Can Fennecs be equipped with anti tank weaponry ?
"A tender was launched in May for 2.75-inch unguided rockets carried by the armed variant of the Eurocopter AS550 C3 Fennec lightweight multirole helicopter, which has good high-altitude capabilities.
To this point, it has been confirmed only that Pakistan operated the unarmed variant in service, but a deal for an armed variant has been in varying stages of negotiation since at least 2008.
The Fennec is equipped with stub wings for disposable stores and a rooftop infrared sensor, which Pakistan had initially asked to be moved to the chin of the helicopter. It is uncertain whether this modification has been carried out."
Why is Pakistan buying so many different Types of Helicopters ? Is it for China ? so chinese technicans can inspect them ? I mean !It must be a nightmare for the PA when they have to maintain more than 15 Types of Helicopters......more cost in Training and spare parts !
