Why armed forces not investing in locally manufacturing helicopters in Pakistan after succes of JF 17 project

[Genghis khan1]

No R&D I guess. JF-17 b Chinese engineers ny bana ker diya hy.

 

[Zarvan]

Not just helicopters. We need to invest in transport aircraft also

 

[MisterSyed]

Resources are a big question mark , China wants to earn money from Pakistan through Sales and America won't allow any Local Manufacturing so will its Puppets in Europe Let it be our Best Friend TUrkey. The only Option is to Create a New Aircraft or Reverse Engineer one , We are short of Funds to Create a New Project from Scratch and Reverse Engineering will Cost us alot (Diplomatically). Unless we clear up some funds for a New Helicopter Project then will we have a locally built one or China gives us a License for it

JF-17 is a Chinese jet with Pakistani input, nothing more

Reverse engineering ???
They couldn’t make a simple mirage frame after working on those aircrafts for 50 years.
Are you expecting reverse engineering a helicopter from Pakistan? For that you need brain.

 

[Bossman]

Economies of scale

 

[Super Falcon]

Economic of Pakistan never going to be better even in future we are heading towards default state sooner or later due to idiot decisions by old politics from Zia till today

Anyway I think establishment should poke their nose out of politics and work for betterment of the force

@Zarvan agree our transport fleet is almost done and dusted need new aircrafts

Engines might be Hard but Reverse Engineering is possible. They don't really focus on it because they have much better options

which engine is used by t625? if its European than its a big no no...... on the other hand we could go with z20 once its ready for export..... potentially there can be many diff variants of that chopper!

 

[Hassan78610]

To what extent drone can compliment an attack helicopter? and if so what is the ratio in current modern armies around the globe. Masomana sawal.

Turkey is your best option, in 2 years they will start producing 2024 helo engine TS1400 on mass scale for their helicopters fleet, I think it is right time to jump in to that band wagon for you, some kind of JV would be win win for both countries,

 

[Super Falcon]

Pakistan must get the utility halos on TOT to move forward

TEİ TS-1400. In late 2024 or early 2025, all certification processes will be completed and mass production will begin. If it was produced only for military use, it would be in mass production now. Certification processes for engines produced for civilian use take a long time and are expensive.
