Z-10 ME/P deliveries Updates: Pakistan Army Aviation.

[Toxic]

Pakistan military has always asked for modifications to the base Chinese models based on their experience with western suites.
A-5
F-6
F-7PG
And now Z-10MP

The Z-10ME was less because of wanting Western suites and more result of field testing.

The Z-10ME was less because of wanting Western suites and more result of field testing.

And actual experience during CT ops with the cobras. Like extra armour plates to protect the pilots etc

It was unveiled in September 2018 that an export version (Z-10ME) has been developed at Changhe with much improved electronics (including new IFF, mast mounted MMW search radar, laser DIRCM turrets on top of stub wings, multiple rectangular shaped laser/UV MAWS/ESM/ECM antennas and PD radar MAWS antennas mounted along the lower fuselage), ceramic armor plate protection, a bigger ammunition magazine in the nose, a new JPX-10D cannon, a new weapons package including CM-502KG ATGM, redesigned engine inlets with particle separators and more powerful engines (WZ-9G? 1,200kw class). So far two prototypes were built. It was reported in February 2020 that Pakistani Army has shown some serious interest in Z-10ME after the Turkish T129 deal was jeopardized. The latest image (July 2025) suggested that the first batch of Z-10ME (as Z-10MP?) in a dark green camouflage has been delivered to Pakistani Army, along with a new generation of ATGMs, which significantly boosts Pakistani Army's anti-armor capability.

Very interesting serial number. 786-301. 786 is usually considered numerical representation of بسم اللہ الرحمن الرحیم

thats one way..

but the way I see it..

$ exchange rate disparity is less relevant now!

if I am USA, I would not be too happy about it. Gives Pak. some room (rather unseen strings are now being stripped off and we can act now 'independently'!)

This guy ATM was my junior in chartered accountancy. His late father was a great & brilliant journalist as well as a professor. This guy IMO has become a hack.
