    Why would you get night vision goggles from pakistan?

    for their special operations units or maybe just regular army units so they can attack the tamil tigers during the night perhaps even for their hinds!

    firstly this thread satrted of ok but its just stupid now it should be closed.and secondly why the hell would serbia want Mi6s?there is no need for such a heli,an mvt or whatever it is called upgrade of the hips would be fine!and for the fulcrums if the funds could be gathered an SMT type upgrade along with another 8-12machines from russian stocks wuld serve the country well!the serbian leadership dont want another war because the country still has not recovered from the NATO offensive of 99 and another one like that would knock serbia into the stone age!its economy would be completly destroyed its army airforce and navy would be even more messed up than they are now!they are heading in the right way now,they are part of pfp and with most sanctions lifted are starting to gain trust in the international arena again ,why would they want to throw that away by invading kosovo just so they could form a mini empire that would be detroyed by NATO anyway?

    but the SMT spine is also very similar to the C model!so you probably have to look for the extra aerials and fins and small external differences like that!
