Brother the scenario has changed now....Now PA is fully involve in War against Terror and it is great need now so good opportunity for China as well...
Mi-35 is Multirole Helicopter and not a pure attack helicopter as WZ-10 is.....it weight size, armament maneuverability matters
China seldom release news on foreign arms sales. And these deal is more likely a free loan of 3 WZ-10 helo to pakistan. Even more unlikely, it will be mention on Chinese media.

to be honest this is only the beginning Pakistan and china have constantly looked each others back like brothers china being the bigger one of course .Its only the beginning first 3 then china will sell 20 and then joint production of the z 10. Pakistan might just get destroyers in the near future from china and Pak-China coalition isn't far.

don't u think u r taking about too large numbers?
I guess 16 Mi35 Hinds and 36 other gunship (T129,Mi28,Viper,Z10) are sufficient...............and our affordability is far too low which is big problem

BEIJING- Pakistan’s closest friend China is expected to give another gift this year, in shape of their famous helicopter Z10. According to reports, three Z10 helicopters are expected to be included in Pakistan Army aviation fleet, which will be helpful in cleaning the terrorism in the county.
Pakistan showed interest in purchasing Z10 helicopters, sources said. The helicopter is capable of targeting the enemy with a range of 3 to 4 kilometers without coming in reader. It is also capable of targeting in the air as well as on ground from air.
With the induction of Z10, Pakistan Army’s capability of targeting the terrorists will increase. Pakistan is already using the helicopters effectively in the war against terrorism.
On the other hand Pakistan is also interested to by Russian’s Mi-30 helicopters as well. This will not only strengthen the defence of the country but also help force to counter-terrorism effectively.

First question, how exactly are these helicopters "GIFT"?
Second, is it in addition to the Russian Mi-30 ones Pakistan was planning to purchase.or was Pakistan only "interested" in them as the article suggests?
Anyway I hope you get them soon and put them to good use.

The Z-10 is the new Chinese attack helicopter. It's development began in the mid-1990s. Prototype of the Z-10 made it's maiden flight in 2003. It seems that initial production gunships were delivered to the Chinese army in 2009-2010. It is the first dedicated modern Chinese attack helicopter. It has been designed with extensive technical assistance from Eurocopter and Augusta. Other sources claim that development of the Z-10 has been assisted by Russian Kamov helicopter design bureau.
Primary mission of the Z-10 is anti-armor and battlefield interdiction. It also has some limited air-to-air combat capabilities.
The Z-10 helicopter has a standard gunship configuration with a narrow fuselage and stepped tandem cockpits. Gunner is seated at the front and the pilot is at the rear. The fuselage has sloped sides to reduce radar cross section. All vital areas are believed to be protected by armor plates.
Weapons of the Z-10 may consist of 30-mm cannon, HJ-9 anti-tank guided missiles (comparable to the TOW-2A), newly developed HJ-10 anti-tank missiles (comparable to the AGM-114 Hellfire) and TY-90 air-to-air missiles. It can also carry unoperated rocket pods.
The prototype of the Z-10 is powered by two Canadian Pratt & Whitney PT6C-67C turboshaft engines, delivering 1 531 hp each. However indigenous engines might be used on production helicopters. It might use the same engine of the WZ-9 helicopter, but it is less powerful than Canadian design.
This helicopter may be fitted with a fly-by-wire control, helmet-mounted sight for head-up display, television and forward-looking infrared sensors, radar and laser warning receivers, infrared jammer and decoy dispensers.
It is believed that that the Z10 attack helicopter is in the same class as the AH-2 Rooivalk and the A-129 Mangusta, however it is not as capable as the AH-64 Apache.
