No Army Aviation helo is having 20 mm cannon installed on it, either Huey or Bell 412. rather no where in the world, 20 mm Cannons are installed on Heuy or Bell 412. As i already stated earlier in the same thread that Army Aviation Bell 412 are earlier fitted with MG1A3s, but now they are fitted with M240H MGs.
UH-1Hs (Huey IIs) are not operated by PAA but MoI (Ministry of Interior), these helos are having M240H and GAU-17s
This arrangement does not seems to be for flying, and only for validation of concept (FLIR-ed MI-17) on ground. Main gimble is not attached to helo structure, rather it seems that some internal module of FLIR is attached to helo structure, onwhich whole load of stationary/rotary parts hinges. Secondly the way power/data cable is attached from FLIR to Helo itself, It has a great sag, and due to rotorwash, may flutter violently and snap lose from both or one end. Now you can also notice some sensitive parts underneath the same area, i.e. anti collision light, landing light, two pitot tubes and small white coloured avionivs antenna. The lose cable may aslo break lower glass panels. i am sure PAF engineers are only testing it for ground checks, and may not risk it to take it to air, the loose cable should be ducted under some cover flushed with fuseladge, so that no unnecessary aerodynamic drag is caused to Mi-17.
BTW, its Star Safire II or III?
Puma
that is not a puma !!!!
That is a Eurocopter AS350 Ecureuil.
ur not even close.
My bad, but the Major died in Schweizer 500 crash in river Chenab.
