Most new weapons won't come with CSF that is the issue. And yes they have best technology but they can block spare parts on most crucial times.
I have read at many places that in 90s Pakistan managed to get F16 spares from other channels as at one point their supply was totally stopped by USA, though at limited level just keep sufficient jets in flying condition. Now situation is different and we can keep our F16s and Zulus operational even after sanctions by USA,

If I'm not mistaken it was isreal that supplied parts through a 3rd party.

Slightly disappointed that apaches arent coming but I guess Z10ME, zulus and Mi-35 in good numbers will do the job.

If I'm not mistaken Mi-28 was also pitched to Pakistan.
Yes MI 28 was offered along with BUK M3 and PANTSIR and TOR Air Defence systems. In fact Russian delegation gave whole briefing on these weapons way back at IDEAS 2016

But only pantsir was bought right?
From Russia Pakistan is buying lot of weapons secretly and we only get to know about them when they are inducted and shown in some exercise or yearly procurement book. Yes PANTSIR are coming MI 35 five of them also on order. We also bought a Anti Tank system from Russia. But personally I would love to see Pakistan getting this beast

Pakistan needs to sack HIT. They are the opposite of Kamra and I'm disappointed in kamra too. HIT has failed to produce anything useful and in great numbers thus far. (Tanks dont count)

Our soldiers are dropping like flies on the frontiers and HIT and POF are twiddling their thumbs. No serious production of MRAPS, weapon systems for those (should be POFs responsibility) or any other protected vehicles.

Regarding the Mi28, then I believe it should be a good addition. It will fill the heavy requirements

Israel Aircraft Industries via a shell company in Europe, was the primary supplier. They charged 300%.
Haha figures Israeli will be involved.

It was Israel that actually provided Iran with weapons in the famous Iran-Contra scandal.

The recently revealed documents deal with an operation dubbed "Tipped Kettle," involving weapons the Israel Defense Forces looted from the Palestine Liberation Organization during Operation Peace for Galilee in Lebanon, and their transfer to the Contras - opponents of the socialistic Sandinista regime in Nicaragua. That was the first episode, of rather questionable legality according to U.S. law, in a more complex story whose second installment, in 1985-1986, became known as the Iran-Contra scandal. Part II was patently illegal - a blatant effort by the White House to violate a Congressional order and to cook up a strange deal involving the sale of American weapons (originally supplied to the IDF ) to anti-American Iran, for use in its war with Iraq; the release of Western hostages being held in Lebanon by Iranian-controlled Hezbollah; and the financing of Contras' activities thanks to the difference between the sum paid by the Iranians and the true value of the weapons - minus a profit for those engaged in the deal.

Where would you utilize it? How does it fit in with PA's defensive or offensive doctrine? what role would it play? Why is it a beast? What's so special about it?
