AH-1Z impacted by frosty US-Pak relations

.
Frankly I will not be amazed if we cant get AH-1zs its not the first time, US is not the only country making attack helos. We can get attack helos from Russian or some other vendor.
 
.
Turkey is not submitting to US demands since some time. Probably after the failed coup.
Pakistan has not been submitting to US demands also.


I think its more of the difference in opinion on geographical matters like Afghanistan, rather than PA going against USA proxies.


so according to this report, no AH-1Z has arrived Pakistan neither inducted by PAA. The 2 x AH-1Z which have been completed are sitting in USA.


If Turkey takes a stand, which i think Erdogan will, the T-129 deal will not get affected.
If ATAK gets affected it means Turkey is no longer with NATO!!! Not a bad option either....

State Department official confirms AH-1Z delivery suspended:

“The President suspended U.S. grant-funded security assistance to Pakistan in January 2018 as a result of Pakistan’s lack of responsiveness to U.S. requests in support of the South Asia strategy,” a State Department official said on the condition of anonymity. “The United States has consequently suspended delivery of FMF-funded military equipment to Pakistan, including AH-1Z attack helicopters.”
