[Windjammer]

According to a high-ranking military official in Pakistan, Islamabad is considering the expanding of the contract on the delivery of the Mil Mi-35 helicopters from Russia.

KARACHI (Sputnik) – Islamabad is considering the expanding of the contract on the delivery of the Mil Mi-35 helicopters from Russia, a high-ranking military official in Pakistan told Sputnik.

"Pakistan considers expending the existing Mi-35 helicopters contract with Russia, a number of additional machines will depend on our budget. According to the existing contract, Russia will supply 4 pieces to Pakistan," the official said.

The Mi-35 is a modern multipurpose attack helicopter, equipped with the latest navigation and avionics technology, capable of operating in high temperatures and in mountainous terrain. It can also be used for medical and transportation purposes.

Moscow and Islamabad concluded a contract on the delivery of 4 such helicopters in August 2015.

Pakistan may consider purchase of different types of Russia's military equipment including its advanced S-400 air defense systems, a high-ranking military official in Pakistan said.

"Russia has good tanks, helicopters, electronic equipment, air defense systems that Pakistan may consider. S-400 is a big ticket number and it will all depend on our budget," the official said.

The S-400 Triumf is Russia's next-generation air defense system, carrying three different types of missiles capable of destroying aerial targets at a short-to-extremely-long range. The weapon is capable of tracking and destroying all existing aerial targets, including ballistics and cruise missiles.

By now, the contract on systems' delivery has been finalized only with China.

Islamabad has no plans to purchase Russia's Sukhoi Su-35 fighter jets at the moment, a high-ranking military official stated. (Good)

"As of today, Pakistan has no plan to purchase Russia's Su-35 fighter jets," the official said.

The Su-35 is a 4++ generation aircraft employing technologies of the fifth generation, designed by the Sukhoi Aviation Holding Company, which belongs to the United Aircraft Corporation. The fighter jet (NATO reporting name Flanker-E) is an upgraded version of the Su-27 multirole fighter. It was first introduced to a foreign audience at the 2013 Paris Air Show.

In September 2016, Shahab Qadir Khan, deputy director of export promotion services in the Pakistani Defense Export Promotion Organization, told Sputnik that Pakistan was negotiating a deal on Su-35 and Su-37 jets with Russia.

S400 vs S400 would be interesting to watch.
Oops I forgot Russia put a self destructive switch in our S400(future claims).

Russia already start the delivery of S400 to China. Enough time for PA to test this new weapon in China.

 

[Skywalker]

So now s400 has taken the place of su35...

 

[cloud4000]

So now s400 has taken the place of su35...

Some Pakistani members on PDF are making immensely big leaps regarding its relationship with Russia. To go from Mi-35s to Su-35s, and now S-400s?35s

Nevertheless, Pakistan wants at least 12 Mi-35s. Four is simply not enough for their needs.

 

[YeBeWarned]

threads for Su-35 will keep coming ....

Tum kitne Thread delete karo gay , Har ID se Thread bane ga

you should not listen to random Keyboard warriors .. there are many Senior members and TTA and Mods who get information and sometimes they give hints , Su-35 or S-400 is just something Pakistan like, but that does not mean we are negotiating to buy or will buy, i am Sure PAF also like F-15, F-18 , Typhoon , Rafale , F-35 and Raptors .. but that does not mean we can or will buy them , reason could be any .. but fanboys like to jump on made up news some blogger writes on some random Page ..
and Pakistan army to be honest need 20+ Units of Mil-35's,cause we have a huge Border with Afghanistan which needs to be secured and remain under surveillance 24/7 .. we need them in numbers so we can support our forwards Border Posts, and also Transport Commando's and evacuate any Wounded in Time ..
