Don't you guys love your Cobra's anymore?.
PA has about 40 AH-1F i would love to see them get MLU like F-16s are getting.
dude right , section "militry aviation"?
dude check out the name again & read it carefully! its "AW129 Multi-Role Combat Helicopter".
did you get it!DUDE
Dear khan, shahib
very nicly selected comments, ya cobar's are good till today but we had to look forward any way, i guss it would be good that if we, have a seprte , air command just for heli's!
and should , hava a mix of , things! i mean Z-9c, COBRA'S, AW129 ,WITH SOME of other available birds?
i also really hope PAK-CHina are secretly working on their own medium attack helicopter in the lines of JF-17!
i guss, to expensive! we should get new bird s with new directions?
noo.. PA should stick to AH-1 for long as possible! PA cant afford to lose these birds as it would be more cost effective to upgrade them then to induct 30-40+ million dollar chopper.

how long......?
the next century?
AH-1 already 25 years old!
are you going to be serious or you are just gonna pass around sarcastic remarks? you think pakistan has enough money to full fill your wish lists like phasing out AH-1s and inducting AW-129s ASP?
please get serious "dude".
not all AH-1 in PA are 25 years old, recently inducted onces have less hours clocked and in good condition. Pakistan military has a step by step transition to upgrade their fleet cost effectively.
P-3C --> P3-C Upgrade III.75
F-16 A/B ---> F-16 MLU M3
AH-1F ---> (if possible, they should be upgraded with Ah-1Z avionics)
FFG-7 ---> refurbished with minor upgrades
so you see... these war machines play crucial role for low budget military "pakistan" in indo-pak context. they will be used for stop measuring gap until more capable platform is available in 15-20 years. dont for get the prise tag, in F-16's case. much of WOT funds have been allocated for these upgrades so it will cost pakistan only 12-13 million dollars and the product will be a one cheap yet effective machine in block 52 standard! and mind you block 52 cost no less then 30-35 million dollars same with mirage-2005.
so yes its a great deal for pakistan.
