AH-1Z Viper, 1000 Hellfire II Missiles approved for sale to Pakistan.

Sir,
I wanted to know what advantage does having an air to air missile in a Heli accomplish if it is known that these are never going to fight against an other heli?

Can shoot down assault helicopters

And the point is that these will STILL kick the sheeet out of inbound mechanized divisions and columns with great accuracy. These will be used against terrorists and India (in case of a war), not Star Wars Alien Ships with Lasers on them. If you ask your military planners as to why they seriously objected to this sale, you'll know the seriously scary answer.

A THOUSAND Hellfire (emphasis on "HELL" and then "Fire" please) will literally create Hellfire on anything built out of metal upon contact. Somehow, your generals knew it very well and objected to this sale like crazy, compared to your own comprehension!!!

Actually India objects to everything Pakistan purchases. They can't help it.

Hi,
it is to shoot them at aircraft---fighter, bombers etc etc----and other choppers.

The base can inform the chopper of incoming enemy aircraft----the chopper lifts up and hovers behind trees, a mountain a building---and the moment the aircraft flies by---it takes aim and fires the missile.

But the goal of eevery helicopter pilot is to snare a fighter aircraft-----. As they hover behind a cover---the fighter aircraft goes by at high speed---the helicopter pops up---gets a lock and lets lose the air to air missile----right up the tail pipe.

How much minimum no. of attack helicopters are required to defend the eastern border?

India has 8 IBGs each with armoured columns. If they all attack simultaneously then atleast a 100 armed attack helos would be required which is not feasible. Therefore army has invested heavily in ATGWs.

Mi-35s and AH-1Z Vipers would definitely look sweet in our arsenal. Mi-35 is such a badass and the AH-1Z will turn everything into minced meat.

I'm curious, does one of them have any noticeable advantages over the other one?

A few things folks.

Here is a great pocket PDF on the Viper.

I hope Pakistan is eventually going to get the Cobra Radar system (equivalent to the Longbow on the Apache) with the helicopters, this is the AN/ APG-78 (wing mounted) below.

This will make the machine even more incredible. I'm surprised that Pakistan did not request this, as there is no mention of it.

I agree. But this practice degrades the quality of the forum and should not be allowed. We do have a responsibility to maintain the quality of the board.
Its a she by the way not a he!
