Bell Helicopter is expecting to sign a second export order for its H-1 series UH-1Y Venom utility and AH-1Z Viper attack helicopters in the coming months. At the same time, the company is preparing to hand over to the US government the first three of 12 AH-1Z helicopters on order for Pakistan this summer, with the remainder to be delivered next year. The US approved the sale of AH-1Zs to Pakistan in April 2015.

Speaking to Jane's at the US Navy League's annual Sea Air Space exposition, Nate Green, business development manager for Bell Helicopter's global military business, said the company was experiencing a strong uptake in interest from FMS customers for the two platforms, with a second export order expected to be signed in the next two months

And for who that 2nd order is?

My guess is Pak .

My guess is Pak .

Probably not. It could be Jordan since they transferred their AH1Fs to Pakistan.

I wonder what will happen if PAA puts in a follow up order of 12 more units. Will US approve it or give us a negative response. If we do so after the original 3 are delivered it will be a good litmus test of our relations with the US.

@Horus thinks we would try to get 30 of them in total and and around 100 attack helicopters in total 30 Zulu and other which ever helicopter we would choose most likely T-129. In my opinion Pakistan will try to have around 120 dedicated attack helicopters in future these don't include MI-35.
