Pakistan cannot allow the war in Afghanistan to spill into its territory, Chief of Army Staff (COAS) Gen Qamar Javed Bajwa told his Afghan counterpart Gen Sharif Yaftali on Sunday.

Gen Qamar met the Afghan army chief on the sidelines of a meeting of the Quadrilateral Counter-Terrorism Coordination Mechanism (QCCM) in Dushanbe, Tajikistan.

The COAS assured him of Pakistan’s full support, according to an Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) statement.

Senior military leaders of the four member countries including COAS Gen Qamar, Gen Yaftali, Gen Li Zuocheng of China and Gen Sobirzoda Imomali Abdurrahim of Tajikistan attended the meeting.

All four leaders welcomed the QCCM initiative and expressed hope that an inclusive and cooperative regional approach would be the best way to eradicate terrorism.

Speaking on the occasion, Gen Qamar highlighted Pakistan’s achievements in the fight against terrorism and in eliminating terrorists’ safe havens from its soil.

Unfortunately such incidents will continue until and unless we completely fence and mine the border with 24-7 monitoring. This is the only way to safeguard our borders. We should learn from the israelis.

Helicopters From Russia

The Mi-35M gunships will replace part of Pakistan’s aging attack helicopter fleet.

By Franz-Stefan Gady

August 29, 2017

The Pakistan Army Aviation Corps (PAAC) took delivery of four Russian-made Mi-35M attack helicopters, Pakistan’s Defense Export Promotion Organization (DEPO) confirmed in a statement issued at this year’s International Military-Technical Forum (Army 2017), which took place August 22-27 in Moscow,according to local media reports.

“The contract was signed, we received all four cars [Mi-35Ms] and now we get new equipment,” DEPOs Brigadier General Waheed Mumtaz told reporters in Moscow. PAAC are now getting acquainted with the new equipment. Based on the gunships’ performance a follow-up order for additional helicopters is under consideration, Mumtaz said. The general also noted that other Pakistani orders of Russian military equipment might take place depending on the Pakistani military’s experience with the helicopters.

Russia officially lifted an arms embargo against Pakistan, in place since the Soviet-Afghan War, in June 2014.

Pakistan and Russia agreed to the $153 million helicopter deal during then-Chief of Army Staff (COAS) General Raheel Sharif’s visit to Russia in June 2016. A preliminary contract was concluded at the Pakistan Army General Headquarters in Rawalpindi in August 2015. Pakistan military sources indicate that PAAC could purchase a total of 20 Mi-35 helicopters in the coming years. “Given the cost of building the necessary Mi-35M logistics and maintenance infrastructure, expanding the fleet beyond four aircraft would financially be a sound decision for the Pakistani military,” I explained in December 2016. The Mi-25M is a formidable weapons platform, as I noted elsewhere (See: “Confirmed: Pakistan Is Buying New Attack Helicopters From Russia”):

The Mi-35M attack helicopter, the export version of the Mi-24 gunship, was developed by the Mil Moscow Helicopter Plant and has been produced in Russia since 2005. Next to serving in the Russian military, the aircraft has been exported to Azerbaijan, Brazil, Iraq, and Venezuela.

The company website of Russian Helicopters notes that the Mi-35 is particularly suited for mountainous terrain and can be deployed “round the clock” in adverse weather conditions. The website notes that the helicopter offers “combat use of guided and unguided weapons in regular and challenging climate conditions” and is “operational for attack flights at altitudes of 10-25 m daytime and 50 m at night over land or water.”

The helicopter can be deployed for a host of different missions, including transporting up to eight paratroopers and carrying military supplies weighing up to 1,500 kg internally and 2,400 kg externally.

It is unknown in what configuration the helicopters were delivered. The gunship is fitted with a mounted twin-barrel GSh-23V 23 millimeter cannon, and can also carry 80 and 120 millimeter rockets, as well as anti-tank guided missiles. The Pakistan Army is specifically looking to enhance its close-air support capability for counter-insurgency operations as well as anti-tank warfare.

I'm beginning to get a bad feeling about the SuperCobras

Well let see Sir hopefully we get them but still if not I think time to evaluate Russian MI-28 or KA-52

 

[TaimiKhan]

I'm beginning to get a bad feeling about the SuperCobras

I pray that they dont give as it will give an excuse to look other options which can be more reliable and good for us. Once we get the zulus, then we will have constant fear of sanctions and i dont see any close ally to help us since no one operates them.

Get 16-20 Mi35s and supplement them with 30-40 T129s.
