[Arsalan]

If your good with used mi-171 then thats you

Pak needs JV in helicopters like with the Jf-17.

For what?
30 helicopters?

 

[Dr Shaheryar]

So as per you Pakistan's total Helicopter requirement is just 30?

 

[DESERT FIGHTER]

For what?
30 helicopters?

More like entire medium lift fleet.. a Pakistani huey or Augusta.

 

[Dr Shaheryar]

We are talking about Attack Helis here. Pakistan need atleast 75 Attack Helis.

Currently Pakistan has 80 Attack helis in different config.

Please do remember that we do operate many already and it is not like they are going anywhere any time soon.

Pakistan has 6 IAR 330 Puma
20 Eurocopter fennec
51 Cobras
3 Z10
4 MI35
I think total exceeds 80 Attack Helis.

15 Cobras to be inducted that leaves at least 50+ new attack helis requirement.

Puma's aren't attack helicopters
only 10 are fennec (rest of 10 are Ecureuil )

Eurocopter fennec is basically a utility helicopter not attack. Puma not an attack helicopter.

3 Z-10 were delivered just for trial and are not in service with PA.

51 Cobra + 4 Mi-35 = 55

 

[Dr Shaheryar]

they are fitted with guns and rocket pods.

z-10 took part in counter terrorism action.

check IAR 350 puma and eurocopter fennec as550 c3 details then comment.

Both versions in Pakistan Army are armed versions.

Fennec is lightly armed and basically a utility helicopter and puma is also. I don't know whether you know the difference between an attack helicopter and utility helicopter.

Z-10 was not purchased hence it was given by China to PA to test in counter terrorism operations in Zrb e Azb and it was returned after trials. You should first read something instead of bashing the other person. Yesterday you was quoting a false report about tanks and now attack helicopters. are you high or trying to troll?

 

[Dr Shaheryar]

For you information available is not reliable. Both Helicopters are used in Attack mode. But since you don't know the difference of different variations in use. I cannot discuss further. Also note nothing has been returned. They are still being used and data is send for evaluation. This I know because one of the Army Aviation Engineer who works on these helis and is a Major told me.

Mi-17 does have many good variants in many roles

Yes, we operate mant types of medium lift choppers.. MIs,Bells and AW139s... all represent the same category though.. medium class.

Which itself isnt a healthy thing for the military.. considering the logistics etc.

Sure .. they wont be going anywhere soon.. but a chopper program even if started today wont give fruit the next month or year either... it would still take years... unless we get a chopper under TOT... in which case we can go for Chinese MI clones.
