Come to think of it, the Z-10's were delivered to CHaklala, and also assembled at Chaklala, only later were they flown to Dhamial a fair few days later.

Well that is good but according to a member here Pakistan would also go for T-129. By the which Anti Tank Missile would be used by us on WZ-10 ??

Are you trying to troll? Fancy being up a 2012 news to claim China do not have proper supply?

Why not you post a post of 2000 to make your point? WZ-9 turboshaft and WZ-16 turboshaft are both 100% made in China.

The PW engine is only used on prototype when developing phase.

China is not like turkey where our gunship engine still needs to import.

How many WZ-10 can you count from there?

Those are just a small display team.

Fancy you claim we do not have many, our number has exceed euro tiger gunship total produced.

Z-10 takes first flight in Pakistan

China's first Changhe Aircraft Industries Corporation Z-10 helicopter shipped to Pakistan completed its first test in Rawalpindi, a city located in the province of Punjab, according to internet users as cited in overseas Chinese-language news outlet Duowei News.

Earlier reports surmised that Pakistan was choosing its next-generation attack helicopters from either China's Z-10 or Turkey's A-129 to replace its obsolete AH-1S Cobras purchased from the United States back in 80s. Meanwhile, rumors from the Russian embassy suggested that Pakistan had placed an order for Mi-35 heavy assault gunship helicopters from Moscow. The Mi-35 may be used to test the Z-10's performance in a real combat environment, although the Russian reports remain unconfirmed.

Pakistan has been one of China's traditional allies since Cold War era. With India looming as a potential enemy, it is very likely that Pakistan will operate a Chinese attack helicopter in the future. The Z-10 helicopter is capable of attacking an enemy target up to four kilometers away, a distance that leaves the Z-10 simultaneously out of the range of ground forces. It would great enhance the ability of Pakistan's armed forces to combat terrorist cells in the nation.

Since the United States already provided AH-1F helicopters to Pakistan in 2007 to replace some of the latter's older Cobras, Islamabad has not made a decision yet about purchasing the Z-10. Pakistan has still belied some interest towards that A-129 despite favoring the Z-10. Whether the copter is ultimately sold to the nation, the Z-10 combat capability will very likely be tested in Pakistan first.

Want China times? They are operate by Taiwanese who are very negative about China. Those highlighted words are authors comment and not reality.

Common sense will tell you it will be a logistic nightmare if PA operate 3 different kind of gunship plus the fact if USA is not happy, they will block the engine spare. Then what can Pakistan do? Go beg Uncle Sam again?

Sir have we completely dropped the idea of T-129 ?

 

[AwA.]

how about the sound of blade?

Well! I can not say it was super quite, but slightly less noise than a AH-1.

Any specific timings of the flights nowadays? I have been waiting the whole evening but couldn't spot the Z-10. This time I have better camera with 24x zoom power.
