Pakistan Army Aviation Corps - Updated

[PakFactor]

The issue was resolved long time ago 2 helicopters are in production as we speak

I thought their was the issue of US not allowing license to use the engines for our Helos.

Issue has been resolved after Trump lifted sanctions on Turkey. Was discussed on this forum in detail a couple of weeks back.

How come no defence Website reported such a important issue.

How come no defence Website reported such a important issue.

TAI official said that engine was never a problem. Pakistan army changed specs 2 to 3 times.
And recently news came out that TAI started working on 2 pakistani t129 body/frame. But no news agency posted this.

With all the improvements made by the Chinese and with the US NOC for T129 not forthcoming, the Z10ME may be coming back in the race for new armed helos for the PAA.

Based on specs ceiling of 4400 is not impressive as well as max engine still under 1000 and weight of 6000 kg too heavy compared to rivals ??

compared to say t129

With max 5000 kg weight and engine over 1000 plus kw x2 and ceiling of 4750 plus or 15000 ft in hot humid environment which was where I think it excels

why PLA has not such high requirements like the Pakistan Army?

Every country has their own requirements standards. Pakistan army aviation assets operate in hot, high and mountainous areas.

Hi,

They don't have OUR COMBAT experience---.

They don't have our weapons experience and exposure as well---.

They don't have our experience of training with the americans either---.

As much as we blame the americans---training with them does give us insight to the needs and demands of modern day combat and the machines used---.

Hot and freezing, both extremes

 

[Hakikat ve Hikmet]

Hot and freezing, both extremes

Forget about fighting, even surviving in these extremes is a feat in itself...

Turkish Defense Industry will soon be hit by CAATSA sanctions. Turkey lost $9B work order for F-35 parts, now may lose $1.2B order from Pakistan due to CAATSA. Turkey may not be able to source engine and armament for T-129. Turkey will also lose multi billion dollars SOM cruise missile contract.

Bad news. time to reevaluate the Z10M

Fake news more like it

 

[Cool_Soldier]

I believe deal for T129 is still alive.
There is no evidence of cancelled yet and still ambiguity is there regarding Engine issue.

Wait for some valid and authenticated information from either Party source.
