Bell will Deliver Three(3) AH-Z in 2017 Remaining 9 in 2018 :Alan Warner

[AZADPAKISTAN2009]

50 - Z-10 (Chinese GunShip) [On going purchase / enhancement]
50 - T-129 (Turkish Gunship platform) [On going purchase / enhancement]
50 - Mi-35 (Russian Armored GunShip) [On going purchase / enhancement]
25 -50, Agosta Westland for SSG [On going purchase / enhancement]

Sufficient long term goal to develop a strategic depth for Armed forces against Terrorism

Much easier to order and recieve necessary items

The cobra Gunships do help with modernization effort of Pakistan's Aviation fleet. So certainly a welcomed addition

15-30 Cobra (Vipers) - Fill Gap Specialist Units

The country had ordered 12 rotorcraft and the rest is expected to be in the country next year.

Nate Green added that his company is looking forward to clinching a second H-1 helicopter export contract within two months.

I hope we do. We need to maintain mi35 and cobra fleet. Atak or z10 do not bring anything new to the table.

I think we might buy around 30 in total.

I think so as well. It would be interesting if they scale the AH-1Z's GE T700 turboshaft infrastructure to include other helicopters powered by the same engine, e.g. S-70, AW101, NH-90, etc.

Well let's hope we buy 30 of these and at 70 to 90 of T-129 or which ever attack helicopter we use

When Pakistan decides to import arms from the US again

Sadly USA still has best weapons on face of the earth

AH-1Z will be a better option for Pakistan. US technology is superior and battle hardened.

 

[AZADPAKISTAN2009]

T-129/ Z-10 is the way forward this cobra/python/ caterpiller is all steps backward the quantity is not sufficient for any reasonable operation or Military improvement

Not really greatly excited

Need local production seek cooperation with Turkey or South Africa or China start moving away from US items , nothing special if the helicopter can carry 2-3 more missile load then other helicopter we need a depandable nation to work with

If Chinese copter can do 280km.hr and this Cobra Shobra does 300 km /hr give me Chinese helicopter armed with plenty of Missiles

Z-10 / T-129 is sufficient for need if we were in business of racing helicopters in a aireal race yeah the Zulu would be interesting bird

Get 100 Z-100 AND 50 T-129 , what we need from defensive prespective and get off the American weapon drug

I hope we do. We need to maintain mi35 and cobra fleet. Atak or z10 do not bring anything new to the table.

Rather have 150 Z-10 and 50 T-129 and 20-30 Anti aircraft Weapons then few handful of 3 Cobra Zulu or what ever crap its called, quite idiotic to wait 6-7 years for delivery of 3 helicopter from USA

 

[Thorough Pro]

You just did again what I just referred to in another thread. We bought 12 dedicated attack helos after 32 years of buying 20 AH-1S Cobras in 1984, and in single breath you want to buy 30 more of Zulu's + 90 T-129's?

Do you know the difference between Reality and what ever that world is where you live in?

Well let's hope we buy 30 of these and at 70 to 90 of T-129 or which ever attack helicopter we use


Sadly USA still has best weapons on face of the earth

Yes but most battle hardened is Russian Mi 24/35 hinds .Russian stuff is best cheap easy to maintain not fancy but deadly plus its prettymuch at par with Americans tech wise .

Just out of curiosity , I keep hearing the Apache has a radar (Long bow) , what other platforms have a similar solution ?

We normally never mention or discuss that aspect of the Choppers

Or which platform offers a better resistance to some of the emerging tech in hands of rouge elements or make shift enemies

Millimetric wave (mmW) radar. It is basically a type of synthetic aperture radar (SAR) for ground mapping and ground moving target indication (GMTI). You can use mmW radars to track and target tanks and armoured vehicles, and with a mmW-tipped missile (e.g. Brimstone), attack them. The Apache has the AN/APG-78, but there's a similar one based on the AN/APG-78 under development for the AH-1Z. Can't say if Pakistan would get it or not.
