#Pakistan is now preparing to induct the AH-1Z Viper:

The Pakistan Army’s Military Engineer Services branch released a tender for the construction of a hangar, tarmac and maintenance facilities in Multan for the Textron Bell AH-1Z Viper.

You need to have 2 things to buy something. Firstly money and secondly a willing seller. The first can influence the second to some extent however, international policies determine which weapons are sold to whom. In this case you have neither the first and on that account the second.

This is savage.

The hell fire [emoji91] bring a long range weapon with 6-10 km range vs tows or baktarakin 3-4 km range

Lastly March 23 parade perhaps will disclose what delivered mi-35, ah-1z, jf b model and new air defense systems etc

what will be the role of older cobra gunships..will they be retired?

Most likely phased out once the T129s are inducted in numbers. The main issue I think is being unable to acquire spares for such an old machine and if the serviceability rates are too low, then might be cheaper to retire them. Its possible they might keep a small numbers flying by cannibalizing some for parts or acquiring used ones from Bahrain and Turkey (maybe even Japan!!) once those countries retire them.

i thought they will be huge amount of them in EDA stock for spares..i susa blocking spares

 

[GriffinsRule]

Just could be lack or shortage of viable spares too ... a few years back Turkey sent spare parts of AH-1Fs free of cost to Pakistan as well.

 

[fatman17]

There is no shortage of cobra spares, it all depends where one procures them, govt to govt or open commercial sources which can be expensive.

 

[GriffinsRule]

That means we might see them being retained in service for some time to come

It would be best to keep them up and running for years to come , Cobra's were effective against TTP in FATA , giving them to FC to guard and surveillance the Pakistan Afghan border will be a good idea, as the AH-Z1 are supposed to be stationed in Multan .

I think they will be able to fire Sidewinders , I don't see a issue there for Americans to remove that Capability .
