What a waste of money and time these hand-me-downs Lynxes were.

Picture request. Is there a better or clearer image of the PN Z-9C #23 besides this shot that anyone can share?

Why not just sell them to an African/Arab nation??

What a waste of money and time these hand-me-downs Lynxes were.

The irony with the Lynxes is that Leonardo is offering the PN the AW159.

IMHO, the PN's still holding out for the Sea Hawk-series in some form (e.g., used, TAI T-70s, or new MH-60Rs).

Even if we account for the risk of sanctions, supporting the S-70/MH-60-series is relatively tenable thanks to the abundance of worldwide operators and its widely available inputs (e.g., GE T700-series engines).

Why not buy the Chinese one?? This is one area I think we should buy from Iron Brother. What's the hold up?

hmm...if you're referring to the Z-20-based one, I don't think that's available for export yet. Otherwise, more Z-9ECs is certainly a possibility (if not likely).

they were sold few years ago

I was reading on Quora that Mi171 is more of a robust workhorse when it comes to sheer cargo lifting capabilities than the Blackhawk platform

How would you compare and contrast the two?

MI 17 proves much better during afghan war and afterwards then Americans Blackhawk they performed very well in heat and dusty environment and were able to complete all jobs

If you mean the Lynx, they are mothballed. After a decade in storage, one of them is in the PN museum now. They are in no shape to be sold to anyone unless a kabariya for scrap metal

I'd take that too. I guess I'm a cheapskate tho.
