South Africa did a really badass upgrade of Alegerias Hind gunships a few years back. Believe the firm was ATE Aerospace but not able to find any further info at the moment. Reference above: ATE Aerospace were acquired by Paramount Group. The above is marketed on their website as the Night...

You recently posted articles reference Embraer transport aircraft and I believe Brazil are producing Pumas under licence. Could a South African/Brazilian option be looked into?

Italian co. wins Turkish heli contract By SELCAN HACAOGLU ANKARA, Turkey Italy's Agusta Aerospace on Friday won a major Turkish tender worth $2.7 billion to co-produce attack helicopters as Turkey sought to diversify resources from its usual supplier -- the United States. For the first time...

Read this and first thought was you couldn't make it up if you tried. From Pakistani media it's clear the Mashal Khan murder has provoked universal outrage as has speaking to family living there too. On the other hand have some elements become emboldened by his killing? Some perspective of...

What does the future hold for SA330 in Pakistani service? Is there scope to transition to the H125 and consider Rooivalk alongside it?

@Zarvan other members are reporting the CZ bid is open to improved versions. As the resident SCAR lobbyist are FN Herstal offering anything similar to meet Pakistani requirements?

March 2015 National military parade Pakistan includes FM 90 low level SAM system. March 2017 National military parade included LY-80 low/medium level SAM. I wonder (more like hope!) what the March 2019 parade might include..............if it's a trend in the SAM capability I certainly welcome...

Ok you've made that clear. Regardless pointing at what someone else is doing doesn't hide what they have highlighted. It's certainly not an opportunity to start point scoring using religion.

Denel, I recall that the Rooivalk was in Turkeys attack helicopter competition but lost out. I seem to remember it was because of a supply issue with Eurocopter for engine components. Can you shed more light on this please?

Test and adjust. That's what an infantryman does to build up his position before taking a shot. Have any of the manufacturers that took part in the trial indicated they would look to improve their product based on the findings of the trials to tailor the weapon to suit Pakistani needs?

You're bringing up cows and Hindus here not me. Not the other gentleman. I can tell you now neither of us are from India. So kindly stop using that as an argument. This is not just a Pakistani matter. The video of the people marching to carry out this barbaric act were chanting La Illahah. Not...

Alhamdulillah I am fortunate living in the UK to meet and pray with brothers from all over the world at my local masjid. We are also fortunate to be receive khutbah and lessons from two Sheikhs one from Egypt and the other from Kuwait. I put this matter to them yesterday and they made it clear...

Not spreading hate. Having an honest discussion. You do know how a conversation works - right? Furthermore look at how long he's been a member for. I've been here since 2006 and I'll vouch for him. Got a problem with that then PM me. Nice to see you posting here again @AgNoStiC MuSliM its been...

Ukrainian Antonov planes could be an option.....

Are there plans to procure any more Panter guns from Turkey?

Sweet! Cheers for the pics. Had another browse of that Ukrainian arms export PDF someone posted in a navy thread and saw IMR 2 combat engineer vehicle and MTU55 bridge layer being offered.

I'd hope so. It will ease the burden on the electrical and mechanical corps MASSIVELY. Haven't seen too many variants of Al Khalid/MBT 2000 but there are for T84 and T80.

Gah should have said RIM 116. Trying to ask if it's comparable as a CIWS or if it's more for point defence.

@Glavcom most MBTs also have variants that support them on the battlefield like engineering, recovery and bridge laying tanks. Are there any systems like these based on T84 or T80 series? If so could you post pics of them too please?

Al Khalid is based on MBT 2000 and Oplot M is based on T80UD. Another possibility is that the existing MBT fleet of these series could be brought up to VT4 and Oplot M standards. Haider MBT could be an entirely new platform.
