I have the exact same sentiments. It would be logistical nightmare to maintain all these platforms.
No who said it would be Logistical Nightmare ?
Platform already exist
1. Cobras (70's , 80's . 00's and Present) we already do all repair work locally
2. Bell Transport Choppers already a efficient process in place for repair (Trusty workhorse)
3- Mi-19 , again we keep these Helicopter Ships running smoothly with regular maintenence we already have experience of 7-10 years with this platform
Now the new platform:
1- Z-10 , we have the brand new helicopters 5 years warrenty and we have people getting trained on it, we had these for 1.5-2.0 years ?
2- T-129, we anticipate a training for new platform and we plan to hire brand new Young Engineers to develop new generation of engineers to look after the choppers
3- Mi-35 , Gunship Transport Choppers , we are obviously looking to gain maintenence deal for these items but every
one knows Russian equipment is a bit more easier to maintain
4- Super Cobras , obviously new machine need some training, but perhaps some old Cobra engineers would be able to pick up stuff on new machines and pass knowledge to others
Reality :
Old Cobras will have to be retired some time soon, max we can use it for 5 years not more it is what it is and that is why we tried to get Super Cobras
You see since we already operate similar technology from parent country , it is not as if we are bringing in a new item we know 0% about
Mi-19-> Mi-35 , some similarities
Cobra -> Super Cobra , obviously same type of mindset and approach in engineering
Z-10 -> Obviosuly new item
T-129 -> Obviously new item
But with some dedicated training and may be 2-4 years of good hard work some folks will get really good at it
An Aeronautical Department for Choppers , which would specialize in all matters concerning Choppers would certainly be a nice Add on
But Certainly , it would be a fantastic Solution
Focus Military
40 T-129 (Should be the Prime Choice)
40 Z-10 (Should be the Prime Choice) as well as it is a capable platform has the goods
(Option for Extras 10-15 Units down the road)
SSG/Navy
15 Super Cobras (Special Ops / Navy / Anti Terror)
15 Mi-35 (Special Ops . Anti Terror) - SSG Unit
Bell / AW139 / Mi-19 for Transport / Rescue / Logistics
50 Standard Cobras , likely heading for retirement by 2020 we might salvage 10 or 20 units if needed but need to upgrade tech
