ISLAMABAD: Russia has decided to lift the ban on the Mi-35 Hind attack helicopter to Pakistan, said Russian Ambassador to Pakistan Alexey Dedov, Express News reported.

In a press conference on Friday, the ambassador also said Russia had agreed to sell the helicopters to Pakistan to assist the country with terrorism and the security related issues.

Earlier this month, Russia was still holding talks with Pakistan on the supply of the combat helicopters, and had lifted its embargo on the arms supply to Pakistan.

“Such a decision has been taken. We are holding talks on supplying the helicopters,” head of state-owned Rostec, Sergei Chemezov said, adding that the negotiations were about Russian Mi-35 Hind attack helicopters.

Russia has long been the largest supplier of arms to India, which is the world’s top arms buyer.

But Moscow’s move to supply Islamabad came as New Delhi is seeking to modernise its armed forces’ ageing hardware and has recently chosen to buy arms from Israel, France, Britain and the United States.

May be indians are still living in cold war era. This is commercial Era.
 
MI 35 will serve really well in battle ground as it is both armed & attack helicopter, but what Pak Defence needs very badly is full fledged heavy weight Armed Helicopter as cobra is very old & needs to be replaced ASAP, MI 28 Havoc is the perfect choice for Pak Defence.

Indian ignorance to Russia is doing good for Pakistan & Pakistan should come closer to Russia.

Just look at this MI 35 Super Hind. isn't she a beauty

Send few sample mi-35 during the imminent launch of attack on Waziristan-
Russian pilots talibuni targets- demonstrate what a mi-35 can do- :D-
 
In all fairness this is smart aggressive diplomacy on India's part to prevent any military hardware sales to Pakistan ... not because they won't be able to handle Pakistan militarily if it gets the hardware ... its because it would make their task that much easier and suffer much lesser losses if the hardware is somehow prevented from reaching Pakistan.

Nothing wrong with that ... India is trying to insure that their forces suffer the most minimum loss possible.
