Yes BUT Pat the USA OOB INCLUDES a large number of National Guard units and formations so why would I remove something still used by them to open up slots I don't need ATM ?

If we're talking about the OH-58D, just had it in my head that all NG units were separated/or designated from regular USA units in the OOB. What can I say but it's been a longtime since I've "been in the game" and you know what I mean. But if you think that's good wait until my next post!?!

From my files concerning the Pakistani AH-1Z. Before I post the refs I have I would kindly ask everyone's indulgence in...

1) The AH-64E to export countries will be no different than tit is for AH-1Z or ABRAMS or any other advanced U.S. piece of equipment.

2) From last Sep., please review Posts 63 & 64 of this thread. Those JANE's refs. are likely "dead" now but, as posted many times before, JANE's refs are "perishable" and you either act on them in a timely fashion or as I've been doing, build credible refs around them while active.

A) Also with ref. below note the delivery from Russian of the Mi-35M which is the most advanced version of the Mi-24 HIND. The Mi-35M is in the game with Brazil and I believe I also submitted it for Russia as well since they got them around 3yrs. ago. Also addresses various equipment and weapons to be sold to them as well. The TI/GSR levels addressed per Posts 63 & 64 with a minor - in EW as well as seen fit. FOC I would think around APR or JUN 2018. Though I have not checked, I believe the Pakistanis already fly the Mi-24 so assuming they get their Mi-35M helos by JAN 2018, I believe FOC should occur around APR/MAY 2018. The more advanced systems and weapons being the delaying factor here.

I have a couple more if needed. Thanks for the diversion!

We have had the pleasure of Irma's company here in what I believe was the hardest hit county in Ga. We feel so privileged. At least we still have our house. Hope all affected in this forum and there are quite a few of you, made it through safely.

The first four UH-60 Black Hawks for the Afghan Air Force (AAF) were delivered to Kandahar airport on Monday.

The Afghan OOB (orbat26) has the S70 Blackhawk (unit 123) in it. Is there any evidence that they are present?
