needs to go for helicopters from China or with TOT and start producing them in Pakistan so we can repair them to in Pakistan. @fatman17

Mi-17 production has started in China as part of a joint venture and Mil is making plans on shifting production to its replacement the Mi-38 once its certified. Once that happens there is a chance that maybe Mi-17 production might be completely shifted to China.

We need new helicopters and at least we need to produce 3 different helicopters for our Armed Forces and produce them in Pakistan
