Baktar Shikan

"The Chinese TOW in turn was renamed by Pakistan as the Baktar Shikan, as it is also manufactured under license by the country. Like the other missiles, Baktar Shikan can also be mounted on Pakistan’s Cobra attack helicopters and probably attack aircraft. At a distance of 3km, Baktar Shikan ATGM can destroy all currently known tank targets with 90% hit and penetration probability. With its long range, penetration power and a powerful anti-jamming capability, Baktar Shikan forms a potent defence against armoured targets."

13,000 produced to date!

the first Mi-17 lifting the cobra is piloted by Lt Col ansar i believe, not a pilot but of EME , he was involved in the recovery of this cobra.

why is there a parachute behind the cobra?

I imagine it is to stabilise the cobra during its flight under the Mi17.


+ any info behind the pic? What happened to the cobra?


Cool pic though- didn't think a Mi-17 could lift a Cobra, I guess you learn somthing new everyday!!

It's rather interesting the commanlity there is between Pakistani Aviation (helo) assets and Indian aviation assets (Not so much in the future but still). Mi-17, SeaKing, Alouette III etc. For so called "enemies" they like the same toys!
