Pakistan Armed forces are all set to receieve batch of six Apache attack helicopters. All this is part of the $73Million American assistance for the help in War on Terror. The version most likely to be inducted into Pak forces would be AH-64, though its not yet confirmed and can be AH-64D. The negotiation started back in 2007 when US offered Pakistan immediate assistance in the form of Gunship Helicopters, Spare-parts for F-16s and other military Hardware. The further induction of 6 Apaches are in future plans. So all this along with the availabilty of Cobra Attack helicopter and further plans to induct similar gunships would give Pak forces some teeth and muscle to counter any aggression against its soil. It is not yet confirmed when will these Gunships be operational.

I thought the US has decided NOT to give those Apaches to Pakistan and settled for providing night vision goggles and other equipment. The whole thing was just a rumor apparently. Thats the latest I know of.
So when we will get these AH-64? 73 million seems too low for six AH-64 also can you explain?
Lowered price due to credits as part of the aid?
Still I would have recomended the South African model as it means Pakistan is less dependant ont he US in the future.
South African Air Force (SAAF) had ordered 12 AH-2 Rooivalk first of which entered service in July 1999 and this gunship is not production.
I don’t see a Point in going for the helicopter which is only purchased by its producer and even they purchase only one dozen of these. South African Air Force (SAAF) had ordered 12 AH-2 Rooivalk first of which entered service in July 1999 and this gunship is not production.
Secondly credit would mean that interest on the amount thus higher amount not the small one like this. Usually AH-64 deals are in hundreds of millions of dollars if not in billions
Saudi Arabia requestedin August 2006 to upgrade of 12 Apaches to standard AH-64D (33+ $ million per AH-64D APACHE )for $400 million and, in September 2008, the sale of 12 AH-64D APACHE Longbow Helicopters far$598 million (49+ $ million).
In September 2003, Greece ordered 12 AH-64D for a total cost of $675 million (presumably including weapons and support), indicating a gross unit cost for the AH-64D of $56.25 million
So just 12+ $ million even for AH-64A APACHE Helicopters to Paksitan dont make any sense at all to me
