There is still debate within Russia on KA-50/52 Vs Mi-28. On a side by side specs comparison the Mi-28 wins.

Lets just wait and see how the Mi-35s turn out, no need to think ahead. AH-1Z Cobras are still the most capable Gunships of all the options when doing a spec comparison and they will be available in 2015. PA probably is still waiting to rule them out before opting for any of the other Gunships (WZ-10/T-129/Mi-28) so I dont expect PA will confirm its decision for the new Gunship for at least another year.

Pakistan isnt that cash strapped. Its easier to divert funds to personal accounts when spent on development projects thats why the previous and current government diverted funds to development projects. The metro buses, laptops and those failed power plants etc...... are all extravagantly costed.

the pak army won't go for the MI-28 Or KA-52(It has a double rotor and is difficult to maintain). buying an MI-28 Or KA-52 is almost like buying a fighter jet. the maintenance costs would be something pak army won't be able to afford, they'll probably end up getting that turkish chopper or more likely surplus cobras, I doubt they even go for the MI-35(its too heavy and cumbersome)

its the ANF who want the Mi-35 for anti-narcotics / smuggling ops.

This is best for Anti armour mission .... But it can't be used in Counter insurgency roles

Better to go for Mi 28
