Pakistan Army Aviation Corps - Updated

[fatman17]

Does army has any plans of upgrading existing cobras?
or replacing them?

all current Cobras are to be upgraded to AH-1F standard. some have been and others were in the process (which may be delayed now). there was also a understanding, in fact a allocation of US500m in the CISF for the purchase of 1 squadron of Super Cobras by 2014. this may also be on hold for now.

the current Cobra fleet is in 'bad' shape due to extensive use in the WoT. i know of atleast 2 writeoffs and several helos taking 'ground fire' and require major maintenance of their airframes.

Just making "delays" as a card in the current poker game with us.
The Cobra's are extremely valuable assets for us in the WoT...but since we are not doing exactly what the US wants, they would rather have us suffer more at the hands of the TTP.
