AH-1Z Viper, 1000 Hellfire II Missiles approved for sale to Pakistan.

[Akasa]

I will repeat again Pakistan needs to replace over 50 units of Cobras, which helicopter will replace them?
Z-10 will be tested rigorously and in my opinion will lead to an upgraded model based on combat applications by Pakistan Army. The Z-10 most likely will replace our Cobras, the Viper however will be our high end machine.

The comment was in response to questions regarding why Pakistan chose AH-1Z instead of more Z-10. The respective capabilities, at this moment, of the two platforms should suffice more than enough for an answer.

Bro its not Super Cobra, its AH-1Zulu the latest kin to AH-64E Apache Guardian.



Go to sleep.

Z-10s will be the cavalry the Zulu will be the highest end copter. A 2 tier attack element followed by Mi-35s for SSG.

Some reports are suggesting we are getting 48 helicopters from Russia which also include some MI-28

I think we will have HI-LO mix for attack element.

AH-1Z Viper to be the spearhead
Z-10 Thunderbolt to replace Cobras
Mi-35s to fulfill the flying IFV role for Spec Ops.
Some AH-1S will be upgraded and made to soldier on further.

All in all we will have one heck of an air borne assault element in our Army Aviation for both CT and Conventional roles.

 

[SecularNationalist]

1 billion dollar for these few piece of craps?
We should rather use our funds efficiently and buy advanced high tech Russian helicopters like KA-50 etc .Each cost $16 million.In that much money we would have bought many of them and hence more fire power.

Lets make a poster with use info (like you did nice speculation regarding use off)

 

[Muhammad Omar]

US only sold pakistan the gunship becos China can provide WZ-10 gunship. If China never sell WZ-10 to PA. US will continue sanction PA equipment. I hope Pakistan can see the true color of US.

True that...

Yes it will be a brilliant idea to explain why we are seeking so many helicopters, kids are confused.

 

[DANGER-ZONE]

Although Pakistan had already enough on PAK-US arms deals and even today the PA aviation is dying to get handful of spares for its aging AH-1F fleet but US let us down, like ever and only the brotherly countries came up to help us.

But never mind we are a tough nation and we are always ready to be screwed by US.

Pakistan just only need one heavy lifter like Chinook or some other ... seriously DEADLY Army Aviation in the region.. we don't need Apache ... 50 + zulus are enugh to kick ***!


Most powerful Army Aviation in the region from Middle east to Asia Pacific will use 5 attack helis and all for different purposes. U.S. and Russia are the only countries who are using 5X Gunship platforms rest of all are 3X like France and Britian... In our region Pakistan will become 1st .... hellya!

Here we go

 

[DANGER-ZONE]

We have been requesting US Govt. for Zulu sales for at least last 5 years but always rejected and now when China and Russia competing closely to supply us the attack hello and we are about to start new era of good military relationship with Russia, suddenly out of nowhere US hops in.

WTF .... Pakistanis have u guys gone nuts. Use the top most part of your body before finalising the deal.

 

[VelocuR]

12 years of humiliated, bullied, and punished by US, we have been suffering alot.

Obviously short memories we are.

War on terrorism are just over and already eliminated many terrorists in northern areas.

Sir these are on Cards US seems to be trying to stop Z-10, look we needed them in start of OPS Zarb e Azab not after we are about to finish and Z-10 is matchless platform today it's radar and sound signature is lowest in it's kind.Mi 35 is meant for SOF.Ah-10 Yaldrum is going to form core of our fleet.PRC has asked if you place huge order then it's likely that we may have a production facility for Z-10.....My humble suggestion that we should avoid PRC nomenclature, for weapons instead we should name Z-10 Thunderbolt(AH-10 Yaldrum).

 

[sameer hussain]

i would perfer to work with chinese with the Z-10 for the time being at least getting into helicopter maker and tranfer for technology and would enhance Pakistan capability.getting any coper is important as Pakistan is going self reliance which will help it grow its defence industry.
