The Z-10ME-02 helicopter was officially delivered from China to Pakistan on August 2. These helicopters were included in the Pakistan Army Aviation Corps (PAA) at the ceremony held on the Multan Army Aviation Base. On this occasion, Pakistan’s Field Marshal Syed Asim Munir presided over it and saw the live performance of these helicopters.

After getting new helicopters from China, Pakistan has retired its decades-old Bell AH-1F/S Cobra helicopters and has now chosen the way to adopt technically advanced Chinese attack helicopters. However, this decision seems to be taken under political pressure instead of technical performance as the previous Z-10 performance was not satisfactory and Pakistan officials sent these helicopters back for testing.

What are the characteristics of Z-10ME-02?

The Z-10ME-02 is a double engine attack helicopter which has been prepared by China’s Changhe Aircraft Industries Corporation (CAIC). It weighs 7.2 tonnes and can lift a payload up to 1500 kg. The length is 14.2 meters and can be equipped with a variety of missiles and rockets. It has anti-tank guided missile, laser-guided rocket, air-to-air missile, miniature cruise missile (CM-501X) and NLOS (non-line of site) capacity.

This helicopter has advanced electronic systems such as engine intake filtration system, ceramic armor plating, advanced defensive ad suit and missile alert and electronic jamming system. Its purpose is to make an accurate strike while keeping itself safe from the enemy’s air defense system.

PAK first rejected Z-10 and why now adopted?

In 2021, when China gave three Z-10 to Pakistan for testing, they were rejected due to lack of performance, but now accepting the same helicopters as an upgraded version shows that Pakistan went to this option under compulsion after the US and Turkish options failed. Ah-1Z VIPer from the US and T129B ATAK from Türkiye could not be due to US sanctions, causing Pakistan to look towards China.

India has indigenous LCH Prachanda and Apache Ah-64E

India is already ready with two major attack helicopters. LCH Prachanda (Swadeshi), which is designed for operation in altitude areas. It is light and more maneuverable. It can be deployed in areas like Kargil. The second is American Apache AH-64e Guardian. It is one of the most advanced attack helicopters in the world. It weighs 10.4 tons and has a 2500 kg payload capacity. It is equipped with Helphier missile, 30mm chain guns, longbo radars. In terms of technical and reliability, the Z-10M-02 is behind the Apache. Especially from the perspective of sensor, range, payload and Prauvan track records.

Will this change the power balance?

The deployment of Z-10ME-02 definitely increases the firepower of Pakistan’s army, but it does not stay equivalent to platforms like Apache and LCH Prachanda in India. India already has tested helicopters in high altitude areas and used in successful operations. Apart from this, India’s helicopter is also taking steps towards self -sufficiency in technology, which will give it long -term strategic benefits.

The Indian Army has now received the first batch of Apache AH-64E fighter helicopter, which has been posted on Jodhpur Airbase in Rajasthan. Earlier, these helicopters were only with the Indian Air Force. Now the Army has gained the ability to react to a fiery borders by the deployment of these powerful helicopters.

The deployment of these helicopters has the ability to change India’s strategic strategy. This decision underlines that the Indian Army is now moving towards multi-domain operations, where the synergy between the Army and the Air Force is very important.

Equipped with advanced sensor and night vision system
The biggest feature of Apache helicopter is its advanced sensor system. It has night vision and thermal imaging sensors, which can identify the enemy accurately even in the dark and bad weather of the night. Its Target Acquisition System and Pilot Night Vision Sensor (PNVs) also gives the pilot the capacity of accurate attack in low visibility.

This helicopter can attack 16 different goals by locking 128 targets in a minute. Its multi-target environment capacity makes it extremely useful in crowded battlefields.

Flight capabilities
The maximum speed of Apache helicopter ranges from 280 to 365 km/h. In addition, it can fly for 3.5 hours at a time and goes up to 500 km at the operational range (even more with the outer fuel tank). This means that it can patrol and attack long distances.

Drone control and network-ported warfare
The Apache helicopter can control drones like MQ-1C gray eagle, which begins a new era of human-masine teaming (mum-t). With its sensor and radar system, it is also efficient in reconnaissance missions.

Multi domain coordination
The design of this helicopter makes it ideal for multi-domain operations. It can work together in ground strike, air defense and Ricon missions.

Capacity and Bakhtarbandi of two pilots
This helicopter is designed for two pilots, one for flight operations and another for weapon control. Its empty weight is 6,838 kg and the maximum take-off weight is 10,433 kg. It has also been equipped with armor to protect against small arms, bullets and ballistic missiles.

A major delivery of the aggressive capacity of the Indian Army and a tremendous lead to reconnaissance campaigns is going to take place on July 21. On this day, India is going to get the first batch of Apache AH-64E from America. According to sources associated with defense and security establishments, these helicopters will be deployed on the Pakistan border, which will increase the ability of accurate and effective attack on the enemy manifold.

Hindon will land on the airbase ‘Tanks in the Air’

These advanced helicopters, popularly known as ‘Tanx in the Air’, will land at Hindon Air Force Station of the Indian Air Force. Earlier in 2023, the army’s first Apache squadron was formed in Jodhpur, but their deployment was repeatedly postponed due to obstruction in the global supply chain and geopolitical changes. Currently, two Apache squadron of the Indian Air Force is already active. One in Pathankot and the other in Jorhat.

First deal was done in 2015, second during Trump’s visit

India made the first deal of 22 Apache helicopters with the US and Boeing in 2015, which was completed in July 2020. This was followed by a $ 600 million deal signed in 2020 during the then US President Donald Trump’s visit to India, under which 6 Apache helicopters were purchased for the army. Their delivery was to be held between May-June 2024, but it was delayed.

Apache is also being made in India from Tata-Boing Joint Venture

In 2023, the first helicopter to the Army in Hyderabad Tata-Boeing Aerospace Ltd. Was met, which was a big step under Make-in-India.

The enemy is hidden anywhere, the apache will remain infallible

Apache helicopters are equipped with modern targeting systems, which provide accurate data in every season. These include night vision navigation systems, latest communication, sensors, navigation and arms systems, which increase the military’s firepower manifold. The world’s most dangerous Apache helicopter can create 128 perfect targets in a minute, while it also has a night vision sensor, which can attack it at night. Pakistan will sleep as soon as this helicopter joins the Indian Army.
