Pakistan, Germany in Surplus Helo Talks

[ACE OF THE AIR]

I was under the impression that we were a bit low on the available Helicopters & I had assumed that were we to go for these perhaps we can utilize them for reconnaissance & light air-support in areas or operations where we don't expect to run into a lot of trouble & that the COBRAS are given a much needed breather & reserved for higher end, higher priority targets.

The Bells & the Mi-17s are, as I imagine, used more for utility & transport purposes perhaps these German ones can be procured to additionally lower the strain put on them due to excessive demand & serve as a go-between to both help the COBRAS out by providing light air support & help the Bells out by servicing our forward posts with lighter loads.

So maybe we procure 40 & use 20 of them whilst cannibalize the other 20 !

What do you say @sancho @fatman17 ?

Most probably these are coming in under Ministry of Interior so they might be used for recon and air ambulance.

That is an extremely outdated helicopter and it is also very lightly armored it could be brought down by small arms by aiming for the glass cockpit, a better alternative could be the Z9 as it can mount Anti-tank missiles , Anti-ship missiles, and torpedoes along with maybe door mounted guns or maybe even cannon or mini gun pods.
