Hmmm, so sad :(, If we get 1 or 2 Sqd of these then it will be a great threat for our enemies.

You need to have 2 things to buy something. Firstly money and secondly a willing seller. The first can influence the second to some extent however, international policies determine which weapons are sold to whom. In this case you have neither the first and on that account the second.

I personally dont fully agree with you in this case because Russia is bit flexible but yes we need to have hard cash to make it materialize otherwise its just a discussion on coffee table..

Should Pakistan Army Aviation rethink getting an attack helicopter altogether? Instead go for an A-10 type?

Here is an interesting view:
But the larger question confronting Schoomaker, Rumsfeld, and others in the defense establishment, including members of Congress, is whether the guerrilla war in Iraq is demonstrating that no helicopter, regardless of how fancy, can survive on today's battlefields.

With a weapon not much more sophisticated than a hand grenade shot out of a peashooter, guerrillas in Iraq have damaged and downed the Army's most advanced attack helicopter, the Longbow Apache, as well as simpler troop transports such as the Chinooks and Blackhawks. This vulnerability could have been predicted by anyone who bothered to study the fate of U.S. helicopters in the Vietnam War. Back then, Vietcong and North Vietnamese soldiers not only downed helicopters with the rocket-propelled grenades now threatening helicopters in Iraq. The Vietnamese also learned how to shoot the copters down by simply lying on their backs and grouping their rifle bullets in the path of the slow fliers they could hear coming. If such simple ground fire is so lethal, how can the $59 million Comanche or any other helicopter survive the deadlier shoulder-fired anti-aircraft missiles now being sold all around the world?

Pakistan has Armed UCAVs and is in the process of inducting even more advanced versions. So for its needs doesnt need a dedicated aircraft like the A-10. PAF doctrine dictates that all new fighter jet inductions be multi role capable.

For the sake of Taliban yes UCAV is better option but if you look towards India's cold start Doctrine its the best platform which can give a blow under a jaw...
 
Proof of MI-35-M helicopters delivery to Pakistan. As previously few members disagreed with the info here is another update on the issue.

"Last year, we handed four Mil Mi-35M combat and cargo helicopters over to our partners," he went on to say. "I am sure that they have been in demand as far as counterterrorism operations go, as our colleagues told us today," the Russian foreign minister noted.

These are the words of Russian foreign minister.
