U.S to Ship Russian-Made Helicopters to Pakistan

[Penguin]

It is most likely a Mi-17-V5 (a.k.a. Mi-8MTV-5) or possibly V7 (a.k.a. Mi-8MTV-7). Both feature a “dolphin” nose and a flat rear fuselage ramp for easier access Compared to earlier versions, the current V5 production model has a more powerful engine which gives better hot/high performance. The improved V7 version (will?) furthermore feature(s) an improved gearbox, the main rotor from the newer Mi-38 and the tail rotor from the Mi-28 attack helicopter. It has greater payload (+1 tonne), speed (20-km/hr faster cruise speed) and/or range relative to V5. This version is even more suited to high-altitude work and hot climates. The IR-diffusers are the same as those used on the Hind series (Mi-24/25/35) attack helicopters.

The Mi-17 is a more powerfull version of the older Mi-8. While larger than most Western medium helicopters, it can also carry more troops and a greater payload. It can also be equipped with long-range fuel tanks. Many have been modified with external racks that can carry bombs or unguided rockets. A decided advantage is that the price of a new Mi-17 is roughly a third to a quarter of the price of a Sikorsky S-70.

It is quite possible that the helicopters in question are fitted with western avionics, which makes them different from the regular production model and easier to operate by air forces which already fly western helicopters but not russian helicopters.

i hope you are not old enough for your eyes not able to read the NOTE at the bottom!
i will also request the senoirs to have a look into this matter! when i have posted a request note for mods why are you trying to get into this matter!
you better atleast read the complete post befor starting your propaganda campaing
anyhow this was my last ever reply to your post on the thread, after this i will only contact you via PM so that the threads are not spoiled by your pointless posts!

 

[Keysersoze]

sir i request to also check his post!
the way he is arguing cannot be tolerated by anyone however all i have done is to try to convince him to stay out of matters that need mods attention!
if you have said that i must not have started a new thread i would never ever have reacted in this manner as your way to say the same thing would have been different and respectfull! even if not so your are the man seating at the post where you can pass such comments! in my post i already said that i do feel that this info i have postd on a new thread could may have been psoted here and if you think it shouls be so you better kindly merge the threads! i started the new thread as it was a news break and i wanted the members to get the info! all this i had posted in my starting post but do you suggest that a simple member just like me can come up with an accusition to the other member in such a tone!
i request your consideration into this matter, however as per your post i will be carefull in future but please do check this matter.

regards!
