Hi but what good is T129 of USA blocked it’s sale to PAA due to engines been USA so that’s one of the main reason Pakistan evaluate Z10 some time back and ask China to enhance its capabilities which China probably been able to do soTrue but as icloo said the Pakistani army placed a premium on the high-climb rate and maneuverability in high altitudes. T-129 was much better at that because that is mostly about excess engine power. The Z-10 should have become much better because of the increased engine power though.
Turkish local engine is still sometime away from been able to get into T129 for export that’s the reason t129 manufactured for Pakistan with the usa permission been exported to Philippines so Turkish govt won’t be loosing their export order
so only viable choice for PAA is at the moment Z10me or whatever new model is online for export
thank you
