there is no MI-17 helo squadron in Multan, this pic is taken at Qasim Base, as already high lighted in the pic. I think, filters come factory fitted and there is no option to remove them and fly if they have come as factory fitted.

Gyari where avalaunch has come is at 13,000 feet. AMSL

40.5 MHz VHF, 243 MHz UHF

This is not FLIR rather it is weather radar, shielded by the radome, FLIR is mounted on the underside of the nose, between two lower transparent panels. It mus be hinged to rotate in 2 axes, 360 in azimuth and around 120 in verticle plain.[COLOR="Silver"] ---------- Post added at 12:12 AM...

Pakistani Bell 412 helos are fitted with STARSAFIRE III FLIR systems, (not all), it is mounted in the nose, unlike seen in the above pic. They are also fitted with MG-3 or M240 machine guns. The Ministry of Interior operates some grey colour Bell UH-1H Huey IIs, and some of them are having...

PAF best of the best No doubt. yet i have noticed that in the video at 1:30 the view from the rear seat shows GARMIN GPS (PILOT III Version), a portable hand held GPS used by pilots This is not understood, F-7PG does not have even its own integrated GPS/NAV system and PAF has separately...

On 10 Feb 2010, 2-3 AH-1F Cobra helos were providing top cover to ground forces in Aurakzai Agency, during the fight one Cobra was hit by enemy fire and crashed. Two brave pilots Maj Mudassir and Capt Asim of Army Aviation Combat Group embarrassed Shahadat while serving for their motherland...

There are 14 such helos, as far as i know, and they are housed at Tarbella Ghazi aviation base. The squadron is newly raised and called 28 squadron. Now Ghazi base has 2 squadrons, 21 QRS (Quick Reaction Squadron) and 28 Cargo squadron. Any news, when first of MI-14s are arriving Pakistan .

They are being refurbished in some russian bloc country and will be handed over to Navy. Note the rear landing gears consist of double wheels instead of single wheel. also the size...

You are right, there is some kind of improved air intake filters installed infront of engines. They may be MI-172s.

The 2 UH-1Hs shown in the pics are actually UH-1H Huey II. The difference between the Huey and Huey II, is that Huey II is fitted with AH-1F Cobra's engine, i.e. T-53 L-703 (1800 HP), while older Hueys/UH-1D/H are fitted with T-53 L-13 (1400 HP) engines. Another very conspicuous difference is...

These helos (other then Navy) are not equipped with floatation gear, chances look slim, still hoping for best outcome.

Punjab Rangers have Bell 206L Long Ranger, it is same as Army is using Jet Ranger II and III. Long Ranger has more powerful engine and may take upto 5 passangers in addition to 2 pilots.

These must be Bell412 helos from aviation base Dhamial rawalpindi.
