Are the Mi-35s PA ordered be using the older TV3-117VMA or its newer development, VK-2500?

Having some components commonality doesn't make them the same however, and they will still have their own logistical chain. That is why one costs 3X as much as the other.

Still a pointless purchase and that too in such small numbers as to be completely useless imo.

 

[Bilal Khan (Quwa)]

The mi series helicopters have a single manufacturer , engine , several internal components, probably even the fabric for the seats.
They don't have different engines , radars, electronics. Mi35 is essentially a remodelled attack mi17, the f15 and 16 are poles apart

With helicopters in general, once you standardize the engine, rotor parts, dynamic parts, flight control system and electronics, you're basically left with differences in the airframe. But the majority of your maintenance will be in relation to the engine and dynamic parts.

There were rumors PAA will get upto a 20-40 of Mi35s. So let's see what happens

Mi-35M, i.e., the variant PA acquired uses Klimov VK-2500 turboshaft engines.

Speaking at the IQPC Military Helicopter conference in London, the commander of Pakistan Army Aviation, Major General Nasir D Shah, said that a number of platform options are being considered to augment its current Bell AH-1 Cobras, its already arrived and soon-to-be inducted Mil Mi-35s, and its soon to be delivered Bell AH-1Z Viper platforms.

Shephard also spoke to John Woodbery, Bell Helicopter’s military programme director for Asia, who highlighted the appeal of the AH-1Z and UH-1Y thanks to their marinised nature. He said there was ‘healthy interest’ in the AH-1Z, as well as ‘a lot of promise in the Asia-Pacific region’ for the Viper/Venom combination.

Bell Helicopter did ‘not know’ what impact President Donald Trump’s embargo against Pakistan might have regarding the delivery of Vipers, but production continues unabated for the Pakistan order.

Speaking to FlightGlobal at the Singapore airshow, TAI's vice-president of corporate marketing and communications Tamer Ozmen, says that the company is in "advanced discussions" with Pakistan for the T129

Ozmen says that the T129 would appeal to potential operators in Asia-Pacific given how the platform has proven itself at home and in Syria against terrorist threats.

He adds that Pakistan's interest in the T129 was due to the company also having proven in tests that the platform was able to "excel in hot and high conditions" of 52˚C (126˚F) and at 14,000ft.

Soon to be means not delivered so far.

It says "its already arrived and soon to be inducted Mi-35s". Pretty obvious from the statement that these have arrived.
Also mentions the vipers and call them as "soon to be delivered" so one can see the difference here as well.

 

[BHarwana]

Mi35m were delivered to Pakistan in August 2017
