The Westland Lynx is a British multi-purpose military helicopter designed and built by Westland Helicopters at its factory in Yeovil.

Originally intended as a utility craft for both civil and naval usage, military interest led to the development of both battlefield and naval variants, which went into operational usage in 1977 and were later adopted by the armed forces of over a dozen nations, where it primarily serves in the battlefield utility, anti armour, search and rescue (SAR) anti submarine warfare roles.

In 1986 a modified Lynx broke the airspeed record for helicopters, which still stands today. The helicopter is now produced and marketed by Agusta Westland.

3 Lynx Mk.3 were used by Pakistan Navy for anti-ship / anti-submarine / transport duties. These aircraft were retired from service in 2003.
