WZ10 is near 30 M USD per helicopter and less capable than viper ...

That is some BS from you. WZ-10 targeting system and sensor are far superior than Viper can provide. WZ-10 are able to multi task and acquire far more targets than old US Viper which system are lagging behind.

If you are saying WZ sensors and TS is superior than Viper, then you are smoking some serious crack sonny

Bhai aqal sai lay lia kro kaam kabhi. WZ-10 engine is not capable right now to carry 16 ATGM.

 

[Sulman Badshah]

old US Viper

Both Z10 and AH1Z are latest attack helicopters from their respective countries ... Viper isn't old and even it isn't inducted properly ...

about targeting system This statement is copied from the manufacturer website


The AH-1Z Target Sight System (TSS) incorporates a third-generation FLIR and currently provides the longest range, lowest jitter and highest weapons' accuracy possible of any helicopter sight in the world. In addition, the completely passive and automatic system scans the battlefield without emitting trackable radar, positively identifying and tracking multiple targets at ranges beyond the maximum range of its weapons system.

[Signalian]

India is getting 22Apache and 15 chinook for more than 2.5 b usd
our deal include 1000 hellfire as well

PAA should have ordered the same. AH-64 E and CH-47 F.

There is no heavy lift in PAA, India has Mi-26 already. Mi-17 is a medium lift heli. FCNA is in dire need of a heavy lift heli.

AH-64 E would have helped improve next versions of Z-10.

 

[Sulman Badshah]

AH-64 E would have helped improve next versions of Z-10.

AH1Z is not inferior to AH64E... they are almost equal ..

 

[Atlanticore]

As well as to be used against India in war. Thank you America! You guys are such great friends!

We are paying for it not just for countering America's Enemies. We will use these Helos against who ever will pose threat to our Sovereignty be it TTP, Al-Qaeda or India.
Come back to your senses now.

The State Department has approved Pakistan’s request to buy almost $1 billion in U.S.-made attack helicopters, missiles and other equipment aimed at fighting insurgents in the country’s mountainous north and west regions.

U.S. defense companies are engaged in a three-way tussle with Russia and China to sell weapons to Pakistan, complicated by the need to avoid upsetting neighbor India and its even larger arms’ import market.

The Pentagon said Monday that Pakistan had requested 15 AH-1Z Viper helicopters made by the Bell arm of Textron Inc., as well as 1,000 Hellfire missiles produced by Lockheed Martin Corp. and a host of other communications and training equipment with a total value of $952 million, according to a notification to Congress, which needs to approve any sale.

Any deal would be structured as a foreign military sale between the two governments.

“This proposed sale of helicopters and weapon systems will provide Pakistan with military capabilities in support of its counterterrorism and counterinsurgency operations in South Asia,” said the Defense Security Cooperation Agency, which oversees U.S. military exports.

Is this deal canceled? Its been a while since we heard any news.

I am always surprised to see PA buying full package of weapons + spares.keeping future in their minds.

This trend started after the F-16 saga and the Pressler Amendment. Now, during any deal, the Pakistani military keeps at least 5 years or spares, etc in their inventory in case there are sanctions, so that they have enough time to buy and induct something else.

Is this deal canceled? Its been a while since we heard any news.

The United States Congress is given 30 days to object to any deal or ask for clarification or impose laws to cancel any deal. If no actions is taken, the deal is automatically passed. So these systems should now be under manufacturing as the Cobras have some new upgrades specific to the Pakistani needs. I think delivery starts from 2017-2018.
