Navy Inducts Second Batch Of Z9EC Helicopters

[fatman17]

good news,
the Navy is relatively in bad shaped compared to other arms of military forces of Pakistan.
this induction of ASW Helo is a good addition.


this is not fair,
with the news stating the induction of IW/EW aircraft, my first thoughts were that PN have got there hands onto some Y-8X platform. if we can get some maritime survelliance aircraft from China this will be real good to support te upgraded fleet of P-3C!



naming 850XP meant for VIP transport for PN High Command as IW platform is not fair.

regards!

dual role a/c - 4 are ordered - 3 for IW/EW config and the 4th will be dual-role! - its fair!

phasers
photon torpedos are a relic now

Perhaps some transphasic torpedoes, tricobalt devices, and/or multikinetic neutronic mines then?

Hawker 850XP

Pakistan Naval Aviation

- Note: Although the first aircraft from an order of 4 was handed-over in Pakistan in late August 2010, it then returned to Dallas, TX for the installation of a VIP-specification interior. It is believed that the 3 outstanding examples from this order will be configured with 'special mission' equipment for a surveillance role.AFM

Can PN z9ec carry 2 torpedoes on one mission or is it limited to one torpedo permission

The type 054 a/p model shown at ceremony had a model of Russian asw heli ?? And not 4 ton z-9 not sure if that’s the case or at least it looked like Russian 11 ton asw heli

Russian heli ?? Ka-xx Not sure

 

[khanasifm]

With 4 x 054 and 4 x Turkish vessels and 2x opv being added replacing 6 type 21 would mean there is a need to add more heli to existing 6 z-9s, and replacing older French alluotes like paa and paf

Another 6 or so would be minimum assuming all 54, Turkish and f22p would Need at least one with no spares or standby needed ??

I believe opv will get sea king and the rest will get new z9 so PN would be inducting close to 10 more z9s if no other alternate found
