Yes it is.

Agree, pics of Pakistan's VT4 will clear the remaining 10% doubt about authenticity of news.

It sounds like we will be seeing a lot of these in Pakistan very soon. Inshallah

Sir the problem is we dont have much Heli or AD assets. India will be having about 100+LCHs and 24 Apaches and we can't even have a deal signed for Gunships. Our Cobras are now begging us to get retired and we haven't got any Gunship deal confirmed. gunships are vital for Anti Tank Warfare

Also we don't have much mobile Air Defence Assets for our ground forces. Our FM 90 only has 15 km whereas India's Akash has 30km range. MANPADs have lesser ranges

valid concern.. Pakistan needs to increase the efforts to mass produce a heli.. otherwise helis will be landing in fieldw like indian helis AH64 in fields

According to Norinco, the VT-4s are handed over to the customer on schedule.

Our policy is minimum credible deterrence. We don't have to match bullet for a bullet. LOMADs and SHORAD will cover the necessary VPs/VAs. While The Offensive Elements will have the necessary Rotorary Element where required. And Defensive Elements will be having their own Integral Rotory support.

Joint venture with the South Africans or the turks with offset's could've done wonder's for Pakistan.
The Pakistan Geography demands a robust Heli for civilian and military use. Disaster management, S&R, COIN in areas of Balochistan and tribals and most importantly border management.
There is enough demand for a domestically sourced Heli and I cannot find any reason to why it isn't needed.

Maybe the VT-4s were shipped on April 23, 2020.

And the VT-4s left the factory on April 20, 2020.

completely know and understand the policy of credible conventional detrerance but, spares are not available for attack helis, canalization is happening as we speak. Pakistan needs to accelerate replacements

Just something about how Norinco worked hard to make sure that VT-4s can be handed over on time.

VT-4 or type99 are 4th gen tanks while AK is high 3rd gen, t-80ud of PA are 3rd gen while AZ is an upgrade of 2nd gen to 3rd gen capability. t-85upg is also a 3rd gen tank, rest of t59 and t69 are all 2nd gen at the best.
