Next requirement for PAA is to employ an EW UAV to jam enemy communications and help over come enemy mobile SAM and other AD systems.

Does PAC or Rebuild factory have capabilities to come with an indigenous upgrade that brings Ah1s to modern standards or beyond like what US has done with F16/16V block 60/70 etc.

Turkey does things like that too. Indigenously upgrade weapons bought from Al-Amerikiyoona

Asset under V-Corps Command.



They still have potential for more upgrades

Approval key to T129 export plan Turkish Aerospace is waiting on the outcome of an export licence application linked to a planned sale of 30 T129 attack helicopters to Pakistan, with approvals required for their US-sourced LHTEC CTS800 engines. “As soon as a licence is approved, which is in process right now, we will deliver immediately to Pakistan,” a Turkish official told FlightGlobal at the IDEF exhibition in Istanbul.
The airframer says it has delivered 45 examples of the T129 – a locally produced development of the Leonardo Helicopters AW129 – to the Turkish armed forces, from a firm order for 83.

Hi so at the moment Z10 is the best option for Pakistan without any strings and approvals from any third country in between this deal and offcourse can have latest upgrades as when they are available for this helicopter as Chinese are evolving it month by month time
Thank you

US part of the deal providing 20 airworthy and 20 for spares ah-1 s in 2010ish, Jordanian plus some provided by US made 20 airworthy and rest spares were actually ah-1 with all wiring cut but still airworthy

I think paa along with pac did pilot to develop wiring and bring additional airworthy to replace attrition or any airframe which needed replacement current strength should be 30 plus in 3 sqn and some spares as well since total airframe equal 60 minus attrition
