For PAA; Z-10P will be a better option instead of Z-19 along with ATAK in good numbers.
 
The Z-19 is a scout helicopter, it flies along with groups of Z-10s to designate targets.
For scout role PA has recently replaced it's Bell-206's with AS550 Fennec's. So the Z-19 doesnt have any role in PA fleet at the moment.

Wasn't advocating the Z19E, just to inform our colleagues the options available from China.

Hi we can use it as a scout with millimetre radar option as I’m not sure Americans will give this
Options with the helicopters we are getting from them
Your input will be appreciated
Thx

Millimeter radar is good for hunting armor, Pakistan's attack helicopters are primarily in use for counter terrorism operations, plus Pakistan has AESA AWACs which can track both ground and air targets in the same time.
So eventually Pakistan should get millimeter radar capability on it's helicopters but for now its not an urgency. The Turks are working on a Millimeter radar add on for the T-129, Chinese are working on it for the WZ-10 and the AH-1Z can carry it under its wing pylon if needed.
 
Pakistan Army AH-1Z Viper attack helicopters will be fitted with A/A49E-7(v4) gun turrets as part of a wider US Navy contract that has also tasked General Dynamics with providing the turrets to the US Marine Corps. The total value of the contract amounts to $9.06 million, with approximately $3.1 million of that earmarked for the Pakistani purchase. Pakistan will receive the turrets by August 2021, where they will be fitted with the M197 20mm cannon. Other equipment ordered by Islamabad for the helicopters—15 of which were approved for sale by the US State Department in 2015—include the Thales TopOwl helmet-mounted display (HMD) system, Lockheed Martin’s AN/AAQ-30 electro-optical and infrared turrets, BAE Systems’ AN/ALE-47 chaff/flare dispensers, Northrop Grumman’s AN/APR-39C(v2) radar-warning receivers (RWR), and AN/AAR-47 missile warning receivers from Orbital ATK.
