The Pakistan Army Aviation Corps (PAA) has officially inducted the Z-10ME-02 attack helicopter, finally turning a page on the PAA’s decade-plus long effort to start replacing its legacy Bell AH-1F/S Cobras.
Following weeks of observer reports, confirmation of the deliveries occurred through several disclosed videos and photos shared on the social media platform X. The PAA formally inducted the helicopters in a ceremony conducted on 02 August at Multan Army Aviation Base.
The Pakistan Army (PA) Chief of Army Staff (COAS), Field Marshal Syed Asim Munir, presided over the induction ceremony and observed the Z-10ME02 in live firing drills at the Muzaffargargh Ranges.
Developed and produced by the Changhe Aircraft Industries Corporation (CAIC), the Z-10ME-02 is a twin-engine, reportedly 7.2-ton platform with a length of 14.2 m and a payload capacity of 1,500 kg distributed across a total of four hardpoints.
