Agreed, but fatman17 bro what about the rumored 3 that have been delivered in Pak ?

Nothing have been delivered yet. Plus i think that these will be delivered in End 2018 through to whole 2019. US knows that they cannot afford to complete shut out Pakistan. They simply cant!

Better to invest in Z-10 beauti

With this form of solid Configuration available not sure why we are wasting time with garbage Super Cobra

Because we want US to pay for Gunship use and their ammunition from FMF. US will not reimburse for any military hardware used that is of non US origin.
However if Pakistan no longer wants to use FMF compensation then there is no need to buy US hardware, when better or cheaper alternatives available.

According a Pentagon report, US plans to replace Afghan Mi-17 with UH-60A+ Black Hawks have met new “challenges” as the Russian helicopters are superior in cargo capacity and high altitude flying [emoji576]https://t.co/rYwmA0tSiT #avgeek #military #aviation #helicopters #Afghanistan

Interesting bit of news

1 suggestion; Pakistan can invest in Turkish new engine & then install it in these Z-10 beasts....
& that can resolved the engine issue

Some countries attach helo still not able to match the 1965 Cobra. Some of the qualities of Cobra are still not available in present latest Attack helo. Quote from ex pilot.

AH1Z are not embargoed but delayed.
Reasons why AH1Z delivery is late
1:Hangers are not ready in Pakistan
2ak pilots have not yet completed their training courses yet
3:Electronic and cockpit equipment is not timely prepared due to busy production-line for those components https://t.co/9ytjFy9m8B

You could get engines from Ukraine - they make decent attack helicopter engines. That could be an option if the US fails to release T-129 engines or if Z-10's engines aren't good enough. You could also use the Z-10s for Sindh and Punjab and T-129s for NA and COIN. Motor Sich used to make engines for Russian attack helicopters, engines should be good enough.

Per US Crew on Mi-8/17 who had flown it for a while (South America and AfPak) for high/humid Mi beats UH-60s

Heard some T129s were delivered today at Chaklala by an Antonov 124...

Assuming paa will be getting new built with offset of some parts built at pac ?? Unless few for local orientation and training being provided part of the deal like pac did for Mashaq to Nigeria

 

[Armchair]

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