there seem to be 2 issues with this report.
1. combat helos are operated by army. there is no mention of army.
2. i can understand why PAF officials would visit turkey as kamra is the only production facility where these helos can be assembled / co-produced.
3. if a deal is made, would a NOC from the US be forthcoming for the engine?

Halos are the best assets for War on Terror and both Pakistan and US recognize it. I guess if US has reservations on selling US based tech, engines would be least of the risky ones.

yes we do, but not with "strings"

Pakistan is considering to purchase more F-16 Block 52 strings.

Not just the Block 52 but any used F-16s available in the market. ACM himself said that he is looking to boost Falcon fleet beyond 100.

NS and RTE are very keen to make this deal the "cornerstone" of the Pak-Turk Strategic Partnership, the Turks are willing to give certain cast iron guarantees regarding the future technical and spare part support, that our side are wanting.

This deal would not preclude the rejection of the Z-10 which can also be purchased as part of the diversification of our assets as in the AWAC deal.

Negotiations have gone quite far, with the technical requirements of the PA and PAF Kamra officials (maintenance and possible assembly) taking part.

The Turks have even given our experienced Cobra pilots presentation and test flight.

The Turks are also willing to give finance on the deal.

That would be brilliant! Both the T-129 and Z-10 in our armoury, both lovely helicopters. Then use them against the inhuman TTP and give them a one way ticket to hell.

Like I said, the deal isn't dead (due to induction of Fennecs).

"Primer Minister Pakistan along with delegation of PAC Kamra visited Turkish Aerospace Industries to witness demonstration of T-129 Advance Attack and Tactical Reconnaissance Helicopters. T-129 has two versions. T-129A is the “combat support” version capable of carrying 500 ea 20mm gun rounds and up to 76 guided or unguided 2.75” rockets. T-129B is the “multi-role” version equipped with the leading edge electronic warfare systems and capable to carry a payload of 8 anti-tank missiles, 12 guided 2.75” rockets, 2 air-to-air missiles and 500 rounds"
