how do you know that Z 10 doesnt have scouting and communication ability?
its really weird that you try to compare Z 10 with Mi 24.
first you need to get air dominance that you can mobolize your helicopeters, especially in flat area, take out those anti air fire power before helicopters get in battle field.
its all about numbers in war, unless the gap is generations.
you need both quality and quantity to win a modern war.
and FYI, modern armed heli can carry SRAAM that can take out each other.
you cant get away with a win by counting only on quality, still remember the Tiger VS T34 case? German was totally overwhelmed in numbers.
as ive said few Apache and AH1z cant do jack shit.
I doubt China will fit L-3 communication module that most other Pakistani aircraft is fitted, and if they cannot communicate with each other, how to they scout? And with a small load out, you cannot put powerful radar on it as well (Consider Viper is twice the weight than Z-10)
Attack chopper have very limited use in battlefield, not just that you need local air superiority, but you also need to clear from ground threat, which mean if there is a unit of soldier with AA weapon such as Manpad, your chopper is grounded.
Problem is, Pakistani is not going to win even local air superiority against India, quite stupid to think otherwise. And then you are talking about a large armoured formation against India? In this case, PA is going to suffer a lot because of the lack of air support.
Which mean in this case, you cannot try to put number in, because the other side is always going to top that and then some. Your example between Tiger and T-34 is flawed. First of all, most Tiger was taken out by CAS, second of all, Tiger was not used as much in Eastern Front than in Western Front, and Germany are fighting a 2 sides war and being pushed together. In this case, you don't even need T-34, even Sherman with P-47 support can win over Germany's Tiger.
In this case, Pakistan need something called "Force Multiplier" to win over India, you cannot just depends on number alone, because if you try o match it, you will lose. And in this case, you need a chopper that can go in and out alone and take out target tactically, and this is not something Z-10 can do.
And if you put a 4 ship formation of Apache or Viper in the right place, you will not believe how much it can do, I have been there, and seen how it work, and I probably cannot tell you how unless you have some basic military tactical knowledge.
And finally, I did not compare Z-10 to Mi-24, I said Z-10 to Pakistan is like Mi-24 to Russia, both were used as dedicated gunship, and I did not compare between the 2
