The order is for land based Ka-52 Alligators not the naval variant (Ka-52 Katran). The latter is still under evaluation as part of an international tender.
I would like to see them in the same colour as the Apaches. Would look incredibly menacing.
Thanks for clarifying that. I was under the impression - from much of the previous information coming out of Russia that made the connection of this order to the Mistrals - that they were destined for the 2 decks. I guess a lot of presumptions were made, including training Egyptian pilots on the K models. Eeeesh! http://www.defenceweb.co.za/index.p...-ka-52k-pilots&catid=124:military-helicopters Another Russian source mentioned this particular contract was signed in December.
Woahhh really ? Rawalpindi is my hometown
Nice coincidence. A fun story; one afternoon I was out in our backyard playing football with some friends and my mother calls me in for bath time and dinner. I get to the bathroom and put all my dirty clothes on the bathroom floor before jumping in the tub. My mother comes in to take my clothes to put them in the laundry and suddenly she starts screaming. My father rushes in and next thing you know he's stomping on a scorpion that apparently latched to my trousers and just hung there! Big mistake by the scorpion because my father proceeded to pummel the poor thing and then scooped it up in a newspaper. I was later forbidden to play in the backyard.....but not for long lol. A vivid memory that I'll never forget.
