AH-1Z Viper, 1000 Hellfire II Missiles approved for sale to Pakistan.

[Donatello]

well why i am smelling only AH-1Z will be future of Pakistan . best thing here is hellfire missile man nothing can beat it .its battle proven . z-10s are here for test and real war experience only .my two cents


no way they will never do anything as past they never stopped us

Actually, they are still blocking the transfer of the 5 potential OHP frigates..........because Attack helos can be put to use that USA wants (cleaning up the terrorists).....but not the same with ships, f-16s or P3Cs

Does anyone know which helicopter they used at the end of movie Furious 7? Because it looked freeking awsome.

 

[A.M.]

This is good news imo. We should dangle the Chinese and the Russians a little bit to see if USA will sweeten the pot or at least provide written assurance that we won't have any issues with getting the necessary parts afterwards.

 

[VelocuR]

I wonder why they went for Apache. Could It be due to availability at the time? AH-1Z is a great Machine as a alternative to the Apache!

Yeah South Korea know better than Pakistan, they have more high experiences and wise intellectual people.

They made right decision. Hence, SK and PK policy are not same levels.

I am certain PA made a excellent decision, Apache was offered in the early day of WoT/Musharraf (I believe they did or I am wrong?) but it was not selected. The AH-1Z has same powerplant, Weapons Package similar defensive countermeasures as Apache yet its Cheaper and it is meant for naval use thus it has few extra cards up it's sleeve. Most Navy equipment is superior to its non Naval versions.

They are AGM 114 R Hellfire 2

"The latest Hellfire variant is the AGM-114R multi–purpose Hellfire II missile, (aka Hellfire Romeo). According to the U.S. Army, the AGM-114R will replace all other Hellfire II missile configurations (K/N/M/P). The AGM-114R consolidates the capabilities of all previous Hellfire missile variants. It is equipped with semi–active laser (SAL) seekers into a single missile capable of defeating a broad range of targets. The AGM-114R can be launched from multiple air, sea and ground platforms, autonomously or with remote designation. From pre-launch to detonation, the AGM-114R employs a range of technological improvements that boost its effectiveness and utility. The AGM-114R features a three–axis inertial measurement unit, which enables properly equipped launch platforms to engage targets to the side and behind without maneuvering into position. The AGM-114R can be launched from higher altitudes than previous variants due to its enhanced guidance system and improved navigation capabilities. A new multi–purpose warhead enables the missile to defeat hard, soft and enclosed targets, which allows pilots to engage many targets with a single Hellfire loadout. The Army is currently only purchasing this variant. "
