Scout helos are required to be agile and highly maneuverable, flying close to ground 10-15 feet, taking cover of trees, sand dunes, small ridges. for better controllability, no extra weight, like armour protection, for crew, helo vital protection is afforded. The aim of any scout is to locate...

Pakistan Army operates Bell Jet Ranger II and III type helicopters. they are not primerilly used for training as TH-300C is the standard training helicopter pf Army. The main role of JRs is to act as scout helos for Cobra squadrons, the same role as USA OH-58 series do, the difference i that...

Disagree Sir, This is Bell Jet Ranger II, see the main difference of cabin length (count windows) and then JR II is 2 blade system, Bell 412 is a totally different thing, Only a helicopter with Pakistani flag and distinctive white-green roundal is helo of Pakistan Armed Forces ( if i am not...

Now this is not owned by Army Aviation. See it has a USA registration number, and might have come here in Pakistan for trials but never purchased.

Sir, Fixed guns means that the guns will be bore sighted straight ahead along the nose of helo? so that makes us converting them into gunships.........

12.7 mm guns are too heavy and big so that they are fixed on Bells, rather, Pakistan will continue to use MG3/7.62 mm guns in door positions of Bells. I have yet to see any Bell pic with Gatling gun, as reported in some other posts.

I dont think Vigos are used by Army, however, they are used by Paramilitary Forces (FC, Rangers, ANF, Levies, Police etc)

The first pic is of a scale down model of UH-1 Charlie, no more in production since 1970. The second pic is showing mock up of Gatling gun and its not an actual gun. The helo is probably parked over an aircraft carrier for display purpose. The third picture is an armed version of Huey probably...

What is his actual rank rite now, Group Captain or Air Commodore. i cant make out what does it stands for, Cdt A dashing personality, i still remember his programme, 'Aik Din Geo Kay Sath' and Sohail Waraich as a host. Zabar dast programme. A must watch. the programme was telecasted on 7...

Why not Army Aviation take delivery of these, Army is already operating a number of turboprops like Y-12, Jet Propcommander, King Air B200 and 350 (ISI). under Army, it will make liaison and coordination much easy then being on interservices basis.

Can somebody confirm that Air Chief Marshall Rao Qamar Suleman is not from F-16 pilot stream, he is basically a Mirage pilot, neither he has commanded F-16 squadron nor Sargodha Airforce Base?

Can we have the details of Yasoob, specifications, Military deals when they involve an equipment which is actually designed to meet commercial standards are always doubtful, and chances of corruption. now 4x4 Hilux single double cabin is designed on commercial standards. similarly Army is using...

Yasoob pic please :yahoo::yahoo:

I agree, the sale of 12 drones was part of weapons transferred by USA as a coalition assistance, it was not out of Pakistan's wish list, simply imposed over Pakistan. Yet Pakistan Military and civil organizations must join hands to develop a UAV keeping in view our own peculiar requirements.

it is only a luxury with Pakistan Army to have different types of trucks, 4x4 vehicles, utility vehicles. a nightmare for logisticians to support so differnt and divergent type of systems. why Yasoob project was cancelled. in 70s, Pakistan was able to produce its own jeep 'Nishan', but then...

It seems to be a portable version of 7.62 Gatling. one can see the shoulder straps with magazine box and a carrying handle over barrel cluster. Practically, its not possible to make it man portable as the gun requires en external drive system (DC motor), to complete it firing cycle. however...

in my opinion, Gatling/M134 7.62mm gun is not a fire support gun, when installed on the doors. a helicopter cannot provide fire support until the weapon is bore sighted to pilot's line of sight, and pilot has some sort of magnification telescope to see things real far, considering 7.62 x 51...

No Gatling/M134 is fitted to any Bell 412 helos. yes there are some Gatling guns fitted with Ministry of Interior Helos (UH-1H), provided to Ministry under a special aid programme by USA.
