Pakistan Army Aviation Corps - Updated

[fatman17]

In March 2015 Pakistani Army evaluated 3 Z-10s for replacing its aging AH-1S fleet but did not acquire the model.

A recent image (July 2015) suggested an improved Z-10 (Z-10K?)was under development and a prototype has flown. It appears to feature an improved targeting system with an additional sensor behind the PVDS and a new 23mm gun.

Sorry, but this is not an upgraded, improved version but simply an old image of the no. 03 prototype. just look at the fuselage configuration ...

Is Z10 underpowered?
Does it need new more powerful engines???

Engine is an issue esp in hot and dust environment of FATA

 

[Cool_Soldier]

Hmmm! It seems z1o is not meeting our requirements yet.It might take some more time to be matured and to be picked up by PAA. What is left for us is Russian Helos or Turkish option which again has technology string linked with US sanctions in case of situation changes.

So better adopt Mi 35 or Mi 28

Two Cessna 208Bs Delivered to Pakistan Army

Posted on 3 February, 2016

New Honduran Air Force Cessna 208B Grand Caravan EX FAH-020 taking off on December 23 from Base Aérea Teniente-Coronel Hernán Acosta Mejía Air Base, Tegucigalpa-Toncontín International Airport. Two of the type have also recently been delivered to the Pakistan Army. Mario Theresin

A PAIR of new production Cessna 208B Grand Caravan EXs were delivered to Pakistan during December and are believed to have entered service with the Army Aviation Corps. The comprise N546PA (c/n 208B5246) and N548PA (c/n 208B5248), which were cancelled from the US register on December 30 after taking up military serials. An order for these aircraft had not been announced and it is unknown whether any further examples are due to follow.

Both aircraft, painted in camouflage colours, had departed from Wichita/Mid-Continent Airport, Kansas, on November 30 for Moundridge, also in Kansas. They remained there until December 14, when they left for Kokomo Municipal Airport, Indiana, then on to Burlington International Airport, Vermont, before flying to Santa Maria in the Azores on December 17 and then onwards to Pakistan.

We should have bought additional Y-12 would have been cheaper and we already have the infratsructure for the Y-12, cant understand this purchase !

Harbin Y-12 or has the Y-12 a negative operating history in our aviation ? @fatman17

Addition of new small birds will enhance our capabilities. Good to see any kind of development in Navy.
Good luck Navy!

You mean Army right ? And its not a good development if we buy more VIP planes !

 

[Cool_Soldier]

Yes., PAA, mistakenly wrote Navy.
But obviously good luck to every branch of our beloved forces.

Not VIP aircraft. Comm and logistics.
