Z-10 & Z-19 Combat Helicopter News & Discussion

[Oldman1]

WZ-10 is a new design as well unlike T-129 which is being improved by Turkey....

PAA will go for WZ-10

Being new does not mean more advanced.

Being new does not mean more advanced.

The shaping of WZ-10 is definitely more stealthy. The shape has some consideration for reduced RCS while A-129 Agusta design belongs to 80s.

Z-10s are among the best helicopters and Chinese haven't offered to anyone.... But surely Pakistan can easily acquire it.

Keeping the discussion of our requirements aside, era of reliance on USA is over. It was never a dependable supplier for us but now in China, India and Pakistan equation, it is even more undependable.

I have no disagreement but the current realistic scenario is that all AH-1 inventory needs upgrades/spares you can't neglect them, at the same time the No 1 contender so far is AH-1Z if by 2015/2016 Pakistan gets no AH-1Z then we can comfortably switch to Z-10A because it is already in works with better realiable Engine on its way and more payload. There will always be IF because Pakistan AF/Army is not ready to ditch US superior equipment.

T-129 seems to be a political decision by a political party namely pml-n in self-interests and future businesses, I don't know why PA would not even try out Z-10/Z-19 [modified with gun].
