I'm pretty sure Zulus will be kept away for our eastern border, of course they will play around with them in KPK, but thats just to get a good hold on them. They need to master it before it can be put against any enemy.
 
Abay kia chutiya smjha howa hai tum nhi do ge to kia koi bhi nhi dega

Russian Mi-28Nm is the best of the best option but i think that PAKISTAN feel compatible with American weapons
Agree with you bro
 
this is the benefit of all doors opened man look this is how india juice nations learn this tactic for god sake
 
It would be interesting to compare the unit cost of our missile and heli with your probable deal of missile and heli
Yeah for sure in 2 billion we are getting 22 block3 apache's with 500 hellfire & 15 chinooks

For paying half, 1 billion$ You are getting 15 ah-1z viper with 1000 missiles.

Compare both deals operationally

i disagree its bad sign for poor country but we have no option for survive sir
 
Yes the deadlines can be extended but they also have a limit to how much one can wait. I hope you would understand that you have to live in the present tense not in past or future. If we look at the present GOI always thinks that they are going to delay all the procurement that are required because they might have to face a lot of criticism and face accountability issues if they sign multi-billion dollar deals too rapidly.

These deals might not complete in the stipulated time due to the huge back log.

On the other hand when we look at Pakistan and the deals they do we can see that they are not large but they are designed to a specific time frame. Pakistan tends to have an upper hand regarding the time frame and also in maintenance.

Now if the AH-1Z or any other Heli is procured before the Counterparts then it is a bonus. Why? The time to achieve full command would not be compromised by the late arrival. More over some more hands on experience would have be gained during the counterparts training phase.

Though this is off topic.
One has to wait because of more they wait better they get best business opportunities

India has huge market that any other nation around the globe has
US is desperatly waiting to grab share of this market for years

Any expert can analyse this apache deal is just a tip of the iceberg there many huge projects waiting in line.

USA knows that India will provide there market huge share with its large defence procurements they know we pay them Hard cash. Not ask for soft loans.
 
if went through USA will be giving Pakistan some serious fire power... that it needs for fighting terrorist and a large army toward the east .cough ,cough ..
 
Z-10 and T-129 both, won't be procured together......only one of them.



Agreed, but since Turkey has it's own full T-129 ATAK program underway, why would it want local systems integration in the AH-1Zs? Just get them as they come.


The tender AH-1Z selected had been opened at the beggining of 2000's. I mean It is not a new development. Today, We have developed an AH-1Z like attack helicopter that We rules each parts from mission computers to avionics, missiles and sensors. Atak helicopters are being manufactured with a speed of 12 per year at present.
 
Does anyone know which helicopter they used at the end of movie Furious 7? Because it looked freeking awsome.
It was custom made, probably a mi17 made to look like a stealth chopper.
 

AH-1Z in action
 
That's a smart idea.
What's the engagement range for the rockets compared to hellfire?
How effective are they against armored targets?
Its has almosy the same range as the hellfire which is 7 to 8 km. The system uses hydra 70 mm rockets which have 4 to 5 kg warhead.
