What We have paid for AH 1Zs?I guess Pakistan has no choice now but to just stick with this deal unless Pakistan can start building their own.
It cost Turkey/Italy just $3.2 billion to design and build the T129 Atak helicopter and Pakistan has spent $1.5 billion just purchasing it (plus $1 billion on the AH-1Zs).
I am sure Pakistan could've easily done a helicopter JV with China with that sort of money to build the machines suited for Pakistan.
I am not sure what the logic was for Pakistani Army going for this sanction-prone deal while PAF successfully managed to free itself from US with the JF-17 Thunder program.
