I have a gut feeling (i.e. baseless opinion) that in 2017 we might hear talk of updating the PAA's transport and utility helicopter fleet.
In the past year, the MoDP told Romania that it was interested in Puma helicopters, but the only Puma program in place in Romania is the Airbus Helicopters H215 Super Puma program.
The Super Puma is a low-cost simplified version of the Cougar and Caracal, the expected flyaway unit cost is in the $10-15m range. The lift capability of the Super Puma is comparable to that of the Mi-17.
Elsewhere, the Turks will also be gearing up for the local production of the S-70 Black Hawk, for which they have export licenses (aimed at countries with 'not so good ties with the U.S.'). The flyaway unit cost of the S-70i, a simplified export version of the Black Hawk platform, is in the $10-15m range as well.
Interesting note ... the S-70's GE turboshaft engine is from the same direct family as the GE turboshaft engine used on the AH-1Z Viper. I think a mix of new and used/surplus Black Hawks could be possible area of discussion.
According to Usman Shabir PDF PAA pilots who flying these Z10 Helis at the moment they r very happy with Avionics and payload plus there is no Engine power issue at all According to pilot its a fantactic machine to fly .

No Mohamad Usman talked about issues and so far performance of Heli there were alot of tidbits about engine Usman said what been told by pilot currently flying this newbie .And what are they comparing it to?
They are probably used to flying cobras, anything is a "fastastic machine" compare to that bird.
Wait till the Zulus start arriving. That would be a good comparison
