Strange. I think there were orders from other services for these same type of helicopters. Why send them to boneyard when there are potential customers lined up? These should have been sold to them directly. This looks like fake new.

This is fake news...…..

Boneyard in Davis-Monthan AFB (or 309th Aerospace Maintenance and Regeneration Group) Only store aircraft that were operated (past tense) by the USAF for continue preservation and salvaging operation.

AH-1Z is a new helicopter, it would neither need continue preservation and salvaging done to it, which mean it have no point at all putting them with the 309.

If it was a commercial boneyard the article is on about, then that would mean those AH-1Z is scrapped as per ITAR act, which mean they are to be "recycled", which literally mean crushing them and remake the material into something else after taken out all the sensitive technology. Which again, being totally brand new aircraft, it's not likely it is going to be this way.

If and when US refuse delivery of AH-1Z, two things WILL happens, first, you are going to hear from it from the Pakistani and/or US government. Second, they will not be put in boneyard but rather induct them into US Marine, or sell them to third country.

So for me, this seems fake.

Exactly the reasons i stated. Makes no sense so most probably a fake news.

As per a source, the Z-10ME is the direct result of improvements suggested to the platform by PA. A clear indication that the Z-10 will be inducted in PA but how many, thats anyone's guess.

The above pics of PLA's version of Z-10 improved means that he ME was indeed the result of PA's request.

brother, the original deaign of Z 10 use PTC -67c engine. due to the embargo imposed by USA, we have to cut off armour and optical sensors/MAWS from the original design. now domestic engine get better, we can put those missing parts back. and those trial in Pakistan further enlighten us in some of the shortcomings for improvement. i can say its gonna be better in the.future.

i can clearly tell the additional armour plate for cockpit and engine compartment is strongly advised by PA.

and i hope they can further escalate the.engine. power to 1500KW.

30 ATAK cant meet the demand of PA, Z 10 can play a big role in PA.

WZ-10 engine will be for the new heavy attack helicopter that will come out soon.
is it turbo shaft type '9H' or type'10'.

one day it carrys 16 ATGM and MMR, then it will turn to a heavy armed helicopter.

A new heavy attack helicopter like AH-64 (about 10t) will take 16 ATGM and MMR with WZ-10 engine (涡轴10发动机).
And Z-10 is just about 6t.

Z-10 is the first-class weapon in PLA, similar to ZTZ-99A, Type 055 DDG, and J-20 in PLAA, PLAN, and PLAAF. While Z-10 is allowed to be exported now, but others not. It means a new heavy helicopter is ready. @wanglaokan

Just like J-10/FC-20, Type 054A FFG.
