so how much did the GoP paid for these assets

$0.so how much did the GoP paid for these assets
$0.
The AH-1Zs were ordered using FMF and CSF (aid and CT/COIN reimbursement).
When the US cut the aid, Pakistan didn't want to pay for them using its own money.
The US put them in storage until the aid resumes or we change our minds. No sanctions.
As it stands, national funds are going into the T129 from Turkey. Assuming that doesn't crash as a result of US-Turkish issues, then I think the PAA will increase the T129 order (or look to the ATAK 2) if the AH-1Z doesn't come.
Personally, I'd like to see the Rooivalk.

That is the early test bed Rooivalk in the picture. The irony is Rooivalk was being offered when Turkey was trying to opt between 129 vs rooivalk; american/Eu pressure made them tilt towards T129. It was one of the worst weeks when we had found at Atlas what actually transpired.Had we approached South Africa back in early 2000 and worked with them on Denel Rooivalk, we wouldn't be discussing this topic. We would have built 4 complete squadron of Roovialk X in Pakistan.
As far as US-Pakistan relationship is concerned, Pakistani corrupt mafia was funding anti-Pakistan lobby in USA, and that funding is slow down a bit. if nothing major happens in Afghanistan from now until March 2019, we should see improvement in relationship, which means, aid package, helicopter and Jordan F-16 coming to Pakistan (if they are still available).
no, the point is USA knows it can squeez pakistan through other means, the carrot is gone, its only going to be stick. pakistan ignored the USA congress while india lobbied for years, any aid, weapons will be strictly frowned by pro indian group which has strong roots in congress and whole indian community is united against pakistan here. you cant send a cent down to pakistan without the indian lobby crying ..how can you think about other weapon systemsHad we approached South Africa back in early 2000 and worked with them on Denel Rooivalk, we wouldn't be discussing this topic.

pakistan needs to focus not only on their immediate needs but also slowly builidng up defense industry with TOT, i think south africa is one avenue that was not explored, especially in choppers, Air to Air missles, SAM and artillery sectorThat is the early test bed Rooivalk in the picture.

Again I say it; Paks lost huge amount of opportunity on Cheetah C/D conversions; plus Rooivalk complete TOTs not to mention IFVs/artillery not to mention communications which would run circles around Harris.

things will only chnage if USA realizes it cannot squeez us(Econmical mis management is over), if pakistn polcy is straigth forward and if we are potical strong

Correct. Unfortunately, Paks had their own interests which were not even aligned with the true patriotic duties for long term internal growth but who paid highest commission and other vested interests. Indeed it is sad in a way of what could have been a hugely profitable partnership.no, the point is USA knows it can squeez pakistan through other means, the carrot is gone, its only going to be stick. pakistan ignored the USA congress while india lobbied for years, any aid, weapons will be strictly frowned by pro indian group which has strong roots in congress and whole indian community is united against pakistan here. you cant send a cent down to pakistan without the indian lobby crying ..how can you think about other weapon systems

unfortunately now is not the time, we are broke, we need mulitlateral donor organization to start, it s time to build up the country, decade of democracy has destroyed the country fundamentals..debt that at the beginning of 2006 stood at 50% of gdp has gone back up to 76% nearly doubled in last 10 years..we are in the same position as we were in 1998When Pakistan fail to react strongly.. US will continue to ridicule Pakistan in same way.
Now is time to put a fullstop on free transit aid, Imran Khan should take the bold decision and start charging $10'000 from each American container landing at Pakistan ports.
