No offense, but try being realistic.So, the enemies should be able to assume no attack helicopters are available for Kashmir Or to support the FC in KPK and Baluchistan. We need our helicopters to operate all over the country, not just in the plains and deserts along the East border.
Also, if the engine power is limited, the enemy can predict which paths our helicopters must take. Just like the Apache Block III video from my earlier post; we need to be able to respond ASAP and over mountains if necessary.
There is no use case scenario for helicopters in Kashmir, they’re to support armored assaults in Punjab and Sind. FC needs their own helicopters if they’re ever going to have effective air support. The MOI needs to get on that. Many paramilitary and police forces around the world operate attack helicopters and none of them have to fight terrorists on a daily basis, instead thousands of new rifles and uniforms, a couple of attack helicopters would have been much more useful for the FC, but who’s gonna explain that to politicians?
The army cannot split its resources all the time and leave one border undefended for another. You can’t just make helicopters operate all around the country when you have limited numbers and limited roles.
The engine power was limited in the older models, it’s been resolved in the ME, it has new engines.
