More of a liability now to maintain. It would be great if the US sold them at a knockdown price to Pakistan.

Asia-Pacific​

Pakistan has begun accepting Z-10ME attack helicopters from China as part of Islamabad’s tactical rotary-wing fleet modernization effort. The deliveries have not been officially confirmed by either country but have been verified through multiple sources, including images and videos showing the Chinese-made aircraft bearing Pakistan Army insignia.

What happened to 8 or 9 AH-1Zs Pakistan vipers put on storage?

Information from web is .. that's they still in storage.. not handed over to any other party ..

The AH-1Z Viper attack helicopters ordered by Pakistan are still located at the 309th Aerospace Maintenance and Regeneration Group (AMARG) at Davis-Monthan Air Force Base in Arizona..

These helicopters, part of a 2016 contract, were not delivered due to a suspension of US security assistance to Pakistan. A total of nine are stored there, while three others are in an unknown location.

Here's a more detailed breakdown:
  • Contract and Order:
    Pakistan ordered 12 AH-1Z Viper helicopters from the US in 2016.

  • Storage Location:
    The helicopters are stored at AMARG, also known as the "boneyard," at Davis-Monthan AFB in Tucson, Arizona.

  • Reasons for Non-Delivery:
    The US halted security assistance to Pakistan in 2018, leading to the suspension of helicopter deliveries.

  • Current Status:
    As of 2019, all nine Vipers at AMARG were being preserved with protective coatings.

  • Additional Helicopters:
    Three more AH-1Zs, part of the original order, are in an unconfirmed location,

These will be transferred to US Marines in a time of need. That's the beauty of US military from a planning perspective. These are kept in "active reserves" meaning close to new or less than half life used functional equipment, ready to be used in a war.

The embargoed Pakistani F-16's and near 2000 4th and 4.5 generation jets are kept in this category for a WWIII scenario.

Lastly, Pakistan doesn't want to pay even 75% of the price and get into "strings". That money is much better spent on Z-10's and later on some numbers of Z-21's or ATAK's to offset the Apache's. With Z-10, we will truly get an opportunity to create a helo industry in Pakistan like we did with the J-10. In a few years, China will not need them and its manufacturing can be transferred to Pakistan for affordable price.

If we want to establish a helicopter industry then much better to establish something with the Turks, we are going to need replacements for 70-80 helicopters in the near future between the army and navy this a perfect opportunity to negotiate local production.
