It will depend on how soon Denel can get a functional Rooivalk Mk2 prototype ready. But Denel Aviation did promise flexible technology transfer and co-production benefits for an early Rooivalk Mk2 customer.Although according to friend no way in near future Pakistan would have less than 100 attack helicopters if that is really the case than we may see this beast in Pakistan but which ever beast comes it's time we get them with TOT and produce them in Pakistan.
Romania initially built the Puma under license from France. They shut it down in the early 2000s, but Airbus Helicopters bought it up and decided to shift the H215 Super Puma line there to bring the H215s' costs down. The plant opened in September.I never understood one thing how did Romania get the production line for the Puma? PAA operates Puma as well and now it is interested in the production line which is a positive sign. As for rooivalk project being revived could that heli be as customizable as our JF17 for example as in one can add systems to it for their own needs. could be why things are getting cozy with SA.
