[Dazzler]

doubt it since its in Turkish camo

Should it not sport a Turkish flag instead of P5 in that case, like other helos around?

@fatman17, @Windjammer

such activities can take place, no restrictions but TAI has still not received NOC for the US engine which powers the helo.

Mete Yarar, an ex Special Ops officer, is quite an insider guy and close to the government!!! His media presentations as a security analyst is highly popular among the common folks for he simplifies the technical stuffs quite nicely....

Considering current threats and country on verge of war Pakistan should look for WZ10 option again as times are desperate, our defense analysts should analyse and if AH1z not feasible then for time being should go for improved WZ10s our future attack helicopter fleet may constitute two types.

Is there no way for both countries to look for other options when it comes to engines? Can Pakistan not consult Safran (Poland) to see if they can provide an alternate? We do need gunships rather quickly.

They can upgrade it as much as they want but the engine is and remains the problem. Their performance was lacking in hot and high conditions.

Z-10ME incorporates a new, higher-output turboshaft 1200 kW engine compared with the Z-10's 935 kW.
