Pakistan buys 40 T-129 ATAK helicopters worth 2 billion $ along with 1 million assault rifles.

I think Mi35 ordered for ANF.

And for the SSG air assault Group !

[DESERT FIGHTER]

I heard similar news back in PPP era... Heard it from Yousaf Raza Gillani.. When he visited Turkey.

What "national news"?

Give me a source (and no, not some unknown radio Pakistan website. A proper source with statement from some credible person regarding the issue)

Uptil now, there is NO confirmation.

 

[خره مينه لګته وي]

ANKARA: Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said that his country will provide 40 modern fighter helicopter to Pakistan.

In a Twitter message, Erdogan said that Turkey would also provide Pakistan light assault rifles of worth one million dollars. – APP

Radio Pakistan is officially owned by the Gov't of Pakistan. Still doesn't mean the news is true, I wouldn't put it past Pakistanis to screw up, even on a colossal scale.

with an American engine would require NOC, I'm just not too thrilled at this time. Lets wait for some other sources to confirm this news. suddenly there is a lot of funds floating about for defense purchases.

YeaH toooo much $$$$$ . dnt know where we get from so much money

 

[Tank131]

If true, it will be huge for PA. These will replace the AH-1 forming the core of the fleet, but newly acquired used ah-1f and ah-1z will serve in WoT whereas t129 will focus on east.

 

[Incog_nito]

ATAK might come under TOT and will be produced locally... for no. 40 is not correct

It will be like serial production of 80-100 in coming 7-10 years.

If you really think the official defence budget stated by your Govt is the real military budget Pakistan survives on, then you are seriously mis informed ...

The real Pakistani budget is probably 6 - 7x more than the stated budget and more than half of that goes into behind the scenes R&D and learning...

And in every thread many senior members always say that we dnt have enough resouces and we have limited budget

It is all media hogwash as usual.

If that was the case, the MoU would be signed at IDEAS right?

Was it signed? No!

Hence, no MoU means no contract, which means that this is a false report, probably fed by Turks as no statement came from Pakistani authorities yet.

I am sorry but projecting such false news and media hype are not helping the Turks.

On the contrary, it is only reducing chances of PA inducting the ATAK, which are already thin rope slim. The Z-10 is earning favorable reviews after the recent Raad Ul Barq exercise though.
