Pakistan finalized Z-10ME Helicopters deal with China : Journalist Sumaira Khan

Confusing... Netflix can find enough material to shoot a 5-season series about Pakistan's experience in the attack helicopter program tender.

We can have Engin Altan as the leading actor

PA probably faced less hardships for missile and nuke programs than for helicopter procurement.

PAF: first time?
PN (before 2019): wait you guys are getting a budget for new equipment?

No dude, he's a Fighting Falcon.

This is a great ISPR drama idea. We call it, "The Art of Trolling Zarvan"

In seriousness, I did say this earlier... If we watch the video, it's clear that DG ISPR was responding to a question. He might not know everything.

It's starting to seem like that...

I have feeling that Sh. Rashid’s Statement on J10s and ISPR Chief response to an obviously planted question were not random but are meant to send a message to certain quarters. We will most than likely get both the J10s and Z10s, but there are still possibilities albeit remote of goodies from other and unexpected sources.

The ISPR Chief never said that the T129 deal has been abounded but rather PA has moved on. This can be interpreted in different ways.

Do you genuinely think that otherwise misinformed Pakistani journalists had the sudden presence of mind to pose DG ISPR questions about J10C buy and Z10ME? Ofc these were understood and put in there to get a point across.

To be fair, I think it depends. The nation generally follows defence issues to some degree, and I'm sure the journalists came across the countless tweets, FB posts, YouTube vids, etc about these topics. So, I can see a few (esp from Business Recorder, Dawn, etc) asking on their own volition. Sumaira Khan is such a person.

Referring to the people put in the room with DG ISPR, the way media works in Pakistan, DG ISPR knows who is going to ask him what question at which point. There're no surprises in there.

T129 vs Z10.

Z10ME data not available, but its is expected to be better than Z10.

raw data source: wikipedia.

Newer Z10 variant has 1300 kw engine. probably has better rate of climb

I don’t understand the point you are trying to make?

But Z-10 couldn't handle Pakistani climate, altitude, etc. so it would've been a useless machine to acquire from Pakistani point of view.

Now are we taking about Z-10ME?

 

[ARMalik]

It is really annoying that this thread of Z-10s has been turned into a procurement discussion of T-129. Where are the Mods??

Irrespective of what is going with these T-129 helis, Z-10s are on their way for PA.

Good move, Turkey was selling Drones to India, Pakistan should have cancelled deal who sells weapons to our enemy.

Those drones are civilian drones from a private company which a private indian company invested into, atleast bother to look into things beyond reading a 1 sentence headline. The way you describe it, you would think Turkey sold drones like the TB2 or something. lol

this is the drone, its nothing sophisticated, looks like something you can buy off ali express. https://cdnuploads.aa.com.tr/upload...740c99d43fd41d8a136d6bdff90d2b4a.jpg?v=114533

No, the 3 models that were delivered and tested in Pakistan before 2018.

Have the Z-10ME been delivered and tested in Pakistan to date? I've not heard of such reports. It's all very well to say Z-10ME has improved but it needs to be put through rigorous paces in Pakistan.

There were some inklings that the Z10ME had been resent to Pakistan for testing sometime in 2020. Nothing solid exists so I cannot be certain.
