Pakistan Army's T-129 ATAK Helicopter Deal | Updates & Discussions.

[-------]

This chopper with out doubt can fill the needs for Pakistan Aviation sector, Pakistan really has to focus on this wonderful plateform , sufficient quantity and latest Tech and unlimited Ammo which I am sure we can order and train more often with live Ammo


Z-10 / T-129 offer a nice 1/2 punch to have and build the aviation fleet around

Puma Local Manufacturing deal would solve our long term transport needs

The speed for Z-10 and T129 are sufficient for our needs and the range is also quite appropriate.

From weight carrying ability (Weapons) it seemz the Z-10 has some advantage and the T-129 is marginally lighter in that sector.

However the two platform offers a ideal combination to diversify the Aviation fleet


While PUMA offers a nice loal production for Transport Level chopper

Ideal Setup Long Term

Pakistan Helicopter Factory ​

100--Z10 (Licenced Serial Production)
50----T129 (Licenced Serial Production)
50----PUMA (Serial Production)
50----AgustaWestland AW139 (On Going Order)

---------------------------------------------------------------

Short Term Benefits
3 to 12----Mi-35 see how things evolve
18 ----Super Cobra (Special Ops , over priced limited ammo, delays delays )
30 ----Cobra (Pending retirement bit outdated)

Rate of climb for Z-10 is inaccurate, I bet the rate of climb is so bad that Chinese are not willing to disclose that information. One of the main reasons why A-129INT was selected by Turkey is because rate of climb, which is an important factor when you are flying in between and over mountainous terrain.

I think, The Atak sent to Pakistan last year was T-129A COIN variant. This time, It may be T-129 B1 variant to test onboard Mizrak ATGM and Cirit firings.

Is there scope for different engines to be used in the T129?
