I suspect that Pakistan is aiming to go for a Hi-Low mix. The price includes more than just vipers. They include 30 engines, 1000 hellfire IIs, 66 months of training and logistical support, ferry costs. There are many other things that i missed. Point being, it's a very competitive price. Even with that price, Pakistan still can't afford many of them, so I think majority of our choppers will have to be either Z-10 or T-129, I was reading someones post on this thread that even Turkey has offered 3 T-129's for free to undergo trials in Pakistan. Let's see how it works out.
Is there any difference between A-129 and T-129?
Overal its better in every aspect. Better engines, more maneuverable, better avionics, higher service ceiling, longer range, faster and etc. The T-129 will also have MMW Radar similair to Longbow of the Apache from what i know.
