@Windjammer @Oscar why PAA not looking into Ka-52s for its anti armor heli?

 

[Basel]

The MI-35M is good machine, not bad for supporting troops on ground.

@Windjammer @Oscar why PAA not looking into Ka-52s for its anti armor heli?

No need to have more than two types
Z-10 is good anti armour
T-129 is good anti armour
Ah-1z is good anti armour

Agreed.

There is also the reality of Russia. Despite all that we have read about ties warming up, I don't think either side at the stage where big >$500m defence contracts will be signed.

eek zara halki quality ka hey eek zara achay customer kiliye hai

Nothing wrong with having multiple platforms, it will ensure that depending on performance and what country has faster service record we can continue to grow that platform , vs waiting 4-5 years for 2-3 choppers

Z-10
T-129

The above fulfill all needs of a proper gunship

• Mi-35
• Super Cobra (Bit heavier on the cost side)

Are for special purpose


It all depends on future attainment of more numbers which vendor can supply a fill up order, obviously the Turkish / Chinese avenue is the best due to tremendous positive relations with Pakistan

Where Ka-52 stands in comparison with your mentioned Helicopters?

But they did offer Mi-28NE to Pakistan, I only want to know how capable this bird is compared to all other birds.

The 'offer' was reported by Jane's. We don't know the context or if it was done at a high enough level. What some Rosoboronexport and Pakistan Army officers might say to one another has been taken to mean big things (e.g. Su-35, S-400, Mi-28NE, etc), yet nothing has come of it. Until Rosoboronexport says in clear terms, "we are discussing an Mi-28NE sale to Pakistan,", I wouldn't consider that helicopter a factor.

That aside, the Mi-28NE is a heavyweight platform, it has a much heavier payload than the T-129 and Z-10. Basically, it can carry 16 ATGM vs. 8 on the T-129 and Z-10. For what it's worth, the PAA already has a heavy attack helicopter in the pipeline - the AH-1Z.

AH-1Zs will not be able to fill required numbers of heavy attack helicopter and pron to sanctions, Ka52 is right answer against Cold Start working with T-129 / Z-10, Ka52 has radar and can provide targeting data to other assets too, also meant for recon too.

What you need is mostly a flying tank... to add to those incoming light Attack helis...
