My friend Russian Gunships pack serious punch and you cannot speak about them as "Number Filling" Option. Kamov KA-52 Alligator and Mil Mi-28 Havoc are amoung the best Gunships of the world. And Mil Mi-35 Hind have advantage of troops carrying along with Firepower for special ops. I would definitely prefer Kamov K-52 or atleast Mil Mi 28 Havoc over unProven T-129 or Z10 of Russians offer it to us.The Atak will be the default attack helicopter of the Pakistani Army.
The MI-35 or Mi-28 will be used to shore up numbers and involved in CAS against insurgents on the border.

Jani cheez to achi ha T129 parantoo engine ki sanction ha...bagar engine ka helicopter kesa laga gaa ?. Ameriki sarkar na third party agreement abhe sign nahi kia...The MI-24 has been proven. The above models have seen limited engagements and seeing the damage that Pro-Russian insurgents are doing to their "parent" model, I have my reservations.
The T-129 is not "unproven" bro. It has seen action in Afghanistan (A-129) plenty and not been shot down.....
The T-129 is superior to any Russian machine and nearly on par with the Apache.
So, it certainly is not that attractive a choice IMO.Considering that few of the problems with the dual-role Hind have prompted the development of the Mi-28 and Kamov Ka-50 to replace its role as a gunship.Combat experience quickly demonstrated the disadvantages of having a Mi-24 carrying troops. Gunship crews found the soldiers a concern and a distraction while being shot at, and preferred to fly lightly loaded anyway, especially given their operations from high ground altitudes in Afghanistan. Mi-24 troop compartment armour was often removed to reduce weight. Troops would be carried in Mi-8 helicopters while the Mi-24s provided fire support.
Note the weapon management screen to the far left shows three wing pylons under each wing plus the cannon as a circle with a link to show ammo load.
After negotiating Apache , Indian should worry about Mi28N , because MI28N is not mature product. Apache is now field tested and showed good performance .Was about time....sale of mi35s wont ruffle any feathers in india.
Mi28N..not sure

MOSCOW, June 04. /ITAR-TASS/. Russia is negotiating MI-35 helicopter supplies to Pakistan, the Russian Foreign Ministry said on Wednesday.
Russia and Pakistan cooperate in resisting new challenges and threats as active participants in the international anti-terrorist coalition, the Foreign Ministry said. Contrary to some media reports, Russia had never introduced embargo on weapon supplies to Pakistan, it added.
Helicopter supplies are part of the Russian assistance in strengthening Islamabad’s anti-terrorist and anti-drug potential. Similar equipment was supplied earlier, as military cooperation with Pakistan started back in the 1960s.
Russia-Pakistan contacts in this field posed no threat to the existing strategic military balance in the region and were not aimed against the third countries, the Foreign Ministry said.
Seem like china's efforts to bring Pakistan and Russia closer are proving to be effectiveIt seems China is the guarantor of this deal. And Chinese know well how to cut deal with Russian .
But anyway this deal is now endorse by Russian state news agency.
