I have a model of this, when the Eurocopter representatives came, they gave little memos and and all that. Will post a pic later.

These helis are a good substitute to old Jet Rangers for recce.

BTW, which group are these in? 404 or 202?

We "never" procured AS550 C3 Fennec. that deal was scrapped and a very senior officer got court martial-ed as result of that.
wt we did procure were the AS350 Ecureuil.
The difference between the two is that ecureuill is the unarmed version of fennec.
So PAA current fleet consists of AS350 Ecureuill helicopters. Of which one we lost recently

that test and trial failed when conducted by PAA.
So we never procured them in 09/10

According to flight global we have 20 of them.

I think PAC should make some new facility to make Helicopters with Chinese in a JV like EH-101, Bell-412 and Bell-407 class but with new technology. Like: Counter rotating rotors and composites.

I agree that there was something fishy about the deal and AFM reported that PA did not liked or rejected this specific Version but Two or three days ago one of my Friend has spotted that JUNGLE CAMEO Ecureuil but had no Weapons carrying arms, though they are de-attachable, in Isl-Rwp.

aray bhai
10 Ecureuil and 6 Fennec's are in service with 1 attrition of the Ecureuil.

 

[Jango]

Where are the jungle camo's one based??

 

[alimobin memon]

Guys what the hell man we have them 20 of them !!

 

[Fieldmarshal]

I repeat
as of right now "we have no fennecs in service".
and this info is not from some magazine, it is the ground reality that i have stated above.

 

[surya kiran]

Why does it have a FLIR above and not below? Any particular advantage? Is it to hide behind the tree-line or something like that?
