PAA (Pakistan ARMY Aviation) Eurocopter AS550 utility choppers with Mil Mi-17 transport chopper somewhere at northern areas of Pakistan

Since USA is not willing to upgrade our Cobras and Z-10 is not a matured platform yet best choice for PAA, to fill the gaps is get Mi-35 from Russia asap and look forward to get Mi-28 Havoc in the future, and if by that time USA agrees to upgrade our Cobras that would be cherry on top. But we need to keep in mind that this would only happen after they have given the Indians AH-64.

What if India rejects the Rafale deal and opts for the MiG 35. Then doors to PK will again be closed by Russia. Will then France reopen the sale of war materials to PK. If so then the Tiger or Tigre attack helo could come back in the picture. Geo politics at play.

According to the WP, PK is in negotiations with Russia for 32 Mi35 armed helos.

Some say the number is 40 you are saying the number is 32 lot of confusion

India might not go for Mig-35 they'll buy more Su-30 instead, if Rafale deal is scrapped. And the way India is getting closer and closer to USA and buying more and more western weapons I don't think Russia would refuse to deliver (IF the deal is signed). And there was a reason I said asap because the more time we take in signing the deal more time we are giving the Indians for lobbying.

The latest news is that US is proposing $500 mill for CT support for Pakistan. This could pave the way for the Super Cobra or additional Cobras from EDA stocks.

Most likely figure is 36. Equivalent to 3 PAA squadrons.

highly unlikely to happen they would most probably give more mraps to us super cobras (we shouldnt dream of them)

Well I think if decide to go for MI-28 and Russia agrees to sell them than there are really high chances that USA will try to stop this by offering us super cobras

If that happens what do you think Pakistan should do? Go for cobras or seal the deal with Russians?

Cobras would be easier to induct.

Mi-17

 

[black-hawk_101]

This IAR 330SM Puma was acquired by Pakistan Army from UAE.AF in 2009 and is operated on front line by the 'Dragons' squadron

View attachment 190952

I think PAA should acquire Puma class and Mi-17s class helicopters from Muslim countries and upgrade them locally.
