Of all the possible new acquisitions, the Ah-1Z will IA be the first ones coming.

12 in the initial batch, which could go up all the way to 24 to 36.


The other ones coming in are the Turkish T129 ATAK

@Khafee you sure about hte ATAK, I mean has the engine issue been sorted out.

What was the reason for not going for Z-10, it has better ceiling than t-129 which is an important factor at LOC

In house rotary system should be developed

would Pakistan be acquiring gunships (AH-1Z and T-129) and transport choppers (Fennec/AW-139 etc) then ?

Sir, AZM is a long term project as you already know.
If that’s the case then it’s a shame that we aren’t pursuing local development

The only option in that regard us working with Turkey on the ATAK 2, T625 and 10 ton Helicopter, and that depends how hard Turkey pesters the Pakistan Army to consider it

No.. there are no interest in developing rotary platform as of now.
It's clear from the recent procurement.
