Pakistan likely to buy China’s Z-10 Thunderbolt attack helicopters

[Wolfhound]

Why must it fitted with Turkish weaponery? KD-10 a supposed heavy ATGM proves better than anything Turkey has. Plus KD-10 can be fitted on Wing Loong UCAV. So, its a weapon for many multiple platform.

I do not know what is the obsess of Pakistanis with Turkish weapon?



In fact, WZ-10 spec seems better than some of the contemporary attack helo but just too many bias opinion with basic stereotyping. The most important is WZ-10 is 100% sanction free. PA will never encounter the spare problem plague Cobra if they equipped with WZ-10 gunship.

Dude its not just about the ATGMs ,they even have laser guided rocket pods which are very helpful for long range precis attacks against any enemy.

China KD-10 ATGM belongs to a heavy class of ATGM that can strike 10km.

i am not saying anything about the KD-10 it is indeed a very capable missile, i am mainly talking about guided rocket pods which also have a range of 10 km

Do you mean Roketsan cirit rocket pod? Last I check , it only has a range of max 8km and a mere pathetic 3kg warhead.
I do not know what is the obsess with this rocket if you think its better than KD-10? Probably the low price and market gimmick.

Yes rokestan cirit. 8 km is still alot specially when its precise. It has two modes Tri mode:- Anti Armour, Anti Personnel and Incendiary and Anti personal:- Increased Anti Personnel and Incendiary. It is not meant as an ATGM so i cant compare it to KD-10, however the KD-10 can be compared with UMTAS ATGM.

Baba hold your jets, its not a car we r purchasing.

 

[Super Falcon]

Good news but we get it in 10 years as we do usually where is J 10 just talk nothing reality based

 

[Gufi]

Z10 again has western engine which means it will be blocked unless replaced with unproven weaker chinese engine

that is why we got 3 free helicopters to check the unproven engine out in combat situations

WZ-10 is considered as medium weight class and not light weight. T-129 and Italy Augusta are considered light weight. Max take off weight is 5tons while WZ-10 max is 7tons.

5000 kgis the empty weight of T-129 Atak. If It is loaded with missiles+radar, It reaches 6500-7000 kg... because wings have a 1200kg weapon carriage capacity...

5000 tonnes is the empty weight of T-129 Atak. If It is loaded with fuel+missiles+radar, It reaches 7000 tonnes...

5tons is the max. Empty weight is 3.6tons. Unless you claim T129 is not originated from Augusta attack helo. No say, it can be different so much.
