The pother Vipers have to go through manufacturing, i.e. if they are approved by the US Congress!

[AZADPAKISTAN2009]

lol 3 copters what a waste of money on old technology

 

[dilpakistani]

which source ?

 

[Quwa]

Incremental is the way forward, especially with the U.S. The funding is probably coming from whatever is left in the budget (CSF and all included).

Clearly the nalaik army didn't learn from the F-16 fiasco. Those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it.

I think PAA should simply cancel the plans of acquiring the Viperz as Congress like as always will not allow the sale of modern weapons to Pakistan. Instead PAA should ask for more AH-1 Cobras from US reserves and also negotiate buying AH-1s from Jordan, Turkey, Bahrain, Spain and Phillipines.

@patriotpakistan
Mind you language please. There are clear options open for PAA to acquire similar potent weapons easily from EU. I am sure that with additional AH-1 Cobras from Turkey, Jordan, Bahrain, Spain and Philipines. PAA will going to acquire new helicopters from EU and Russia too.

AH-1 is obsolete .. they can't fight in altitudes

AH-1 is obsolete .. they can't fight in altitudes

based on what facts?


The AH-1Z has essential changes in propulsion. It is powered by two General Electric T700-GE-401C turboshaft engines and has uprated transmission. One of the main external differenced from the AH-1W is a composite 4-bladed main rotor, instead of the previous 2-bladed rotor. It is worth noting that a 2-bladed rotor was distinctive feature of all Bell helicopter models. Due to these changes flying characteristics improved a lot.
