This is Tiger helicopter, and definitelybeing evaluated by Aviation Pilots. The man in Black glasses is General Officer Commanding Army Aviation, so they are not trained. Also they are not in S Africa, they are either in Italy, France or Germany, current user of Tigers. The snaps must be...

Baktar Shikan are neither integrated on Cobras, nor Army has any plan to modify/integrate BS to Cobras. Sometimes back it was erroniously shown on an ISPR program on PTV, it was reported that Cobras are firing BS. The footage was of a Cobra firing TOW actually. I hav, had it confirmed form...

You mean Pakistan modify TOWs?

Yes right, easy to maintain, at low cost. single engine cobras. However, i would say, a twin engin offers good power to weight ratio, when cobra has to operate in mountainious terrain (remember cobra is not meant for mountains, it is for plains warfare, countering advancing enemy armour)...

Last year there was a proposal by Northrop Grumann to upgrade the avionics of F model Cobras of Pak Army with AH-1Z avionics. The upgradation would hav given Pak Cobras Gen III FLIR Surveillance and Targetting System (STS), AH-1Z Gen II mission computer, coloured MFDs, improvement in...

Pakistan not getting Tiger helicopter due to exorbitant cost, but France has offered Fennac as armed scout helicopter.

Can somebody tell me the difference and upgrades available in super mushak and mushak.PAF Academy uses which aircarft for primery training. :undecided:

Sir i dont ot like the suggestion of MI-17 helo used by PAF for SAR and CASEVAC. Let me define both categories AIR Force SAR helicopter. considering airforce SAR helo is to go in hostile area, enemy area for rescuing a downed pilot, the bird must be small, low profile, less noisey, can fly...

stub wings from MI-24/35 which is being offloaded must be removed for ease of transportation inside the cargo plane. However, before making it ready for flying, stub wings will be reattached again as flying without stub wings would seriuosly affect center of gravity (longitudinally and...

this is not Army helicopter it is Pakistan Air force helicopter. see on the tail, cleary written. looking on the picture it has additions of aircondition unit on left side, ferry tanks for extended range, chin mounted weather radar, and emergency floats for flying over sea, and using in the...

I never said that mobile carrying is a something which may be overlooked in war. however, enemy intel agencies are always on a lookout for a leak of information. so why not creat confusion and chaos by delibrating inducing a false news. Moreover, still i believe, that if all types of secure...

USE OF CELL FONE IN WAR OPEARTION in war, one of the essential ingridients of succssful opeartion is rapid passage of information from low to high echlons and back and forth. If somebody, passes some information on a mobile, assuming all other military means of communication are either...

The bird does not come with armour plating, nose weather radar (no flying navigation in obscure weather), no engine exhaust heat suppressors, an important thing i van see is that there are no hard point/mounting brackets/lugs visible on the side fuseladge. This means weapon carryong stub wing...

Respect is the name of the game. Mr Spear, You need to learn some manners, and ettiquetes while talking to 'insider', Remember, you owe ur life to them. Pakistan Armed Forces Zindabad:pakistan:

Well, i say its not wise enough to fire a Rs 20 Lac a piece, TOW so that bystanders are killed. If there were 20 plus taliban standing next to the tank, pilot should have used HE ammunition of 20 mm cannon, resulting in a devastating effect, using his 13xmagnification telescope. Now seeing...

In the segment of snipers, M82 Barret (Light Fifty), was shown 2 times. can anybody confirm by observation :what:

But attack helos alone cannot do the job in Counter-Insurgency Operations. When Operation Rah-i-Rast was launched, some exclusive footage was shown on GEO TV. It showed troops fast roping from MI-17 Helicopter, while Cobras provide top cover. In other TV footages, Ecuriuel and Bell 412...

The one with a radome nose has a weather radar, in it. Some varients of MI-17 come up with a weather radar, which is chin mounted and still, the central plexiglass panel is available for pilot/copilot vision. Another difference in the static display Mi-17 (airship in the background), is the...

No sir, A helicopter requires lot of time for preparartion and subsequent maintenance for a single flight. Cobra has endurance, of 3 hours. but for a single sortie, it requires 2 hours of preflight inspection and maintenance. Then helicopters have to undergo scheduled/periodic maintenance inside...

looking at the picture of MI-17 helo, if this is the version, its pretty cool. This MI-17 has an evident armour plate on bothe side of the pilot cabin. A hoist on left door, engine exhaust suppressor on engines (which means a countermeasure is available against IR/heat seeking missile). The...
