AH-1Z Viper, 1000 Hellfire II Missiles approved for sale to Pakistan.

Again a crappy decision. Z10 is the only best bet for pak wrt gunships. It is the ever evolving Chinese state of the art technology and Pak cloud utilize it to its fullest . No strings attached no restrictions of no sorts - - - - - -

Pakistan has other considerations.

T-129 is a good one to Pakistan.

 

[Zhukov]

Big question is. Z10 would have been delivered almost free of cost (From US military aid to Pakistan). Can we Afford to pay for Z10, or T129 or even Mi28 under these dire Financial situation where we are trying hard to avoid a bailout. Where will the Dollars come from to pay for this hardware?
Will China be willing to provide such military aid to Pakistan (Not Soft Loans) as Turkey is already facing tough financial situation. And Russia is always a cash dealer.
I don't see any gunships coming in significant numbers for some time now. Unless their is some sort of TOT deal on favorable terms

How about buying Z-10s in Yuan's. 1 Yuan is about 17.98 PKR rupees. Why we need dollars to buy ??

 

[SSGcommandoPAK]

Very good news if true,
why don't we use this money to buy KA-52's or Mi-28s ?

Mi-28s have already been test flown in Russia earlier this year.

Do you have Yuan in your Foreign Exchange Reserves to pay to china for These weapons?

Z-10ME is the upgraded version based on the test in Pakistan.
The engine of Z-10ME is said to be WZ-9H, whose power is improved from 1000KW to 1200KW.

The upgrades are pretty visible almost to the extent that you can tell shortcomings of the tesed version. The z-10 was liked by many in PA anyway.

what about Ka-52, We can initially buy 10 units of KA's to counter Indian Apaches ?

The deal is not finalized, even both Chinese and Turkish helo still under consideration.

Chinese helo have some engine issues at high altitudes while Turkish need approval to re-export foreign engines.

Really?

 

[Imran Khan]

my vote is combine 30 TAI - 30 Z10 60 units will be good number for country like paksitan

 

[Arsalan]

Strange. I think there were orders from other services for these same type of helicopters. Why send them to boneyard when there are potential customers lined up? These should have been sold to them directly. This looks like fake new.
