Pakistan Army Aviation Corps - Updated

So thats why they had a flypast at Rahwali?

No sure. The staff was trained only recently and i am sure no refurbishment task could have been completed in this time. The fly past must have been more of a routine exercise since these are trainer helicopters and are based in Army aviation School - Rahwali/Gujranwala.

Pakistani Prime Minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi, during his recent visit to Ankara, personally participated in a test flight of a T-129 attack helicopter manufactured by Turkish Aerospace Industries (TAI). Pakistan is thinking of spending $1.5 billion to replace its worn-out Bell AH-1F and AH-1S Cobra attack helicopters with 30 T-129s from Turkey.

Technology transfer from TAI to Pakistan Aeronautical Complex (PAC) would allow for joint production. If Pakistan approves the deal, and it is expected to by July, this will be the biggest single sale made by the Turkish defense industry. Also, Pakistan is closely interested in Hurkus trainer aircraft, also manufactured by TAI, and Anka drones.

Pakistan likely to sign $1.5 Billion T-129 Attack helicopter deal with Turkey by July 2018. It will involve "Transfer of Technology" from TAI to Pakistan Aeronautical Complex (PAC) & will involve "joint production". It will be biggest single sale by Turkish Defence Industry. https://t.co/stKYqNNUoK

Contract negotiations take time.

@Khafee is right

Maybe even later than July 2018. The Government tenure will end on June 5th.
Elections would take 1.5-3 months during which the caretaker government is unlikely to sign such a deal. The new government will assume office by September so you are approaching the end of 2018. I hope it finalizes before election. We are already running late by standards of my patience.

Contract negotiations take time.

Especially with the turks. Very slow.

Italian firm Leonardo is looking for additional partner nations to take part in its new attack helicopter program and successor to Italy’s AW129 Mangusta fleet. To be known as the AW249, the new helicopter is being financed under a $515 million contract awarded by Rome in January of this year which aims to see its 48 Mangusta’s phased out from 2025. But the firm are claiming that the helicopter “is not just for Italy.” Speaking to Flight Global, chief commercial officer Lorenzo Mariani said “It is a basis for collaboration – we believe that other nations can join this project.”

Interesting news since Pakistan has a strong defence collaboration with Italy and Leonardo.
