I think he meant turkish 52 plus other orders total is over 100 aircraft

The two new countries may add between 10-20 max each

When pak media is quoted such errors happen.

Lockheed to Support US, Pakistan Cobra Helo Targeting Sensor for $151 Million

Lockheed Martin has been awarded a $151 million contract to support the Target Sight System (TSS) on US and Pakistan AH-1Z Cobra attack helicopters, the US Department of Defense said in a press release. The TSS incorporates a third-generation forward-looking infrared sensor that provides target sighting in day, night, or adverse weather conditions. "The TSS is a large-aperture mid-wave forward-looking infrared sensor with a laser designator/rangefinder turret and provides the capability to identify and laser-designate targets at maximum weapon range, significantly enhancing platform survivability and lethality," the release explained. The AH-1Z Cobra attack helicopter is used by US Marine Corps expeditionary forces.

The Pakistan Army will receive four Mi-35 Hind E attack helicopters from Russia in 2017. Islamabad has paid $153 million in the deal, signed in August 2015, bringing to an end a self-imposed Russian ban on military exports to the country. Once wary of potential Indian protests at such a sale, Moscow now plans to sell as many as 20 of Mi-35s to Pakistan over the next few years.

Is there a reason why Pakistan is looking at so many platforms for the attack helicopter role?

I like the idea of Mi35 being inducted as it will help with COIN ops given it has a transport role.

But then there is Chinese Z10, AH1Z and T129 also being considered. Sounds like a logistical headache.

MI35 is for spec ops , fire support and transport , also ah 1z is light weight all-rounder, how ever other options being considered to tackle India's mass armour

 

[khanasifm]

Ah1z will face east while mi35 and older ah1 for west

MI-35 will come for totally different role. MI-35 will go to special forces for dedicated attack helicopter Pakistan should test MI-28 also along with T-129 and Z-10 and one should be selected to replace our old Cobras.

Will AH1Z supplement or replace the existing AH1F cobras already in service?

I'm glad the situation means Pakistan has options available to it and they can select the best platform that meets the army's requirement.

Well ah 1f will be used to the max , ah1z currently will supplement and also very good for east, so ah1z in coin as dedicated fire support but it's agm hell fire will also be ready for east, MI35 for spec ops in coin and east, ah1f will become reserve , new platform z-10 will be definitely for the east

AH-1Z Cobra attack helicopters operated by the US Navy will receive Target Sight Systems provided by Lockheed Martin. Valued at $150 million, the deal also includes production orders for the government of Pakistan under the foreign military sales program. Options included in the contract could raise the value to $284 million. The Target Sight System is a large-aperture mid-wave forward-looking infrared sensor designed to identify and designate targets at maximum weapon range, increasing the Cobra operator’s survivability and lethality.
