Can you explain why you believe the Tiger is the second best?
It has only a service ceiling of 4000m, can only carry 8 anti tank missiles, the Rooivalk and the Viper for example have a ceiling of more than 6000m and can carry up to 16 anti tank missiles.
Tiger is pretty comparable to PAs cobras, or HALs LCH and if you already have numbers of light attack helicopters, wouldn't it make more sense to add some heavy once like Apache, Viper, or Rooivalk?
That's exactly the same reason why I think the Tiger has no chance in the IAF attack helicopter competition. Why should we pay $50 million for an helicopter that can do hardly the same job that our indigenous can? Apache is way more capable and costs the same and we also have the option of Mi 28 and Ka 52.
The best choice for PA would be Viper, or Apache, because of commonality of weapons and logistics. But if you want to get rid of US arms, I would go for Rooivalk and replace the Cobras later with WZ 10.
How come france suddenly found a new love for Pakistan.
your point is vaild but i hate the unite costs because i can tell its coming straight from wikipedia which is not accurate... ..
Because they are not only ment for anti tank missions, I guess Cobras are in action against Talban in Swat too right? They will be deployed also against infantry other armoured vehicle and in our regions with high altitudes the ceiling matters.1. Why would it matter if an antitank/combat helicopter has a service ceiling of 'just' 4km rather than 6km: its targets are on the ground, not in the air.

has any senior made any kind of comparison? 50 millio is hell alot of money, why tiger is so expensive when comparing to other top of the range copters? what special tgier is hot on, which even Apaches n rest havet got?
any effort to elaborate will be highly appreciated, plus others on board will also benefit as no body seems to understand the difference b/t all.
