The MI 17’s should be fitted with unguided rockets, cheap & heavy firepower, good for firing at mountains as well.
Each side can carry 3 = almost 200 rockets.

Our Mi-17's are only used for transport mission, the CAS missions are done by our Hinds and soon also by our A-29's.
I don't know, but neither our government or the US is interested in arming our Mi-17's, although some armed version has been seen, but never used.

But MI 35 numbers are limited.

This is a very cheap solution for firepower, they probably don’t want to give them the firepower as long as US forces are there, they don’t trust others that often, might result in friendly fire

trust is not problem, because our Mi-35's are heavily armed with various upgraded lethal systems.

I don't think there is such a severe lack of CAS that transport helis have to be converted to gunships. Armed Mi-17s are not a great choice. They are slow, bulky and vulnerable to ground fire. I think the Afghan MOD are betting on getting dedicated platforms since the US is paying for it.
On a side-note, there should be more cooperation between the military of Afghanistan and Iraq. Sharing knowledge on counter-IED, Intelligence and counter-terror tactics could be very fruitifull. Both countries are facing terrorists which uses similar techniques to attack our forces.
