MOSCOW- Russia has lifted an embargo on sales of weapons and military hardware to Pakistan and is planning to supply Islamabad with attack helicopters, the head of Russia's state defense corporation Rostec said today.
"Such a decision was made. We are negotiating the sales of Mi-35 helicopters to the country," Rostec CEO Sergei Chemezov said. A source with the Pakistani Foreign Ministry told RIA Novosti there had never been an embargo on Russian sales to Pakistan in the first place.
It was rather that cooperation between Moscow and Islamabad was limited due to Russia's intensive trade with India, Pakistan's long-term rival in the region.
Russia has been supplying its Mi-8 helicopters to Iran, among others. In 2012, the two countries struck a deal worth $4.3 billion for the export modification of Russia's nigh-time strike chopper Mig Mi-28N, dubbed "Night Hunter" and for Mi-35 attack helicopters, a total of 40 aircraft.
So much for the mythical "Indian influence" on russia.Can some body explain the difference between MI-25 and MI 35 according to wikki they are pretty much the same and by the way Indians on their forums are taking it as stab on the back
Well what you think How many helicopters we may order ?I would like to use the Mig 21 example on those who are dismissing Hinds for being designed during the cold war era. there are so many examples of weapons, equipment and the vehicles that are based on the classical design and they are just working fine.
Now addressing all the respectful elite Defence Analysts and defence equipment procurement planners
guys do you know how old Cobra's are? they date back to Vietnam war. and what about Mig 21? on which our F-7 s are based...
Oh Daaaa.. but our cobras and F-7s are armed and equipped with photon torpedo and automatic ice cream makers.. ... why are you so stupid to compare our space age cockroach killers with Russian "junk"?
well geniuses... these Hinds also come with a mix of some old but proven and deadly weapons and new engines, navigation systems and ball busting fear factor and fire power that one can dream of. our Cobras are over used to exhaustion and our Huey's are having to cover for them..
these Hinds will not only make love to the innocent taliban but will also carry evil SSG troops that will put Jihad on the arses of those who will miss the Hind love
on serious note, the Pakistan army considers Indian Hinds a major threat while moving or in defensive positions and every soldier and every officer is briefed and trained and briefed and reminded with charts and books and classes and lectures on how to avoid its wrong side and how to defend against its attack and how to target and take it out without loosing life in the process.
MisterWell what you think How many helicopters we may order ?
and also explain the difference between MI-25 and MI-35 and I think we should order 36Mister
we should order at least 25 helicopters
I dont care about the looks.. and on the equipment side I would really like to have military grade (meaning very powerful) night vision equipment to track the enemy movement Sir.
sir I am telling you that Augusta based Turkish helicopter is an expensive and useless toy against insurgency and the Chinese Z-10 is unproven .... thing. I dont want to be rude to Chinese Mister.
Sir if it was up to me I would have used Napalm and pesticides to deal with Taliban so no need for cool looking helicopters Mister. 25 are enough mister
these Hinds will not only make love to the innocent taliban but will also carry evil SSG troops that will put Jihad on the arses of those who will miss the Hind love.
