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

Nothing to do with capacity
T129 is light weight,Z10 is media weight.
Z10 have larger capacity and more firepower
If T129 is selected, the reason is wether the decision maker is foolish or there is special interest

Let's not to get ahead of ourselves, the news is not authenticated. PA still need Z10 in large scale anti-tanks role. The potential of Z10 is way beyond T129 cause it's a medium to heavy platform. We shall be confident with our helis.

There is always political consideration involved when you double price to buy a platform(European platform usually more expensive due to High labor cost). I always support Pakistan have close military ties with Turkey and making weapon trading with them. Turkey always support Pakistan when it comes to India-Pakistan conflicts. Pakistan will induct both T129 and Z10.

Pakistan is in a very fortunate position. We can access sensitive technology from both China and Turkey. Both close and trusted partners. Inducting both the T 129 and Z10 will be the best option for Pakistan and will allow us to access best of both. This will also be a great boon for our local helicopter industry (when we finally set one up!).

Z 10 is already inducted in small batch of 3 and will be in reasonable quantity soon while T 129 will also arrive in PA.Both will be making back bone of PAA.

Premature news

 

[mustafa erkan]

There is a video on YouTube about T-129 and giving information about export of it to Azerbaican and to Pakistan. Total 17 T-129 for Pakistan as given number of export but video from 2014 and deal not done yet. May be incorrect information.

You're right lot's of talks but no agreement to buy

I dont believe PA would be buying any weapons from MKEK in the near future.
