I am sorry but that cant be true, if 300 BTR-APC are operational, why we did never see them in service with the Pakistan Army ?

Only some were seen in UNOby FC.

If we would have 300 than we should upgrade them in Ukraine with better protection/weapons and use them in war against TTP, but thats not the case, we are still using TOYOTAS in Swat and FATA.

That 300 BTR-APC are in operationalservice with Pakistan Army in Pakistan cant be true ! @ fatman what do you think ?

the BTR's are mostly operated by the FC and we dont have 300 of them.

how much does a Hydra 70 rocket costs?
I know they come with different warheads and fusses, but whats the average cost?

 

[airomerix]

We must be having more than 300 BTRs. No?

Z-8A/B/K/KA/KH Super Frelon


As an army transport version, Z-8A was developed by CHAIC and 602 Institute and was certified in February 1999. Two Z-8As were delivered to the Army for evaluation in 2001 but suffered from poor quality and performance due to the insufficient WZ-6A engine. Only a small batch of 9 Z-8A (S/N LH978xx) were delivered to the Army since November 2002. Consequently Army decided to order more Mi-17V5s from Russia instead of additional Z-8As. Finally in 2007 PLAAF started to acquire dozens of much improved Z-8K (S/N 30x7x) SAR helicopters and Z-8KA (S/N 616x, 626x) transport helicopters for downed pilots or paratroopers. These specialized variants are equipped with a FLIR turret and a search light underneath the cabin plus a hoist and a flare dispenser attached to the fuselage. At least one Z-8KA was fitted with a terrain following radar (?) under the nose. The engines is thought to be the upgraded WZ-6G turboshaft. A dust filter is installed in front the of engine intakes. Z-8K/KA also features a glass cockpit. Another variant dubbed Z-8KH was developed for the PLAAF unit stationed in Hong Kong, which has chaff/flare launchers installed in the floats. The first batch of 4 will be delivered in early 2010 (S/N 630x). Recent photos (February 2011) indicated that PLA Army ordered a new batch of the improved Z-8Bs (S/N LH958xx, 968xx, 988xx, 998xx) similar to Z-8KH but with the floats removed to reduce weight. A new glass cockpit similar to AC313 has been installed. It was rumored that Z-8B is powered by Canadian P&W PT-6B-67A turboshaft but this has not been confirmed.
