Aren't these choppers costly ?

 

[karakoram]

What is the price of one chopper ?

 

[Ind4Ever]

Off course they are costly but they are great helicopters and we need them also it indicates that we are going to buy lot of stuff from Italy. I can also smell some Frigates and Submarines also coming


No idea about that

dont you smell kick backs and corruptions ? need to check their cost and parameters of their selection

 

[war&peace]

If we are going to buy them in large numbers which I can sense here, why not on ToT basis....after all the need for helis will keep growing future.

It is a possibility since this news comes all of a sudden...idk what procedures have been followed and how details are public.But it could be a part of larger deal where Pakistan is buying some other equipment too. Maybe some western origin subs etc. But I wish our planners think more on the lines of indigenisation and ToT.

Does pakistan have tender process for procurement or is it direct govt2govt contract?

 

[Syed Asif Bukhari]

get rid of those flying coffins MI 17s

 

[Ind4Ever]

Base price alone -10 mill

add ons + Service + spares etc

If deal is for 10 it could be around 150 Millions wonder why numbers not disclosed , Or may be Chinese paid for technology

VT4 is rejected but we may test T-99 A2 Tank and that is totally different Tank. But most likely OPLOT M will be tested again and may get selected.

Chinese will make sure to will buy t99 .
