Pakistan Army Aviation Corps - Updated

[S.U.R.B.]

new 19-tube rocket launchers (70mm) similar to American M261 for a bigger fire power against ground targets

hope PAA will also use them against TTP

You have mentioned the Hydra there.It reminds me about the WGU-59/B kits for them, the unguided rockets.That makes it in to an APKWS (Advanced Precision Kill Weapon System).

I have my doubts that the Pak Army aviation is getting those kits with their ZULU helicopter deal.It's developed by the BAE systems( ...the kit should be available from the source).But, it's Pakistan who needs to put an eye i-e guidance system in front of those arrows the most.It's a cost solution for our aviation core.
The west does not only push for the development of their platforms and make them effective & safer for their militaries, but also you'll find them very much dedicated towards the evolution of their weapon systems.

Idea is great but we don't have the capability to "Engineer", when we become capable of "Engineering" then we can try "reverse engineering" major components.

Sir, What do you think about PAC reverse engineering Bell 412 or coming up with some derivative? Can they do it? Is it a good idea? What would be US's reaction?

I remember the Senate was informed that PAC is capable of reproducing AH-1s and Mirages etc. I believe that the AH-1 shares a quite a few components with other Bell helicopters.
