IMO...mirroring the USMC's approach with the AH-1Z and UH-1Y (with 85%+ parts commonality) would likely suit the PAA the most. Having attack and utility/transport platforms with the same engines, transmission, rotors, and other dynamic parts would enable it to field a large number of helicopters as it'll benefit from a single logistics/maintenance overhead.

Granted, the PA has been putting money towards armor and artillery, so it may have had to steer resources away from aviation. However, it's still odd that there has been absolutely no net-new aviation procurement for nearly a decade (aside from the dropped AH-1Z and T129 orders). It makes me wonder if the PA is genuinely rethinking how it approaches aviation.

It's possible that the PAA could be looking at the common platform approach, especially as more options of that nature emerge, e.g., Z-20/Z-21, T925/T929, or AW249/AH249.
