EC 725? Category: Medium lift Miltary Transport Helicopter About the medium lift helicopter is that there was a topic before generated about the capacity/category of helicopter needed in our inventory. We must be realistic that the category of the unit that you are mentioning is in the Medium Lift Category in which we need it also but it takes time to see a unit for that kind of role and purpose. This unit has it own purpose when the AFP will try to purchase in the future. They already admit in the past that they need a unit also on this category: EC 725, NH-90, EH 101, AS 332, AS 532 and S-92 are some of those units that belongs in this bracket. EC 725 cannot be compared to the UH-1H or Daulphin class. It is far from the usual utility type of helicopter.Let us be realistic enough. ANALYZE and THINK twice please. UH-1H can be upgraded to Huey II configuration or replace them with other units that belongs to this category. Sir for your information, we are trying to replace a whole bunch of Huey's in our inventory. Matching its own category and other spefications required. Here is a link that is useful enough for you to analyze and compare helicopters on your thought. My Webpage |

Z9s or some blackhawks then? MI-17 are too big and definitely is out of the picture. what about a couple of VH-71 para narin sa ating presidente? anyway, i think we should atleast buy a couple of ARHs like this to complement our main gunships (if ever the afp wont install a similar imaging system like the one it has): thats what we need to hunt down those fV@ck!*g abusayaff and commies!

Unfortunately, that ARH you were referrring to, the Bell Textron ARH-70 was killed off. It was It was to have acted as a cheaper replacement than the also killed off Commanche to the the OH-58 Kiowa Observation/Light Attack helo. The ARH 70 program's development costs ballooned and was plagued with delays. The funding for the program was cut off in favor of other weapons programs. It also appears that new LUHs that can meet our mission reqs is also in short supply

the PT6 twin pack powered Huey II seems interesting. also the Eurocopter EC155. its the latest variant of what the PAF is interested in replacing the hueys which is the dolphin. the EC155 have 40% more cabin volume so its perfect! but i dont think eurocopter is selling the EC155 for military purposes. i think they are pushing for other items in their line-up. |

IF THIS HELO WAS "KILLED-OFF", THEN WHY NOT CONVERT SOME JETRANGERS FOR THIS STANDARD? IT IS STILL CHEAPER, AND STILL CAN BE DUAL PURPOSE (ATTACK/TRANSPORT).. WHY NOT CONSIDER IT AGAIN? |
