Has the Pakistani military bought 30 Z-10ME attack helicopters from China?

An image circulated by a Chinese military blogger suggests Pakistan's Z-10ME attack-helicopter procurement covers 30 aircraft, but the quantity has not been officially confirmed. The post attributes the purchase to a July 11 contract between China National Aero-Technology Import and Export Corporation and Pakistan's Ministry of Defence Production, including associated products and services. Pakistan formally inducted the Chinese-built type in August 2025, establishing that deliveries have occurred without resolving the total order size. The Z-10ME is an export development of Changhe's attack helicopter, and the reported 30-aircraft figure remains a claim based on the circulated image.
