Cant post in T129 thread so posting here. Turkey is not just making Atak/attavk helicopters they are making Gokbey and Blackhawk/Puma/Mi17 class helicopter as well.

Giving us options to replace Alouette/Lama with Gokbey(pretty similar to AW139)and either replace or supplement the Mi17 with the new 20ton helo. Above all we might make inroads to making our own helicopters one day. We should pursue a family of helicopters instead of stand alone systems that dont really add to Pakistan's industrial base. We should also emphasize on at least asking TAI for local manufacturing of spare parts.

Also by going down the route of a family of helicopters the supply chain and economies of scale might also streamlined.

In the meantime as a stop gap I say double down on the Mi35 and also try to get Mi28 or Ka52. Russian attack helicopters have performed well throughout history and in Syria recently(granted it was mostly coin). Mi35, Mi28/Ka52s around 80 would pack a good punch. Rest to add numbers we could get Z10 or Atak variant maybe.

We can still make good come out of this stagnation and U.S deceit. If we play it right.

Some gora contractor did glass cockpit work on Mushaks so maybe same contractor.
Upgraded in Pakistan?
