Are the Chinese willing to share any percentage of ToT? Any chance of Pakistan taking baby steps in some part of rotorcraft building?

With China customization is very easy. Secondly, from Z10 to Z10ME was based on the trials conducted in Pak.

For the first batch no, eventually yes.

So if eventually yes...does that put an end to T129? With Z10s forming the bulk of attack helos in PA?

Or is T129 still on the table with T129 and Z10 as light/medium attack helis?

Without going into details, Z10ME is a step ahead of T129.
As of now the engine issue has not been sorted out on the T129. When it gets sorted out, then we'll talk about it.

It is almost impossible for our procurement team to reject China in favor of third party.
Hence whyI never digested T-129 acquisition since day 1.

Z-10 stayed here for too long, and maybe ME is also here, So It is hard to believe that Z-10 won’t be forming the majority of the attack fleet (T-129s might come (IF) in some numbers or may very well not).

inshallah z10 will make bulk of army aviation
