ISLAMABAD- The recent decision by the US to suspend security assistance to Pakistan had convinced many in Islamabad that China was a more genuine partner. “[The Chinese] are here to stay and help Pakistan, unlike the Americans, who cannot be trusted.

Pakistan is planning to buy Chinese military helicopters and components for surveillance drones as part of its plan to fortify its border with Afghanistan with a 2,600km-long fence.

Earlier Chinese ambassador to Islamabad said in a recent interview with the *BBC* that militants in Balochistan were no longer a threat to the economic corridor.

One provincial tribal leader said many young men had been persuaded to lay down their weapons by the promise of financial benefits. “Today, young men are not getting attracted to join the insurgents as they did some 10 years ago,” he said. “Many people see prosperity” as a result of the China-Pakistan corridor, he said.

Good move by Pak Army, time to move away from USA and their
weapons. I hope the air force does not go for any more f16s.

The Z-10 is back on?

 

[AZADPAKISTAN2009]

China has made great strides in term of Transport choppers
For Improved Efficiency in what kind of danger we face we need some big boys

Z-10 in my opinion is a no brainer together with T-129 Gunship both are a must to have mix of best tech offering from Euro/Asia & Chinese tech

Z-8B Super Frelon

Super Frelon

z18

These should help provide support in remote areas with ample reinforcement / Troop augmentation and better over all safety

100% Alternative to Chinook platform


China has done well to build up the local capcity quite well

 

[Manidabest]

we have been buying it before and we will continue to buy it as China is our best ever not ally but best friend more like a brother than friend

Can't wait to see these en mass covering the sky's of Pakistan especially the borders and blowing infiltrating terrorists apart...

Intended for use as a surveillance and aerial reconnaissance platform, the Pterodactyl I is capable of being fitted with air-to-surface weapons for use in an unmanned combat aerial vehicle (UCAV) role.[1]Based on official marketing material released by CADI, the Pterodactyl can carry the BA-7 air-to-ground missile, YZ-212 laser-guided bomb, YZ-102A anti-personnel bomb and 50-kilogram LS-6 miniature guided bomb.[3]

Literally copy pasted a few sentences from that report on China paying/talking to Baloch rebels. It's nothing but a generic one sentence off-topic statement from that article.

Times of Islamabad outdo themselves everytime.
