Very Good effort Moin91 :cheers: Few humble suggestions from my side if you dont mind. Looking at the poster, i find that specop guys in the picture are present in lower half of the picture, actually it is less then 40% of the picture. rest of the space is occupied by non special forces...

You are right. During the First Gulf War of 1991, Before, Allies launch first wave of aerial attack, on 17 January 1991, 6-8 Appaches, were sent at night of 16 January. to take out a radar system at some border outpost, to punch a hole in the radar coverage. Once this radr system was taken out...

Please read this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kim_Campbell_(pilot) If Pakistan trained her womenfolk as a fighter pilot, i think the training system sould be designed to inculcate this type of traits of being determined, and resolute while performing their duties.

Appache, My Favourite, and one of the best gunship helicopter of the world.:smitten:

Elaborate!! what part you find secret :azn:

Sir my point is coping with combat stress management. Flying a Falcon or Hercules is differnt from PIA. flying a combat mission even in transport aircraft posses many threats.

Sir does this mean they will be given command of the aircarft i.e. captain of the aircarft. would they be handle all the responsibilities associated with the captainship of aircarft.

I never liked the idea of woman fighter pilots, read this post # 26 http://www.defence.pk/forums/military-aviation/10500-female-pilots-achieved-yet-another-landmark-f-p-report-2.html#post205400 It was all done as part of enlightened moderation during President Musharraf regime to show the...

I agree, but only China seems to be the country with which we may start a joint venture, for utility aircraft like AS550 and Z-9

No aircarft of army aviation is fitted with Ejection seat including mushak trainer aircraft. Ejection seats are too costly, even single Martin beaker seat will cost more then Mushak.

The cation should be changed. Mushak is not a jet trainer, its a piston engine aircarft. Mushak is used by Army Navy and Airforce as a primery Flying Trainer. Naval officers are trained in PAF Base Rislapur along with PAF cadets. Army officers are trained at Gujranwala. Both schizer...

This is not used by Army Aviation. you can clearly see the emblem of Govt. of Pakistan on the door. Army Aviation helos does not use govt. logo on their aircarft. it must be of 6 squadron, which is used by cabinet members, based at Islamabad heliport. No tigers with Army, believe it, please...

Tarbella Base----- hmm it rings bells. Seen it on Google Earth, looks like a runway and some under construction hangers. Can anny body confirm the aimm of eastablishing this base. There has been and still, a lot of hot discussions, by politicians, media personnel, analysts, about presence of...

This is a mockup of MD 500 helicopter, a remote controll toy, you can see its rotor system, typical of a radio contrtolled helo. Army does not use it. Couple of years earlier, it was evaluated by Army, but never purchased.

Its not Bell 407. Its Bell 206L (Long Ranger) Bell 407 is 4 bladed.

This is the Search and Rescue helo of PAF, but why the cockpit/cabin glass is tined in dark green clear. I think it will seriously impair pilot vision while flying at dawn or dusk. Night time SAR is obviously out of question.

Pakistan got 20 AH-1F (earlier called AH-1S MC, where MC stands for Modernised Cobra), in 80s during Gen Zia's regime, as USA's program to arm Pakistan against Soviet aggression. In 2007, Pakistan got 12 more Cobras, as refurbished, from USA as an Allie to America. Pakistan has purchased...

Pakistan Army is using Augusta Bell (now Augusta Westland) AB-205, a version of UH-1H, developed by Italy. Some helos are decommissioned but some are still in flying status. 6 Aviation Squadron based at Islamabad Heliport is using UH-1H/AB-205, Bell 412s and AW1399newly acquired). Sometimes...

1. The most audacious system as anti armour, Pakistan has is Cobra helicopters. The TOWs have a range of 3.75 km. In plains and moderate weather conditions, a single Cobra helicopter can be loaded with upto 8 TOWs and each one can be guided onto target with precision, using its old but highly...
