Pakistan Army Aviation Possible acquisitions

[Khafee]

Maybe a more persuasive line of argument to allow engine for ATAK gunships....

Are you serious? I can just imagine the look on the Americans faces, when he tells them, "we dont want to buy your Zulus, but would love to buy your engines, for Turkish helicopters"

Ur take Khafee about two wise men visit ? I feel US is very desperate now saw first time Gen Mackenzie presser at kabul he looks confused and worried never seen them like this. PM will visit US in September at UN sessions if travelling allowed according to some sources

If US offers PAA will go after no question in my mind cobras replacement by cobras ideal

My personal list/opinion is as follows in decreasing order of Priority;

1) Vipers (since you asked this on the relevant thread so just using your shoulder )
2) More Zulus, as you hinted earlier, 12 won't cut it, all cobras are to be replaced
3) MRAPS ? There are rumors coming about PA doing something about them but do not know from where, so maybe from US? But I doubt as we would be needing em in large numbers & seeing their cost.
4) Transport fleet upgradation? C130s..? Where are we with those talks? It started & then no update after that.
5) This is more of my wish list, this last point, Tankers for Viper fleet? I mean why they have sanctioned us from acquiring one?Maybe PAF not deem it necessary as well for as our Op needs are being managed?? But with the expansion of Viper fleet, I think we ought to have a pair of em. Still am not sure if we really need em.

Following are not related to h/w but just some points that would come up probably;

- Sharing proofs of India's involvement in Lahore & Dasu Dam incident, asking em to put a leash on em.
- FATF issue of Pak getting out of grey list & putting India on one (not saying it will happen but points being raised)
- CSF, a long shot, max if we get something out of it will be Defence articles but not a Dime will be transferred to SBP account.

Don't forget transport Helis like Chinooks

Don't forget transport Helis like Chinooks

They have been denied in the past, so I wouldn't be too hopeful.

I think reciting Inna lillahi wa inna ilahi rajeeon for ATAK, would be quite appropriate. PAA has done it, you can too....

Correct & being denied NOC for Turkish choppers, opens the door for more Zulus.

1) What is Qasim saying?

2) How many more Zulus?

1) What is Qasim saying?

Well, for some strange reason Qasim was keeping very quiet for past couple of weeks- Gave it a thought but did not struck to me until now you mentioned.

2) How many more Zulus?

Maybe all previous residents were moved down south & prepping for new ones? You definitely have much better hearing than me Sir
