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,

In 2020 the RD-93MA was sent to the test stand in Russia.

And then we never heard anything about it again. In the meantime the J-35A entered serial production. Supposedly with new Chinese engines.
Thermal test chamber-blackhole!

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.

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
Gun Boat developed under Navy’s indigenization policy, designed by Navy’s Platform Design Wing to boost self-reliance, first of 20 planned.
