According to Russian News Agency TASS, Russia’s state arms exporter Rosoboronexport has agreed to sell advanced Mil Mi-35M (Hind E) combathelicopters to Pakistan.

Although the initial contract apparently just calls for the delivery of four attack helicopters, political and military analysts say the fact that Russia is selling its most advanced combat choppers to Pakistan is telling and another sign that Putin intends to to flex Russian military muscles all across the globe.

Statement from knowledgeable Russian source

TASS quotes a knowledgeable Russian military source as saying "Following the results of the talks held earlier on helicopters, which Pakistan would like to get from Russia, a draft contract on the delivery of four Mi-35M gunships has been sent to the Pakistani side. Pakistan is now studying the document."

The source continued to note "A substantial portion of technical and financial issues has been coordinated with [our] Pakistan partners in the preparation of the helicopter deal. We do not see any insurmountable impediments to the conclusion of this contract. It may be signed already this year."

Relations between Pakistan and Russia improving

Political analysts also highlight that Pakistan and Russia had signed a defense cooperation agreement strengthen military-to-military relations in back in November of 2014. That deal was followed up by another ‘technical cooperation agreement’ that set up the legal framework for the sale of military equipment to Pakistan.

It has also become clear over the last few months that Pakistan interested in other Russian military hardwarebesides the Hind E.

Pakistan Chief of Army Staff General Raheel Sharif spent about 15 hours at an arms expo in Moscow on Tuesday. The expo was displaying Russia’s newest cutting edge weapons and military equipment. Sharif not only viewed the weapon systems on display, but also observed a number of live demonstrations.

“The army chief spent whole of June 16 witnessing dynamic defence expo. Highly impressive display of all types of arms, aircraft, and helis,” military spokesman Maj Gen Asim Bajwa tweeted after the visit.

Russia will offer equipment which is useful for counterterrorism purpose hence the helos.

 

[Super Falcon]

Mig 35 or SU 35 both are awsome machine with these we can have complete air superiority in air our navy cant afford aircraft carrier but can but its own air fighter jets in war time india will send its entire navy to khi giving current pn inventory india will get easily in shores of khi

 

[ACE OF THE AIR]

If Pakistan would ever go for SU-35 then it would be the Chinese J-11D or J-16.

The chances of getting Russian Mig 35 are more likely...
