About Hinds and Cobras

摘要

The print and electronic media reported the use of gunship helicopters during the March 1 attack by Pakistani forces against foreign militants holed out in Danday Saidgai village close to the Afghan border in North Waziristan, in which over forty foreigners were killed along with some casualties taken by the Pakistani forces. Since the average newspaper readers, or men in uniform for that matter, are not too well versed in gunships, it would be useful to share some background knowledge with them.
