To be fair there was always some chatter around this topic and this thread is proof of it. There isn't a doubt if PAA will induct it but rather a question of when

Based on what exactly? Whenever there is some big deliveries theres a lot of chatter by establishment linked accounts I don't know why they would be quite here?

They are all talking who said they are quite. These things are not done through media but defence buffs on social media they are talking about it.
 
IMO. There is probably a 90% chance that Pakistan will not buy the Z-10ME helicopter gunship.

1. A number of recent wars have shown that the role of the specialized helicopter gunship has been significantly reduced. The threat it faces on the battlefield is higher than ever before.
2. UCAVs have been able to fully replace many important roles of manned specialized helicopter gunships on many levels. Large unmanned helicopters have also emerged.
3, China's more advanced specialized helicopter gunship, the Z-21, has emerged. Pakistan's need for the Z-10ME is not particularly urgent, and it could have waited until the Z-21 matured to buy it directly.

Pakistan is looking at purchase of Z-10s through the lens of counter insurgency, Pakistans current fleet of cobras is obsolete, having a platform that can provide close air support is still very important in a counter insurgency situation.

Why spend 17 mil on a COIN platform when a 2 mil drone can do the job just as fine.

The Z-10ME can carry 16 guided munitions plus a main cannon and can hover close the the ground constantly providing air support, a TB-2 carries 2 smart munitions, they are ok for precision strikes but can never match the Close Air support value a attack helicopter provides.

Totally Fake news - for the induction of a brand new type into service, there would be some VIP ceremony with the usual VIP protocol theatrics and after induction feasting, etc..

The ceremony is not done when the first one arrives in a cargo plane in this case in middle of the night. Ceremony is done when a substantial number are there and formally inducted into a squadron. There will be official news soon.

UCAV is a better choice! This is one of the choices.
