Specifically, Pakistan has requested 15 Bell AH-1Z Viper attack helicopters, including engines and spares, as well as 1000 AGM-114 Hellfire II Missiles and their targeting and communications systems.
"This proposed sale will provide Pakistan with a precision strike, enhanced survivability aircraft that it can operate at high-altitudes," the DSCA said in a statement. "By acquiring this capability, Pakistan will enhance its ability to conduct operations in North Waziristan Agency (NWA), the Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA), and other remote and mountainous areas in all-weather, day-and-night environments."

There are couple of things that some of you need to understand.
All you're seeing is 15 vipers & $1Bn, which isn't the case & certainly not this SIMPLE of a deal!
My advice to the ones who can't understand/comprehend the deal should read about it.
AH-Z1 Vipers are high tech, will be inducted right away (since we already got the facilities & expertise because of the cobras, just need little tweaking for this new baby), low on maintenance cost (eg hinge less rotators, mean 75% less parts), not in anyway inferior to the Apaches but certainly superior to the Chinese & Russian's.
1000 hellfire missiles is the other BIG thing in this deal. Obviously these missiles won't be used against the Taliban scums, just for the high value targets & for Burraq drones & Pakistan is now capable enough to indigenously produce one once they'd get these. Its a win-win in my opinion.
And in this cost you're going to get high tech communication equipments as well, plus the training & integration of all these things.
For $1Bn we're getting high tech equipment & technology - not a bad deal at all! Have you guys forgotten about the fact that how F-16 helped us in making JF-17? What about Babur cruise missiles? Remember US fired few cruise missiles on OBL but they malfunctioned & fell on Pak-Afghan border region. Pakistan is very capable now, this deal will help in transferring tech too. Broaden your thinking.
As for the Chinese deal, that will happen, we're not going to stall on that, if the testing goes well, so, stop panicking.
But keep in mind that setting up a new facility & training takes up time & cost! & few of you were saying invest $1Bn in some new joint venture, that would take us 10 year to roll out a prototype! Need to balance out things & that is what Pak army is doing.

These helis (or any other which we may choose) are late for our today's need .... but can be used for the need of tomorrow, if god forbid that arises.
