Pakistan may receive 5 Apache

[iioal malik]

why would u.s not want us to have apache it depands on pak army if they want to have it or don't. the only reason is it's to expensive for us not anyother reason.have the money take it simple

 

[Sunny4pak]

all right as far as apaches but what about the news that "we have handed over the Bell 412 and Cobra Hellicopter to Pakistan with night vision abilities by US Ambassador" any confirmation from army or any other reliale source..........

 

[Blackpearl]

Night vision capable helicopter means that all the gauges, instruments, and caution/warning lights, cabin lightings, and external lights are modified so that they don not produce glare in the pilot vision when he is wearing night vision goggles.

I think all helicopters come as standard night vision capable, so that pilot can fly with NVG on.

Since we're getting F-16s and US concerned for transferring F-16s or tech to any other nation is clarified by Pakistan there should be no problem to the Americans regarding either selling AH-1Super Cobras or 20 Apaches..which still costs less then the F-16s..I'm keeping my eyes open..

 

[Sunny4pak]

Holbroke signals 17th amendment repeal

ISLAMABAD: US special envoy to Pakistan and Afghanistan, Richard Holbroke Wednesday said that the US government will provide Pakistan four MI’s and 17 helicopters.
Talking to Geo News abroad plane, Holbroke said the relief funds of $110 million are not enough for the Malakand affectees.

Commenting on the Swat operation against the militants, he said Pakistan did what it should, adding his country has provided the Pakistan Army with the night vision binoculars.

On this occasion, he expressed reservations over the release of Jamatud Dawa chief Hafiz Muhammad Saeed, saying, “His release has disturbed us all.”

The Islamic countries could not come forward to help the Malakand affectees, Holbroke adding The Organisation of the Islamic Conference (OIC) should have helped them.

The chiefs of Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) and Pakistan Muslim League (PML-N) have agreed to end 17th amendment, adding there is no difference of opinion between Nawaz Sharif and Asif Ali Zardari on the issue.

The militants in Buner, Malakand and the adjoining areas want to spoil the Pakistan of Jinnah, he added saying his country will not leave Pakistan alone at this critical juncture.

What does it mean by MIs and what is this "adding his country has provided the Pakistan Army with the night vision binoculars."

Definitely, USA is arranging procurement of MI-17 helicopters from any Eastern block country, and not giving their own original equipment.

US might have provided with special pilot/crew helmets fitted with night vision goggles, in abundance. this has added the capability for pilots to fly at night.

Regarding, MI-17s, Pakistan must seek air assault version of MI-17 helicopter having, cabin doors on both side, ramp, rather having opening doors at the raer, and air assault machineguns fittd on windows, preferablly Russian PKM guns (7.62 mm). Pakistan should also seek one of the helicopter fitted with medevac facility/lifeaving equipment, for rapid evacuation of injured trrops from battlefield.
