They'll be replaced very soon by Locally built T-129s or WZ-10's !!!

No harm in keep using them if they are air worthy.

no they ain't worthy flying.
We even don't have spares for Cobras…
We hope to replace them soon most probably with Turkish or Chinese ones.
US don't seems interested in replacing PA aging attack helos fleet…

Pakistan can get upgrades through FMS agreement with US.

Choppers needs some paint job.

They are being used VERY heavily in the conflict in FATA. A lot of flight cycles for these choppers hence the downtrodden look. No time for a new paint job...

Fair enough. If they are doing their job properly then looks are unimportant.

I dunno why we don't set aside $100 million or something & build a light utility helicopter ourselves like the Hueys or the Dhruvs which can be armed for a Light Attack Role as well - I don't care even if we buy some of the needed blue prints of the Black Market or ask China to help us once more but surely we should've thought about something like this 4-5 years ago & I can't imagine why it would impossibly difficult to either finance that kind of money or to build a light utility helo ?

The Cobra's fly in these conditions, you don't expect them to be showroom condition always...they are war machines not display choppers..

Look at a US Army Cobra

US Marines..
