This makes a total of 249 or 250+ AH-1s operational world wide which PAA can easily get with US funding... Also then PAA can make a very huge fleet of Gun ship needed by Pakistan...
 
PAA is now interested in the Super-Cobra AH-1Z.

Bell AH-1 SuperCobra - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I am sure it will be in 100s of them But US should try to offer PAK a buy back of AH-1s from its current operators which makes a total of 250+ and also Pak ones which can make it to 300 of them.

If you don't mind me asking, is this recent news or is this from a few months ago?

this is old news before the collapse of US-PK relations. there was a US500m FMS allocated to the counter-insurgency enhancement fund for 12 AH-1Z's. then it went off the table but PK continues to seek FMS funds for them to replace the AH-1F's.
this is where the Turkish T-129 story suddenly cropped up. PK does not have the funds to invest in the turkish program (not in the near term at least) and now when relations with the US are on the 'thaw' (ref: C130 upgrade), the AH-1Z remains on PK wish list.
