If this news is true than frankly, not happy as T-129 was an exception helli.
Turkey still requires US export arms license for its engine for it to land in Pakistan. A major hurdle that didnt let the deal materialize yet.
 
Surely, when a deal range of $ 12 to 15 billion ballooned to 20 to 22 then why not.

ya surly why not; even when the deal of this magnitude shrink to size of 36 copies only & still lingering on
 
The loser in this heli war the atak which i really liked

May be we didn't purchase a single or purchase hundreds but it would not make French product non kosher.

Not really...
TAI is developing a new engine for the ATAK T-129 which would be giving it more chance of getting export orders. Pakistan was aware of this at the time ATAK was offered hence they are still considering them.

Pakistan Army Aviation old Cobra's are to be replaced hence the order of 15 AH 1Z's has been given. This order was initially placed in 2000's but at that time it was not possible for the US to give these to Pakistan due to their own requirements. The requirement of PAA is of 60 heli's for the east and 40 for the west. So 15 is just a initial order.
