What's new

Russia completed the delivery of four Mi-35 combat helicopters to Pakistan

. . . . .
only 4 helicopters and that too not the top end front line attack helicopters so whats the big deal?
I fail to see the Indian reason for panic as they are mainly for counter terrorism and anti narcotics operations.

They can carry long range ATGMs and drop sec ops for recon and evacuate wounded from hostile areas.

INSHALLAH your hopes will be proven right


Indeed Sir Russia has come up with a simple policy that is you pay the price they would give you weapon. They are selling weapons to countries who are at odds with each other like China and India and Vietnam and several other countries. So pressure thing doesn't work with them. So it yes more MI-35 will be ordered and if you don't remember Russia way back in IDEAS 2014 offered us MI-28 and three different Air Defense systems also. There delegation briefed our than Military Leadership.

What happened to bold part??

Mi-28 would have been a better choice because in some ways Mi-17 can also do what a Mi-35 is capable of. Mi-17 can also carry weaponry like ATGM's, rockets etc probably carrying lesser troops than standard.

MI-17 can't go in hostile areas and came back with all on board safely while Mi-35 can do that with ease.

Mi-35M or Mi-35? Mi-35 is export designation of Mi-24V. Mi-35M is a whole new beast with X shaped tail rotor.

its Mi-35M but bit customized as Mi-35P. Well we will not b sure until pix will come out. I am sure Pakistan will never buy an old version Mi-24V

Isnt it ironic, 30 years ago, in similar set of events, Pakistan was hunting down the ancestors of this helicopter while facing the Accusations from America over nuclear program.

I mean no offense to all Global Analysts and Defense commandos from whatever nationality
these 4 helicopters provide a small and limited support to a very specific role which is counter terrorism and anti narcostics

I repeat again.. these helicopters wont be used to invade America or Uganda so please come back to planet earth
