Nope, 129 is a done deal, orders placed and batch production continues. The Zulus are not coming though.

So Pakistan can have 2 plateforms. One Z 10 and other T 129?

 

[StormBreaker]

So are we going to be getting this birds as well from China ?

I wish this comes with a license production.
Then only we can justify a third attack heli procurement else it seems quite confusing

Z-10ME was found to be in China on January 6, 2020:

Just a few hours it takes to reach Pak from China, no worries

Wow our Army is going to operate 4 plateforms. 1 AH1S, 2 Mi 35Ms, 3 T 129s and 4 Z 10MEs

Up to 800km

Thats more than AH-64, T 129, Mi 35 and AH 1Z

In China?

Pakistan

In China (confirmed) and that's what I was wondering that the previous trials were done in Pakistan,Why not this time as well? After all Z10 didn't perform well on high altitude terrain if I am not wrong

So does that mean T 129 is out?

I don't think so

Well I am very much confident and sure about what I posted.You can confirm from whomever you hear news like this.

Though maybe they will come to Pakistan for further testing in future.

Thanks for sharing the news and pics.

I can bet you have more insight into the matter but not sharing the full news.

If the chinese helicopter has issues it would need more time to fix than it would take to integrate the new Turkish engine so let's hope the Turks figure something out because going for the Chinese helicopter would be a disaster in my opinion mate

As per available data an improved engine is already installed in Z10ME along with improvement in it's overall performance/protection. Meanwhile T129 engine shall at most be available for production up to 2025. Its not wise to delay the heli deal till that long.

 

[Ahmet Pasha]

Long term benefits from TAI will include an option to team with them to make the whole family in Pakistan small utility, medium(blackhawk/Puma equivalent) and attack(ATAK 2).

But yeah in short term delay might be a bit long.
