I think Pakistan shld also work to develop chopper manufacturing as they are doing for jet planes.
PAkistan may hav enough expe in MI-17, Cobra and Bell

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

[zagahaga]

one question...... do we still use mi-24 and mi-6?

 

[Luftwaffe]

@thomas.. requests were made to make available cobras but US continued to "dodge" prolonged this request and now the 3rd operation is underway and no cobras in sight from US.

 

[TaimiKhan]

one question...... do we still use mi-24 and mi-6?

Mi-6 have been retired i believe, as for Mi-24 they are there in quetta but flying status is unknown as i used to saw couple of them flying in late 2001 but keeping them flying worthy would be a tough job as getting spare parts would be a problem plus they are not the part of official army aviation flying strength.

 

[Luftwaffe]

mzubair..Eurocopter Tiger Attack Helicopter ....18 Being Inducted (2009-10)
I've to disagree with you here i doubt Pak Army would pay around $480-$500 Million for 18 Tiger gunship helicopters..

My guess would be Pak Army is waiting for turkish or Z-10 mean while upgrade the current inventory and "if" US agrees to sell more Cobras.

 

[pakpower]

Yeah agreed with you guys Pakistan must try with china for partnership for state of the art hellicopter.

2073 (cn 2073) The Alouette III is a true work horse and still in use in the various Pakistani military services
