They are / were very good Scout helos, doubt they are on the offer table though.Aviation guys should look into OH-58 Kiowas
They are superior to Fennecs and other forward observation helicopters in terms of light attack and reconnaissance
No, They’ve been used in Ops many many times already, currently they’re deployed in Baluchistan covering convoys and Ops on a regular basis. Just because there’s 5 of them doesn’t mean theyre “just for training” (what would the army get from training with this helicopter anyways that they wouldn’t from another one?).Pakistan army just had 4 of these mi35 just enough for training in DACT not for actual operations
How much is the per hour cost to fly these?No, They’ve been used in Ops many many times already, currently they’re deployed in Baluchistan covering convoys and Ops on a regular basis.

Besides, PA will probably buy more if it needs to, this was a major symbolic purchase, PA needs proper gunships thats why they don’t buy it in large numbers.
That doesn’t necessarily mean that the Hind is any less fearful especially in a direct CAS mode. Its achillies is its inefficient hovering. Its best suited to high speed attack runs with its payload of unguided rockets or guns.No, They’ve been used in Ops many many times already, currently they’re deployed in Baluchistan covering convoys and Ops on a regular basis.

Probably not too much for the PA considering the shared power-plant with the Mi17 series. I doubt they’re using any expensive guided weaponry with it either for CAS roles as it’s not needed.How much is the per hour cost to fly these?
Even an estimate will do.
