Pakistan has started receiving Z-10ME attack helicopters from China to modernize its rotorcraft fleet. Although the governments haven’t confirmed it, visuals show the choppers with Pakistan Army markings. Pakistan aims to replace its old AH-1F Cobras from the 1980s. A U.S. deal for AH-1Z Vipers fell through due to strained ties, giving China a chance to step in. The Z-10ME deliveries appear to be past the testing phase, marking a strategic defense shift.
