I guess you know better than US Admin

What i heard first batch of 3 Zulus will arrive end of July this year, first they threaten us to suspend delivery but after negotiations they agreed since these choppers greatly help us against TTP and Talibans.
Rest I don't know but I heard this from a P.A pilot of Cobra one month back.

As if Russia is our strategic ally?

Russ Pak ties aren’t up to that level and who knows they might cut spares and leave us high b dry..

Then we only have 2 options

Our Chinese friends
And Turkish Friends

 

[Ahmet Pasha]

Turkish TAI T-129 all the way.

1 billion would buy more than 50 z 10s. I dont understand pakistans fascination with US equipment

I would rather buy 150 units of Wing LongII UAV than manned helicopter.

50 millions USD for one manned helicopter is very high price. How you gonna field your enemy in numbers?

Don't tell me Pakistan is not rich.

No not credit but reimbursment of expenses of war on terror and other support as a part of support in afghan operations like providong route an security to us cargo ... We can receive weapons from this support so we really dont have a choice ...

Excellent.

Look for other helicopters and show these backstabbing Americans a big middle finger.

Anyone still interested in some friendship with 'Murica?

 

[khansaheeb]

We are getting used to it, first F16s now AH-1Zs

 

[Shabi1]

The case to procure WZ-10s (improved variant) is very strong now. T-129s could be delayed as well.

Main reason AH-1Zs were selected in the first place was that their ammunition and maintenance could be paid for by US funds, they would have never reimbursed for WZ-10 or T-129 usage.

 

[Windjammer]

A blessing in disguise.....hence we are now self sufficient in making the JF-17 and soon the T129 ATAK Gunships.

 

[Peaceful Civilian]

AZ-1H is very good purchase , expense but worth the price . We shound increase one dozen more in future.
