[Cool_Soldier]

forget till MMRCA

Thats what I am gussing.
If Indian deal goes with French then Euro tiger deal would be finally dead.But Type-14 deal will be again alive.

If deal goes for Typhoon, then Euro tiger deal for us would be active again.

Lets wait a little more till MMRCCA is finalised.Game is going to end now

Plz elaborate ... couldn't understand your point. !!

well he was found involved in certain malpractices regarding this deal.
Fennec is a good platform but it is not suitable for our climate and temp. specially the hot, hazy and dusty conditions that prevail in central and southern Pakistan.
The evaluation team that was sent to evaluate the hele was not satisfied with the above mentioned aspects of the hele but the GOC was pushing them to give it the all clear as according to him the manufactures had assured him this huge weak spot in the heles over all operational capability will be removed.
So the team leader of the team sent to france to evaluate the hele contacted the CGS and told him the whole story, the CGS in turn told him to catch the next flight back and come back home along with the rest of the team.
An inquiry was initiated and the GOC PAA was sent packing and lost every thing in the process.

The AH-1Fs from Jordanian Air Force are very much in service. If I am not wrong, they were used in Azm-e-Nau too.
Here are some screenshots I took from ISPR's website.

They are flying in Pakistan wearing the Jordanian Air Force's camoflague and signs.

Sorry sir. Not my area of expertise. One thing is certain, the terrain they operate in and the camouflage is perfect. Maybe we decided to use the same camo in the terrain.
