Pakistan's tool of war: Why the Mi-35 Hind-E is an excellent choice

[Tipu7]

It is Insult to Hind.. Hind is far superior than Cobra.. Hind is heavy attack helo, it can carry more firepower.. Pakistan must use Hind as front line gunship.

No you didn't pick the point.
Hind is basically a very different plate form than cobra. Pakistan has better options to use as cobra replacement than Hind.
Hind will be used by SSG, WZ10 & Viper as front line gunships

the lesson india learnt during kargil was that you need a light and highly manuvarable attack helli on such hights 15K feet while all varients of Mi-35 loose there steam after 10-12K feet so in short Mi-35 is great asset for palains and desert warfare but is big liabilty on high altitude warfare and its more of a special ops support helli than a dedicated attack heli and for the same russians made KA-52 and Mi-26 so pakistan needs more vipers and Z-10s than heavy and bulky Mi-35s which are very much ineffective to the latest gen of MANPADS

This is what i said and that is why Pakistan Army Aviation maintaining a diverse attack helicopters fleet with Cobras, Z-10s and Hind-Es.
