    Al, thanks for the pic, what was the Constellation used for? Looks like a SIGINT or command post? Any details as to what kind of equipment was housed in those fairings?

    have you seen Pakistan’s helicopter orbat ?

    They operate Mi-8 and Mi-17IV (Russian), Ecureil (Eurocopter), Aerospatiale Lama’s and now there are more Fennecs in the offing, Cobras and Hueys (US), have been gifted some old Pumas from UAE, operate Westland Sea Kings (Britain) and are now getting Z-9 (China) for their navy.

    They’ve also asked for the AH-64 Apache and the US has refused, whereas they may get AH-1Z Vipers and they’ve also evaluated the Eurocopter Tiger and were supposedly interested in the Agusta T-129 variant. Most likely that they’ve evaluated the WZ-10 as well since China is a big ally.

    Is that streamlined enough for you ?

    I think the reference was being made to the airforce, rather than the army helicopter force. Pakistan’s fighter orbat comprises French, Chinese and US aircraft, whereas the IAF fleet comprises Russian/French/British/(American/Swedish based on the MRCA choice).

    But still agree regarding the Pak army orbat, way too diversified.
