Pakistan Army Takes Delivery of Chinese WZ-10 Attack Helicopters
Posted on 26 March,
The two newly arrived Pakistan Army Aviation Corps Changhe WZ-10 attack helicopters awaiting re-assembly at an unspecified base in Pakistan.
TWO CHINESE Changhe WZ-10 attack helicopters are currently being re-assembled in Pakistan, after being delivered within the last few days. The helicopters are the first two of a package of three WZ-10s that have been donated free-of-charge to the Pakistan Army Aviation Corps for assessment.
Two of the three will be deployed to the Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA) region for battlefield assessment in actual combat missions against the militants in the region. The third helicopter will be used for training and testing.
Based on assessment of the helicopters performance in battle, the Pakistan Army may in future place a large order for the WZ-10 to replace its ageing AH-1 Cobra gunships. Usman Shabbir
