Beautiful SAR and CSAR asset!

What i do know is that it uses a Russian twin turbo shaft engine. Anything more than that you would need to speak to one of the Army Aviation guys here . My speciality is more on terra firma .

It seem this is the third order of same helicopter. In first batch we ordered 14 so if we are ordering same number than this makes it 42 or maybe more or less but we are slowly increasing our orders. And by the way this company is dam fast at meeting our orders.

What else Pakistan can get from them??

Air Defence systems and HandGuns and ShortGuns and Sniper Guns and hopefully FREMM Frigates

• Further AW139s for utility, SAR and EMS with deliveries starting in early 2018
  

• The AW139 proves the preferred choice for a number of military and government customers around the world
  

• Bestseller helicopter with over 1000 units sold to more than 250 customers in over 70 nations and nearly 900 units in service to date
  

Leonardo announced today that the Government of Pakistan has signed a new order for an undisclosed number of additional AgustaWestland AW139 intermediate twin engine helicopters. The aircraft will be used to perform utility, SAR (Search and Rescue) and EMS (Emergency Medical Service) operations across the nation. Deliveries are expected to start in early 2018.

The contract is a further step towards the completion of fleet renewal programmes spread over several batches plus logistic support and training. This event is a major achievement for Leonardo expanding the already successful presence of the AW139 model in the country. A fast growing fleet of AW139s is already in service in Pakistan, with several units operated by the Pakistan Government for relief and transport duties. The AW139 is the perfect fit to Pakistan’s operational environment, delivering outstanding capabilities and hot&high performance unmatched by any other existing helicopter type in the same class.

A very practical Support Unit , for Military. Not overly excessive but a right balance to develop this area for Aviation

Would be nice to see it's bigger brother also inducted for Navy

so this is the third batch order?
why not order in bulk to save money?
these orders are months apart and makes no sense.

it cant be then it would be an agreed amount to be confirmed to be purchased and then financed later.

lets say i buy 20 of these choppers i dont need to pay upfront. all you need is a deposit or the agreed amount and the rest can be paid upon delivery in the next fiscal year. or you can get a loan and call it a day.

And what if they need guarantees from some costumers?
