Pakistan Adds Chinese Attack Helicopters to Upgrade Aging Fleet
Pakistan has officially added a new Chinese attack helicopter to its military arsenal — the Z-10ME — a similar model to the one China uses to patrol its border with India. The Pakistan Army Aviation Corps held an induction ceremony on Saturday, calling the helicopters a 'state-of-the-art, all-weather platform' capable of precision strikes both day and night. They didn't disclose how many helicopters were acquired, but said the aircraft is equipped with advanced radar and electronic warfare systems.

Will Chinese Z-10ME attack helicopters now power Pakistan air force?
Images circulating online suggest Pakistan's military has received a shipment of Chinese-made advanced attack helicopters, a version of which has been deployed by the People's Liberation Army (PLA) near China's mountainous border with India In the past week, photos and videos of the Z-10ME , the export version of the Chinese multirole attack helicopter, have appeared on Pakistani social media accounts. On Tuesday, a social media user believed to be an active-duty member of the Pakistan Army uploaded a video clearly showing the helicopter airborne, apparently conducting field airport support missions from a military base. The video was captioned: 'First look at Pakistan's Z-10ME attack helicopter armed with next-gen air-to-ground missiles.' This followed a photo posted on Monday by another user showing a Z-10ME undergoing ground maintenance. The helicopter bore the words 'Pakistan Army' and serial number '786-301' on its fuselage and tail. The image marked the first credible evidence of the Z-10ME's operational status within the Pakistan Army Aviation Corps.
