The army Mushshak are not in good shape and seriously need to be upgraded or replaced

PAF should order new units and hand over some of its Super Mushshak to army aviation

I believe those army Mushshak don't even have air con and need to fly very early in the day to avoid heat, and who pays the price the pilots and the instructors
 
In 2013 it was reported that upto 16 AH1S / F Cobras were transferred to Pakistan’s army aviation. The actual figure is 8.
 
Does anyone have any news about the three Z-10 helicopters - how are they performing and what the pilots think of them?

you know these small piston bangars cab fly for 4 decades. If proper maintenance procedures are followed, almost all critical systems would get replaced a few times throughout its life, thus keeping the aircraft always in good flying condition.

I am not sure if Saab originally planned to have an air frame time expiry date, if they didn't then these aircraft should be in decent conditions.
