@HRK @fatman17

What's the status of our AH-1 Cobra fleet? Remaining service life? Any replacement or upgradation plans that you're aware of?

We've ordered 15 AH1ZS with Hellfire AGMs

they are still here being evaluated and will be inducted because the cobras in PAA inventory are slowly being phased out.Over priced Zulus and big target mi 35 are not the answer.

Are you talking about AH-1S/F?

Do you think that it will be a good idea to upgrade a few with modern avionics, mission computer/cockpit/MFDs, HMDs etc and keep them for COIN operations?

Just my opinion, but I think the PAA will probably induct a few additional AH-1Z. There's no point in spending all that money in setting up the infrastructure for the Viper if one isn't going to build upon it. I think the PAA as a good idea of what the Z-10 is capable of, but it may prefer waiting for the WZ16 turboshaft, which will enable the Z-10 to perform much better. Alternatively, the WZ16 could also result in a scaled-up Z-10, i.e. something more comparable to the AH-64, which is something that will certainly interest the PAA.

have they completed their trails or did it fail or something?
or are they just waiting for wz-16 engine
as quwa said it quiet likely your getting more zulu's as 15 is too low number to justify having.

I'm quite certain there will be a repeat order after 15 Super Cobras are delivered by end 2018.
