Pakistan Air Force Transport

Rafi do you know which transport planes the Chinese presented to the ACM? Are there any plans to introduce the Z20 to replace the Mi17 and Puma fleets?

I like Z20 heli looks like black hawk very sleek and beautiful we should think for her to replace aging puma and Mi 17 .

At this stage Mi 17s and refurbished Pumas seem to be the most cost effective options for medium military transport helos. Another option could be the Boeing CH47F as the company is looking for more FMS sales. The price would be the stumbling block. The Chinook worked admirably during the Kashmir earthquake.

Chinook helicopter at $38 –million a piece costs twice as much as an MI 17. Besides, for Pakistan’s weather conditions MI 17 is the optimum medium lift helo. Even the US army purchased 30 M1-17 helos for deployment in Afghanistan.

Fatman sir I think if we pitch Boeing good numbers of Helis for sure price will come down & I agree with they looking more clients Boeing is big trouble not too many clients for military hardware .

EDA CH47D/E are available which would suit us with an refurbishment.
