    PII I dont think its wise to take whatever the IDF say as gospel! Likewise with the Syrians! As someone pointed out, the truth may lie somewhere in between!

    Lets also not forget that in more recent Arab vs Israel encounters, the IDF have had overwhelming technological superiority!

    Basically fighting the IDF is teh equivelent of fighting the USAF minus the Stealths! :)u

    Fromn what little I know, they are limited to daylight CAS duties using rockets and iron “dumb” bombs and can carry Durandel for airbase strike

    I think the 407s are slightly too big for scouting! Surely they would be better used for light utility!? A 206 (like Kiwoa Warrior) is ideal though….

    Does anyone know how many Bell 206s are assigned to each Cobra sqd!? Also, if we are getting more Cobras, are we ordering extra Bell 206s to scout for them!?

    Coperation would make sense, the HAL Dhruv seems ideal for Pakistan army to replace Bell 206s, Alouttes and UH-1s, but I just dont see it happening……….

    Money has always been a problem for Pakistan and India Flex, we are poor countries, let us not forget that.

    Economically, Pakistan is much better off then it was in the 90s for various reasons.

    I think all the MI-17s were civilian and modified in Pakistan for military purposes. I think we havea total of 30 now but not sure.

    I think Pakistans army is becoming more and more mobile with teh addition of so many choppers. I know for a fact there is a requirment to form an Air Assault Brigade within Pakistan Army consisting of 2 air assault battalions and 1 airborne battalion

    I will open another thread on that, as I dont think there is any up to date information about Pak Armys chopper fleet, 40 new Bells, 40 UH-1s and 40 extra AH-1Fs will help out alot!
