[sherdil76]

Can anybody tell which helo out of these two is capable to fire TOW at night and which is not

left wala bhaiya... that is what american originally given us then we bought some nightvision kits for which yankees demanded a hafty amount for installation... we had no option but to keep them in safe for long, later AWC did a great job using the local resources at considerable cheap price, which not only benefited the army but what AWC earned (money and experience) was utlised in JF-17 and another classified project

the best thing i like about AWC is that, mostly they are young people with creative minds and motivation hence they proved themselves as more successful in R&D organisations.

US delivers two Bell helicopters to Pakistan Army​

Updated at: 2239 PST, Tuesday, May 18, 2010
ISLAMABAD: The United States government Tuesday delivered two Bell 412 EP helicopters to the Government of Pakistan to assist the Pakistan military in its counter-insurgency efforts.

The U.S. Army Brig. General Michael Nagata handed over the helicopters to Brig. Tippu Karim, 101 Army Aviation Commander during a signing ceremony at Qasim Army Air Base in Rawalpindi, said a press release of the US embassy issued here today.

The U.S. purchased the two enhanced-performance utility transport helicopters, valued at $24 million, to support Pakistan’s counterinsurgency operations. The U.S. also provided $20 million in associated spare parts, special tools and other equipment to support the aircraft.

“The purchase of the aircraft demonstrates the United States’ full commitment to a stable, long-term strategic partnership with Pakistan-one based on shared interests and mutual respect that will continue to expand and deepen in future years,” Brig. Gen. Nagata said during the ceremony.

During the last three years, U.S. civilian and security assistance to Pakistan has totaled more than $4 billion. Assistance provided and delivered has included support for medical aid, school refurbishment, bridge and well reconstruction, food distribution, agricultural and education projects.

Specific security assistance includes 14 F-16 fighter aircraft, 10 Mi-17 helicopters, more than 450 vehicles for Pakistan’s Frontier Corps, hundreds of night vision goggles, day/night scopes, radios, and thousands of protective vests and first-aid items for Pakistan’s security forces.

In addition, the U.S. funded and provided training for more than 370 Pakistani military officers in a wide range of leadership and development programs covering topics such as counter terrorism, intelligence, logistics, medical, flight safety, and military law.
