Pakistan has reportedly agreed to acquire 30 Chinese Z-10ME attack helicopters, signaling a shift towards deeper defence cooperation with China following stalled procurement attempts from the US and Turkey. The acquisition will likely impact Pakistan's military capabilities in mountainous terrain and logistical operations.
