its indeed a great platform but pak army should pretend shortness of funds, as buying Zulu at this cost(as expensive than f-16s) completely negates that thought. and as with most us equipment shouldn't expect any offsets or ToT
The AH-1Z's cost is at-par with the attack helicopter market. In fact, the $40-45 million unit price includes the flyaway cost of the aircraft and the support package (the F-16 Block-52 costs $80 million all-in). I think the T-129 would actually cost more since it has less quantitative scale.
There are other costs too.
Don't worry we have @Horus and he will handle @The Eaglebhai source post kerde warna @The Eagle aa jaye ga
On Topic this is awesome News,4 Mi-35M will be coming soon,
Relax bro!, it was a joke and check eagle head on Horus
Ideally, the PA should stick to more Zulus and one more platform.
T129 still facing third party engine export license . As of last week, only 20 T129 delivered to Turkish armed forces. Instead of buying engine from US/UK for T129, its better to go for more direct US make. Politically , after political and regional turmoil, no one knows Turkish standing in NATO or arm trade with Western exporters.
Bhai qaroon ka khazana hath lag gya hai kya, kuch to khuda ka khauf karo
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
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

If only the Turks could go for Safran as the engine
and may be then you can change your profile name from AZADPAKISTAN to AMEERPAKISTAN!! (See how i deliberately skipped the part which mentions the year
)
Sir although we have to replace 60 Cobras but now I think we may opt for lot more attack helicopters and Z-10 have been sent back so I doubt they should come and yes 60 T-129 should come or may be even few more. Also out of those 60 only 24 should be brought from Turkey others should be produced in Pakistan.
As I said PAA guy said me that the need is minimum 120 and that's the minimum , Now they want to cover whole Pakistan and COIN war , Pakistan may go for 3 reaming one this year (after receiving and checking 3 coming) and we may see one more order of 15 AH from USA.
