Very expensive deal , for 15 helicopters more expensive then our JF17 Thunder R & D
Pakistan will probably buy more, and the number seems okay for now. I don't think they'll run out as quickly as you think, but that's just me guessing.So what happens when the odd 1000 missiles run out , do we have a backup plan to make local versions of missiles ? replacements
200-300 Missiles will be used in first 2-3 months of war on terror
I just see shortages of missiles of this helicopters in long run
If we had gotten 50 Helicopters , and 5,000-7,000 Missles would have been idea for long term prespective
Pakistan should try to increase the number of these helicopters to 20 and if we can manage to buy 40 WZ-10 it would be biggest boost to Army Aviation.
