Pakistan to buy Chinese attack helicopters if Turkey and US fail to deliver
by Gareth Jennings



Pakistan will procure the Chinese-built Z-10 attack helicopter if Turkey and the United States fail to deliver on their orders of the T-129 and AH-1Z respectively, a senior offer said on 26 February.

Speaking at the IQPC International Military Helicopter conference in London, the commander of Pakistan’s Army Aviation, Major General Syed Najeeb Ahmed, said that the Changhe Aircraft Industries Corporation (CAIC) Z-10ME “remains an option” if the Turkish Aerospace T-129 and Bell AH-1Z Viper prove to be unobtainable for different reasons.

The Pakistan Army has a pressing need to replace its 32 ageing Bell AH-1 Cobra helicopters that have been in service for more than 30 years, with Gen Ahmed’s predecessor, Major General Nasir D Shah, telling Jane’s and other defence media in January 2018, “The AH-1 helicopters have provided effective close support for our ground forces engaged in counterinsurgency [COIN] operations, but they cannot be employed effectively in high-altitude operations above 8,000 ft.”

In the near-term, the army partially offset these limitations with the four Mil Mi-35s that it ordered from Russian some years ago, and which were delivered to the country in late 2017. Further to the Mi-35s, it evaluated the AH-1Z, T-129, and the Z-10 attack helicopters.

In January 2016 it was announced that Bell had been awarded a contract for 12 AH-1Zs, and in April 2017 Jane’s

Please mods, make sure Defence.pk does not become Evening Special tabloid. People come here and spread rumors. This is seriously damaging this forum's reputation.

I don’t know if choppers are there or not but there are many other threads I don’t even bother clicking because I don’t agree with what they are discussing.


why close this?

If you don’t like what is being discussed then just ignore it and move on.

Someone from Indian OSINT circle tweeted this. I would take it with a healthy pinch of salt though since it serves their cause if they peddle fake news in this regard.

How will the arrival of a small number of AH-1Zs scare India? Especially when these birds will be used primarily for COIN ops?

So why cry than? Should i start posting the number of times India went to Papa Sam to protest?

I am very confused about this rumour. When I see the replies of respected journalists and most reliable sources I feel like all of this fuss is untrue. But when I see the replies from @Blacklight and @Tps43 I feel assured that cobras are coming.
I donno when I will come out of this dilemma.

Just a call sign, proves nothing. Least of all an Indian OSINT wannabe.
