23mm. hence UPK-23. Same as the cannon on JF-17.

Will we ever see advanced munitions on these Mi35s??

Kornet-E ATGWs were ordered with these for when they will be used in anti-Tank role in conventional warfare. Those are some of the best ATGMs out there. So far we’ve not needed to use them.

How many rounds can it carry on each pod.
Also is there any specific reason why they are being used in Balochistan.

Carries 250 rounds each. UPK translates to “universal Gun pod” from Russian. It’s full name is UPK-23-250 (23mm, 250 rounds).

They’re probably being used in Baluchistan as they are the most advanced Gunships we have. Not sure if they are also being used in the transport role.

It was once on the agenda and Pak-Turk talks also took place. But possibly, this possible deal was also collapsed by United States.
