Not sure of these helo numbers!

 

[Danish saleem]

Pakistan Army Operating more than 10 different types of Heli's, which not only increase the Maintenance cost, but also increase the cost of Training Poilets!
In my opinion, we need 2 or 3 type of Heli's, and try to learn the Technology, and invest in building our own Technology.

Considering that China, has struggled with helo/ gunship manufacturing what scope does Pakistan have to develop its own helo. How much do you think will it cost to reinvent the wheel and how many numbers do we need. Secondly who will transfer this key technology to you considering that there are even fewer producers of helo engines. The if you have to import engines are you any less dependant than before. You need to answer this before you can take your thoughts forward. Sometimes it is financially more suitable to buy than to make yourself and this is true if the numbers required are small.

Should start production only if you need a hefty number of them required, which in current situation isn't even possible leave aside even if PAA wants or not. 'Hip' is most suitable option to buy 100-200 with building local support structure.

I think there is no sanity in producing your own stuff if it costs you 20 -30 times more than stuff you can buy or slowly build with licence in due course. Slow and steady steps rather than high and mighty jumps with a lot of egg on chin and huge falls, is the name of the game.

Araz sb, contrary to popular belief, china has progressed successfully and much faster in turboshaft engine technology than their efforts in jet engine technologies. Look to see further advancements by china in this sector as many European countries (France in particular) have co-opted freely with China. AFA Pakistan is concerned, the military helo requirements are limited. For local production or JVs, the civilian helo market is essential for such investments.

According to the WP, PK is in negotiations with Russia for 32 Mi35 armed helos.

Why too much mi 35 .we need them but in limited numbers ...

Why not go for more advance like z10 , mi28 or T129 ???

 

[fatman17]

Remember it's a multi purpose helo - attack and troop carrier

According to ISHJ, 3 Mi28 will also be sold along with the Mi35. PAA to use in 1-2 punch against the militants. Mi28 leads and Mi35 follows with troops to clear the area.
