I wouldn't go that far. While it is likely that PA will induct the Z-10 (after thorough testing and possible customization), it's hard to actually gauge PA's actual interest over the Z-10 in the short term. With recent Turkish-Pakistani talks over the T-129, The Z-10 may face still competition.
I am not worry over T-129 gunship competition. First? It uses American turboshaft. Turkish homegrown are far from materialized. With racist and anti Pakistan trump elected as US president. It will further a risk to go with American components. I am also confident with the level of sophistication Z-10 has,to compete with the best. As one forumer commented how quiet Z-10 flies and you only heard it when it fly pass you. This is critical when carry out insurgent strike when element of surprise is critical.
More than a 100 of these has enter service with PLA.
Cobra can't really compare to WZ-10. One is a product of 70s and another belongs to the 2000s
That's nice to hear and read, but I'll leave it up to PA to decide what is best for their requirements.
What else do you expect from a Kamov design? They are pretty good helis if albeit underpowered due to R&D remaining on a more powerful engine.
Zarvan , your biased against Chinese seems too high. Keep repeating the same nonsense of Z-10 engine issues. Are you hired by CIA? Turkish missile is inferior compare to Chinese one and I do not know why you want to Intergrate it? Just the range alone, Chinese one has far longer engagement range than Turkish one.
I have no bias but can't support a machine which fails to perform in trials just because it's from friend China. We like many things about Z-10 but engine is a major issue here that is why no further order has been given by Pakistan Army. You have great Air Defence systems and therefore we are buying them. We would get things which pass our tests no matter which country they belong to
