Why armed forces not investing in locally manufacturing helicopters in Pakistan after succes of JF 17 project

[Super Falcon]

Why army Navy airforce not collectively investing in a utility helicopter project for all armed forces and law enforcement agencies

We already seen fruitfull result of succesfull Thunder project and immense potential of exporting them to African countries

I think helicopter is a backbone for any military but specially for pak due to its harsh terrain we have huge mountain region where only halos can operate

In 2008 earth quakes and floods in pak these halos did the rescue job we were short of helicopters so USA helped us and other countries

India already shown us with Dhruv rudra project they can modify them as per their requirements and give experience to its local people for helicopter tech and create more jobs and full fill defence needs locally

We can manufacture them on low cost due to low labour wages as compare to west and get more helicopters at low cost

Most of MI 17 helis are at the end of their life span AW 139 are very expensive machines to buy in numbers

Wmost of our helicopter fleet out if these AW 139 are 20 years old and we hear MI 17 crashes on regular bases

We can save lives money by manufacturing new halos locally

Gokbey looks very impressive it can be used for VIP transport troop transport too and realtively new technology and we can fit ASW sonars into its nose for naval varient

Pakistan definitely needs own helicopter program but I think instead they decided to go for the Turkish/Usa helicopters but both were denied, only option available now is Chinese ones. They should local manufacturer them if possible.

 

[Super Falcon]

Even Z 18 are very good utility helicopters what you friends think

Bro I think Gokbey will have local engine

Need for helicopter is a sense we don't need tanks as much as we need helicopter with single project army Navy airforce law enforcement agencies vip and rescue mission operations can be fullfiled

Look what India is doing with HAL Rudra, Dhruv helicopters they are manufacturing different varients for navy and army and have light attack varient

 

[Super Falcon]

Definitely Pakistan armed forces stop buying tanks because we lack good helicopters in our inventory

We seen what locally manufacturing do wonders for even our Economy and most importantly fulfill our armed forces requirements

Cause real estate is king. Long live DHA....

 

[Super Falcon]

Most of our army aviation is based on MI 17 which are very old and at the end of their service life

We need cost effective platform and these helicopters can do wonders for us and we can modify them for rescue operation maritime forces such as PMSA coast guard also can get them very cheaply to monitor our seas

P

Coz they are utterly useless these property dealers are only good at bootlicking and regime change.

Please be on topic here

All these toys are of no good when the leader is coward

 

[Maula Jatt]

Yeah I thaught of this too why not do a JV with either Chinese or Turks and go towards semi indigenous helicopter?

Correct the title. Use "Local Manufacturing ".
