Yes a number of people told me that PA was also interested in the Eurocopter Tiger. In fact one source (waz) set the figure at 30 helicopters initially.Apache Longbow will be great but if we cant get them than TIGER attack helicopter should be great half of european countries have them and germany will sell them to us if we ask them and provide them $$$$$$$
I knew it the only Problem is the Finance, FMF is just another way of America to have Control on Pakistan procurement of Military Hardware.
But what is your Opinion about T-129, I think its a Nice Helicopter Especially For Anti-terrorists operations. I would Like to hear Expert Opinion from you.
Does anyone have any detailed accounts of attack helo operations during any of the past India-Pakistan conflicts? How significant were they?
Whatever Kayani asked for the most likely outcome would be Cobras for Pakistan with Spares that is the most likely scenario and we should be happy about that Turkish helo project is still being worked upon and Chinese gunships are under extensive trials so better wait for 2-3 years until Chinese gunships are ready and become the first customers to purchase couple of dozen. Future gunship fleet of Pakistan would be high end and low end that is Turkish and Chinese helos and good thing about that we will be able to purchase potent systems for less $$$ and reliable partners because China is now developing almost everything in house while is good for us without strings attached and without any sanctions and as many as we can buy.

I agree, Army does not need Appaches, rather more AH-1f or an upgraded model of cobra helos. There was a plan to upgrade cobra helicopters, but no one knows what is the latest on that.
I think AH-64 is best suited for anti armour ops and not req for COIN ops. as it will prove to be overkill for taliban.
the issue with the chinese helo is guess what! - engine -! all other parameters are satisfactory - western avionics would be a added advantage on future pak army requirements.
