Turkey can also do this upgrade.UAE could assist in upgrading Pakistani AH-1s with new unveiling of UMTAS/Hellfire/Brimstone missile and Cirit/APKWS infrared imaging rocket.
In theory AH-1 modification with UAE weapon could carry 8 or 16 ATGMs and 8 or 16 imaging infrared rockets.

You think this could work?
No point to upgrade these 1960s machine. T129 or Chinese Helo is the future.UAE could assist in upgrading Pakistani AH-1s with new unveiling of UMTAS/Hellfire/Brimstone missile and Cirit/APKWS infrared imaging rocket.

Heard of the AH-1Z?
Marines were thinking of upgrading existing helicopters to that standard but changed their mind and used new built helicopters.
Jordanians have done a great job of upgrading older ones. Maybe you could do a proper thread on it?
There is news articles on it, but if I was Pakistan I wouldn't trust the US with doing these upgrades.
Never delivered yet, already few of them assign to Marine. And you talk about AH1s. Not z.
bhool jao yaarNever delivered yet, already few of them assign to Marine. And you talk about AH1s. Not z.
Plus, these weapon need much more powerful engine. Otherwise boneyard full of AH1s
ham tu kab ka bhool chukaa.... sir ji naya bunty agaya haa....
bus yaar tel dekho tel ki dhaar dekho hahahah
The Army might test it as part of its wide-deployment ATGM requirement. The Army will test OMTAS/UMTAS by the end of Q4 2019 (if not already) as well. So let's see.KSA apparently hired Denel engineers and manufactured indigenous version of Mokopa or got TOT from Denel(VERY UNLIKELY) for Mokopa ATGM. It could also possibly upgrade anti tank capabilities of AH-1 and extend capabilities for a while.

Could this be a valid option?
We are getting umtas/omtas with t129 package right?
