They may still be on the the table, only havoc should have been put on hold.
If we buy the ah-1z's then they will either sever as a stop gap till we start manufacturing the z-10 or we will have a hi-low mix of them. Either way win-win situation.
We should double our already beefed up security plan and take all necessary and unnecessary precautions. I hope everything goes well and nothing bad happens. The last thing we want to do is be the country where the chinese president was assassinated.:frown:
I say this because there is an option for upgradation to AIP for anyone who buys these submarines. Pakistan already has 3 AIP equipped submarines so why would it knowingly downgrade? Even if it does it will buy the AIP's for its submarines later as it is inevitable in current scenario.
It is smaller and can carry lesser payload, range, men, speed and the AIP has a shorter time frame but this is still good enough compared to other submarines
