Its mainly designed for paved runways like in Karachi and other places.

Its mainly designed for paved runways like in Karachi and other places.

So how will it serve PN marines in those marshy areas? May be a new airstrip will also be constructed there.....

What happened to the news of Defender 4000 for PMSA?

What happened to the news of Defender 4000 for PMSA?

The Aircraft is actually the Defender BN2T4S (longer fuselage than the BN2T) that was used by the British Military and was returned to Britten Norman to be sold as used aircrafts. One aircraft was contracted in local currency by PMSA 2 years ago. That contract is still in limbo owing to the complexities of purchase of aircrafts in Ruppees

Marines/ NSSG Para Drop deployments, Logistics Para Drops etc

Possibly the most retarded thing the PN could have done.

Do you know why nobody uses Tecnam aircraft in the UK, despire there being distributors and retailers here?

because the after sales support is shit and spares and supply is difficult.

Time to get in on the Tecnam support business. #BabuModeActivated

In seriousness, these are the types of projects we should adopt lock, stock, and barrel to learn indigenous aircraft manufacturing, supply chain management, and MRO in one cycle. The issue is that we don't have the base to support it.

Rather than the nonsense with Azm, Pakistan should have designed and built this category of aircraft in Pakistan for sure!!!!

Yes, and the base isn't hard to set up. This isn't controlled warfighting tech, so, it shouldn't suffer through the bureaucratic overhead at all. What we need is like a large-scale domestic order, both from state (e.g., military and even civil gov't) and private entities (tourism, agriculture, etc). You can find a lender to back the acquisitions and open financing, and from there, just tell the private sector to now provision the aircraft and its entire support infrastructure locally.

Just line up the incentives (big order) and financing (via a lender), and the economy will suddenly grow with a complete production and maintenance, etc, ecosystem. From there, you market to users outside of Pakistan and, again, just leave it all to the private sector to figure out.

Do this for 7-10 years and the private sector will come back saying they're ready to do a regional airliner (prop or jet). Pakistanis are among the most capable individuals out there, but we need a system that creates pathways for talent, not corrupt politickers.

Tecnam has been bought by Leonardo who is also the Contract signatory for this deal. After sales service and support will be provided by Leonardo

Looks like a massive drone.

The local market for such an aircraft type is very limited in Pakistan and does not make business sense.
