Fennec's are already in PA service.
here is my wish list of PN future aviation fleet.
or PAF/PN Gripen NG
or PN J-11 sea flanker
PN JF-17
PN P-3C/ P-3C AEW
PN Saab-2000 MAP
PN/ PAF Saab-2000 Erieye
?PN P-8 ex-PIA 737?
Currently the PN Aviation Force consists of:
3 Westland Lynx - anti-ship/anti-submarine/transport helicopters
6 Westland Sea King Mk45 - transport helicopters
18 Harbin Z-9EC - helicopters
8 Aérospatiale SA-319B Alouette III - transport/anti-ship helicopters
4 Lockheed P-3C Orion - maritime surveillance/anti-submarine warfare aircraft/airborne early warning (6 more to be delivered)
5 Fokker F27-200 Friendship - maritime surveillance aircraft
2-3 Breguet Atlantique I - maritime surveillance/anti-submarine warfare aircraft
12+ Dassault Mirage V - anti-ship fighter aircraft (operated by the Pakistan Air Force)
The only effective way to defend a mammoth Indian navy is to modernize our navy aviation to 21st standard aviation. 12 odd 60s era Mirages and 4 P-3 will have little impact to IN Navy? Currently PN has a plan to induct one new fighter sqd. the question is, is it enough? and what type is it goanna be?
Rafale M
Su-34
JF-17
when is pakistan gonna have a carier
Pakistan is going to have a credible deterrance ability soon with the induction of Turkish Patrol boats, Chinese Frigates, German submarines (not sure on this one) and American maritime patrol aircraft.
For a small navy thats alot of good kit coming in over the next few years giving a solid foundation to build upon.
Are these plans still on given the devaluation of the Pak Rupees and IMF Constraints ?
Regards
seriously what is making your retarded ego say that? IMF has got nothing to do with military! PAkistan military has its own defense revenue from export. by 2010 it could be well over 500 million dollars!
New Recruit

I was also thinkin about it :
Z-9EC bought 2 replace SEAKING the intial order is for 6 of them.
18-20:Z-9EC (may be this is the order i wish it comes true)
8-9:Aérospatiale SA-319B Alouette III - transport/anti-ship helicopters & 3 Westland Lynx - anti-ship/anti-submarine/transport helicopters (must b replaced according 2 time wit Z-9EC) 5 Fokker F27-200 Friendship - maritime surveillance aircraft
2-3 Breguet Atlantique I - maritime surveillance/anti-submarine warfare aircraft ( are going 2 b replaced by 6 P-3C coming may b next year as BUS goes with another 3-5 P-3C based Hawkeye-2000 AEW&C)
12+ Dassault Mirage V[/b] - anti-ship fighter aircraft (operated by the Pakistan Air Force)
(There is a comitment of 1 SQAD but in my opinion it will be atleast 2 in 2015 with latest set of PAF-French avionico)
SO DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT N SLEEP WELL THROUGH NIGT COZ INDUCTION IS THERE HAHAHAHAHA
I may have mis-interpreted the comment made in your post when you said, ''Z-9C bought 2 replace Seaking''. So apologies in advance of that is the case.
Z-9C helos are not being bought by PN to replace Sea Kings. Z-9 will be for ship based use from the F-22PFFG's, although they can be accomodated by Type-21 FFG's as well. Z-9C has limited flying duration as well as limited operational ability when compared to the Sea King. Whilst the latter is an older design it has the ability to be upgraded eg PN has fitted some of its aircraft with FLIR, dual ASW and ASuV roles as well as limited transportation 8-10 troops. The only helos which can be considered a like for like Sea King replacement are the Merlin or SeaHawk. Such helos have the ability to operate autonomously from the parent ship and act as an OTH (Over The Horizon) asset. Helo's such as the Z-9C and even the Lynx are able to offer many of these functions albeight not the complete mission package.
In the long term, it is likely that PN will continue using its fleet pf 14 Alouette helo's whilst looking for a larger Sea King replacement and this will be dictated by the budgetry constraints mnore than anything else. Any future induction of ship-based helo's such as the Z-9C will be dictated by the induction of additional surface vessels in the ensuing decade. Until then the Alouette fleet will soldier on in its current capacity of SAR, Liason, Intel, ASuV, SSGN/naval fire support.
222 Sqn comprising the 3 Lynx helo's has not seen service for many years now. The Lynx were flown for only 4 years after being inducted in 1995/96. They have been withdrawn from service and their are no plans to return them to service either. Given their current status, the airframes will require a major overhaul to return them to flying condition.
