my my flex you DO know some stuff 😉

Has to be the most Macho VIP transport Ive ever seen 😀

French refused to sell the AM-39 Exocet to the Indian Navy who wanted to integrate the latter with either the Super Puma or the Seaking

Harry is it accurate that IAF/IN acquired a small batch of Exocet for testing etc?

Using transport helicopters is more often a necessity given the small budgets most airforces have. Additionally these are also given a armed capability inorder to support SHBO (Special HeliBorne Ops).

Most commonly armament is restricted to MGs and Rockets. Sometimes freefall GPs. With regards to the Mi-17 it is only a recent trend to give it a Hind makeover.

Never knew PAF had Mi-17s, though all belonged to PA. Whats that white ‘thing’ below the left exhaust? and what is the pair of ‘pads’ below the bubble windows? And WTF is that cylindrical sensor mounted near the nose wheel? Note square windows.

Here you go;

Has someone prepared the latest Pak Army Aviation Corps ORBAT? Would love to see it. thx

What is the status of PAF machines housed in the boneyard? I remember that at least some of them were picked up by the USN for agressor training

The one on vanilla Su-30 is same as in MiG-29s. (name?)

Caption reads First photograph released of the new, upgraded Su-27UBM. Note the captive seeker-head adapted from a TV-guided missile fitted under the port wing. This permits realistic training using the seeker head without actually carrying the weapon

The only photo I have showing Flanker with rocket pods Su-27SMK;
