You'll see a lot of those if you live in Rawalpindi. Even more if your house is in the flight path of all those helis taking off from dhamial.

there is no meaning or purpose in getting manufacturing for 30 odd helicopters.

Exactly..we need two helicopters in long run over 100s ...a small utility and medium utility...we should join Turks or find another joint patner...

Ultimately mi 17 will have to be replaced so do the bell, and the need will be in 100s may 150 each if all three services are counted
We recently bought 10+ aw139

Regarding t129 doesn't matter whether we buy them off the shelves if it's cheaper that way

Did it landed to get fuel ?

Usually an 124 brings JFT engines and fuselage etc from China. Additionally it also makes refuelling stops. Russia has started using lslamabad as a pit stop for their aircraft going East.

Turkey sells 30 ATAK helicopters to Pakistan in largest single military export deal
Turkey and Pakistan have finalized a deal for Pakistan's purchase of T129 Advanced Attack and Tactical Reconnaissance Helicopters (ATAK) on Friday.

The helicopters will be delivered gradually over five years, the sources said. The deal is the biggest single export deal of Turkey's defense industry, the country's defense industry directorate said earlier.

With the sales contract, the longstanding cooperation and bilateral relations between Pakistan and Turkey in the defense field gained a new dimension.

In a November 2017 interview with the Anadolu Agency, Pakistani Minister for Defense Production Rana Tanveer Hussain said his country planned to procure 30 attack helicopters and four naval ships from Turkey.

The T129 ATAK helicopter is a new generation, tandem, two-seat, twin-engine helicopter specifically designed for attack and reconnaissance.

Developed from the combat-proven AgustaWestland A129CBT, the new aircraft incorporates a new system philosophy with a new engine - the LHTEC CTS 800-4A - new avionics, sight systems and weapons, modified airframe, an uprated drive train and a new tail rotor.

A series of talks have been held with various countries, including Pakistan, for the export of ATAK helicopters, which have proven themselves during operations with their superior capabilities. In this context, ATAKs have participated in various international events as part of these quests to showcase its capabilities.
