    40 Cobras seem to be on the way, 6 C-130 have been delivered, and there should be some P-3Cs coming soon

    I think Pakistan is wisely getting replacement and additional kit for all the US systems it has, but not purchasing any new systems, at least this way should sanctions be slapped on us again, we will have larger spares pools and fleets of UH-1s, AH-1s, C-130s and P-3s so that cannabalising a few will not be that detrimental to our defence posture

    no Hellfires either?

    Whny would PA want Hellfires with Hueys!?
    We would probably upgrade these to Huey II and they are being delivered free of charge, it would be silly to refuse them, they can still provide a good utility service, just like the Indian MI8s and alouttes that are 30 odd years old…..

    Many thanks steve
    If you look under the 1997 Brown Ammendment Cobra spares were delivered then as well, so it seems Pakistans Cobra fleet may have been one of the least affected by sanctions, in addition to this Jordan (RJAF lent PAF planes in the past) could have been a source of spare parts for AH-1F as they have a close relationship with Pakistan and also operate the F version, but that is just me speculating….

    I think the list you’re referring to is a carry-over from the previous country (probably Oman at a guess) and the entry for Pakistan is just that one in the middle of that page.

    Steve
    Here is a 1998 report detailing commercial military sales to Pakistan, its lists helicopter spare parts but does not list chopper type, so it may be UH-1 or AH-1

    you can look it up in the ‘new indian tanks’ thread of their AFV forum, no need to pursue it here anymore.

    A guy called Forrest Gump said that all Pakistani tanks can fly, I agree, no need to pursue it here……..

    Hi steve
    Here is an FMS report for Pakistan for 2002, it doeas not list type of aircraft spares, but we can safely assume F-16/C-130 or AH-1

    http://www.fas.org/asmp/profiles/655-2002/FMS/Pakistan.pdf

    Interesting news report, thanks!

    Yes, I think the 2 cobra sqds come under command of Multan Corps, this is one of teh most modern non-nato armored corps, T-80s, CNITE Cobras, upgraded M113s etc

    Pakistans premier formation

    Situation on Cobra spares was OK under the 1997 Brown ammendment a large consignment was delivered, and I assume Pakistan has no problem maintianing them now, I beleive all 20 are still operational

    I am not anti A-5, its a nice plane, very “classic” looking, I just dont think it has a place on the modern battlefield, it cannot operate at night and bad weather for starters!

    Pakistan should donate these to Afghanistan to help give them a basic capability to patrol their own airspace as well as CAS aganst Al Qadea and Taliban
