Not true it is just an assumption.

I wish that PN might gain a chance to acquire some nice helicopters from Muslim countries like used Puma ones to convert them for SEA role.


We did get used Puma Helicopters from "Muslim" countries....:"PAA has acquired some from UAE" !


Nishan did not kinow that "Hassan" is a old men ;) he thought he had finde somone in his age (check Hassans picture ;)

Bought them in mid to late seventies!

some years ago they did get a body overhaul and a upgrade !
 
@Ulla

Can you share some info. as to when and how we got the Pumas from UAE? I don't remember that transaction taking place in 1977 -1979.

The Puma registry clearly shows with serial number for both production and allocation. From that info. it seems they were delivered to Pakistan after production!

Though UAE does use Puma and Super Puma for Naval use.

It's true were picked up for spares but then refurbished and put into service. It was in the early 2000s.

A selam Sir,

I cant finde anymore the Link or ther source now, but I have seen the pictures and on the tail of the Helicopter was written something like "Dragoon", according to the pictures which I have seen, they have a dark grey scheme and are extensivly used by SSG. May be some senior Members @fatman17 @hassan1 can sheet more light here ? thx

regards

^^^ Why?? + yes but surely the P8 will be better off the bat than any UPG P-3, so why not?? Surely the IN having it is a threat to PN? The P-3 Can't compete.

Boeing is working on upgrading the P8s for the US Navy. I guess it is better for PN to keep using P-3s right now and than acquire much more modernise version of P-8s few years down the road.

Tell me one thing! There are many Muslim countries who are operating and looking to give away their Puma Type and Mi-17s which PA, PAF, PNAF and Pak Paramilitary can induct easily with upgrades.

I am sure there are 100s of Puma type and Mi-17s waiting for us.

Why would any country give away operational helicopters ??
