Chinese/Pakistani. The deal was signed between CEIEC, China and DGMP (Pakistan) on 19 November 1992 for the co-production of RWR’s at Kamra. The first RWR unit was produced at Kamra during March 1995.

Burger,
The pressure suit helmet was only ment for high-altitude flights where a loss of cockpit pressure would have been dangerous for the pilots. For normal, lower operations a less clumsy and more ‘normal’ helmet (and a normal flight suit rather than a pressure one) would be worn, which is far more comfortable just like a normal flight suit. Don’t forget that when pulling (for example) 9 G, your 2,5kg helmet (about the weight of a 1960s-era pressure helmet) would weigh 22.5 kg. A regular helmet at the time weighed roughly a kilo less. Similar pressure + regular helmets/flight suits were used in the West for aircraft like the F-104. Attack units were probably not even issued with pressure suits/helmets at all.

Correct and here is a rare picture if Pakistani F-104 pilots in their high-altitude suites.

The other surpise I got was finding the transfer, under the same funding, for the surviving 19 from the batch of 26 T-37B Tweets that were supplied back in 1976! I assume they were provided under a MAP and never paid for and it’s now a case of paperwork catching-up with “real life”.

Those 19 T-37s are not for Pakistan but for Bangladesh. Pakistan has requested permission from US to sell 19 Tweets to Bangladesh since PAF is now taking delivery of additional K-8’s.

Hejsa in Danish.
