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

Ka52 seems very good if one can not have Apache to counter rapid armor thrust / cold start.

you can get those mi-28, if you wait a little longer, you may even consider the newly upgraded ones...

Ka-52 is a good choice, but it's not meant for "pure" attack/destruction.

Its beast against conventional force, you can compare it with any other heavy bird. Mi-28 is good but Ka-52 is just another class.

It can find targets in kargil and siachin due to capable radar and other tracking/guidance systems and can hover at 4000m which proving data to other assets.

Yep Ka-52 is another class, but PAK has those light attack helis, who can support and reco, but lack flying tank.
(only My opinion)

T129/Z-10 with Ka-52 can rain hell on cold start attack of IA while other armed helis like Mi-35 and Fennec can provide support to main force.

You can too. but with Mi-28 in the group, it could be better.

Let's not fool ourselves, except for 4 Mi35s and a few Mi17s, nothing else is forthcoming from the Russians, and the PAA knows this and will focus on what's doable.
AH1Zs, Z10s with a uprated motor and possibly the T129 which the Turks are Keen to sell but the price has got to be right. The Turks are notoriously slow negotiators.
