Congrats to PAF at RiAT 2025
The Artwork on it shows a datalinked web, I am guessing the plane above the jf17 is the next upgrade called pfx

There is sorta mini-argument going on between various pakistani defense/osint handles on twitter because of the Blurb written for JF17's on RIAT
This picture list more power/thrust and further below says 'improved engine'
People were already speculating that Rd93-MA variant might be being used (or ws13) before this picture came and now seeing this they began posting its rd93-ma now
Then some others said its not updated engine but 'composite materials' and stuff that improved weight issues,

Thermal test chamber-blackhole!
Well this is from Dubai airshow last year
He is from the PAF contingent in civilian clothing saying they will be switching to ws13, so maybe they did start doing that
A little background story of Pakistan's Z-10ME that it is receiving from China.
Pakistan's Z-10ME comes with the TY-90 that is designed specifically for helicopter to helicopter combat. And that missile can datalink with other systems like ground radars and drones. Indian Apaches instead use MANPADS-derived Stingers for helicopter combat.
Ironically the Z-10 was last on Pakistan's list. The AH-1Z, Mi-35, and T129 were ahead. But due to American sanctions (AH-1Z and T-129), and Indian pressure (Mi-35), these attack helicopters were denied to Pakistan. So China upgraded the Z-10 with better engines to suit Pakistan's high-altitude performance demands, and Pakistan finally gets to modernize it's attack helicopter fleet.

Pakistan Military Chief meets Chinese Foreign Minister:
Heli vs Heli fights are still rare, but still good to have esp if it just a 'manpad' type of thing.
And I hope this channel doesnt get wiped out by youtube recent policy of purging 'Chinese propaganda channels' like they wiped out 11K channels according to that recent news report.
Sidenote: Hinds and Ka52's are prob my fav of the attack helis
Oo nice, and work on those submarines too!
Since may someone from either government or military has met Cn officials (in china) and vice-versa
