WZ-19 being tested by Pakistan ?

[Quwa]

The WZ-10 is an excellent machine for facing armoured offensives, but the WZ-19 is a lot more appropriate for lower intensity operations, especially against remnant insurgencies in FATA. Also, PAA could use the WZ-19 in its intended role, i.e. as a scout/reconnaissance helicopter, or perhaps as a secondary laser targeting aircraft to serve alongside other attack helicopters (such as WZ-10), I'd much rather send in the WZ-19 than a Fennec to be honest.

What is the cost difference between the

Z10 Vs WZ-19

The Z10 is a more robust platform, however WZ-19 is also a capable platform so I would eager to know the price differential before recommendations can be made on purchase of the best of two

I personally prefer the Z-10 plaform as it is more rugged and you are also getting a lovely Gun in front for low level Anti Terror raids

But you can also carry Anti Tank missiles on the chopper

Both work like twins compliment each other Z19 like scout Heli compliment Z10 in action

I think WZ-19 should have a machinr gun just like WZ-10 @Deino @Beast

abbot abad operation bring opportunity of stealth technology got hands on it and showcased here that's good reply for Americans.

i think they'll provide/add it according to the customer need don't you think

 

[ACE OF THE AIR]

Many of my friends are telling me that they saw WZ-19 flying over Islamabad. Many from their sources also are telling that one WZ-19 is being tested. I also showed photos of both WZ-19 and WZ-10 to them to get it confirmed which one they saw and friends are insisting they saw WZ-19.

So what is going on ?

If the news is correct then the deal for ATAK's is no longer being considered.

OR

This heli is for MOI.

This heli lacks in fire power even the Z-9's carry more weapons.

The WZ-19 would make for a good replacement of the Fennecs and Jet Rangers in the scouting/reconnaissance, light attack and combat support role. Compared to those helicopters a WZ-19 can carry more and is more survivable. PAA can acquire it to compliment the WZ-10 in larger engagements (e.g. against an actual army), and at the same time, use the WZ-19 for most COIN focused operations in FATA. Armament wise the WZ-19 is right up there, if not better than, the existing set of AH-1F/S.

The upgraded export variant, dubbed the Z-19E, seems to carry the same type of loadout as the Z-10, likely due to an uprated engine:

Idk about that, since Pakistan is buying super cobras already
