Pakistan's military procurement official general Kingriwi visiting Turkey's SSM (undersecretariat of the ministry of defence, military procurements and developments office) to get information on Pakistani F16 modernization and T-129 attack helicopter project.

Congratulations Turkey on its attack helicopters program.
If the T-129 ATAK helicopters passes our assessment tests and meets our needs, I think we should go ahead and procure it from Turkey.
Pakistan needs to have a large attack fleet of helicopters (should be greater than 200) especially when factoring our terrain, and the size of our adverseries. Furthermore, other types of helicopters (medium transport) should also be procured as we learned from the October 2005 earthquake the impact of not having enough helicopters. Also, civilian helicopters for our major urban centres/cities would go long ways in helping better police them as well as in better planning urban projects. I think a helicopter manufacturing industry is in need for Pakistan overall.
I also think we should bolster our previous stock of AH-1 Cobra Helicopters; these can be procured from surplus US army supplies for next to nothing if not practically free. We should try to procure them at a regular rate as they have a proven track record and are affordable as well as pack quite a punch for their size!
I do think, that in the interim to long run, we should be manufacturing our own attack as well as transport helicopters(Blackhawks or other) in line with our policy of local manufacturing and indigenization learning from our past experiences and the many sanctions we have been placed under.
Perhaps, maybe we can offer our Turkish brothers our engineering expertise and build a new mod/upgrade of this pre-existing design. Again, congratulations to our Turkish brothers on what looks like a marvelous design.
