• In 2015 the Pakistan Army ordered 12 Bell AH-1Z Viper attack helicopters, with an option of 3 more to replace its ageing AH-1F Cobras and were to be delivered by 2017. ^{[157] [158]} Following cancellation of $300 million military aid to Pakistan by the US government in 2018, the helicopters were put into storage at Davis-Monthan AFB, Arizona. ^{[159] [160]} The reasoning for this cancellation by Trump was due Pakistan's support for groups like Lashkar-e-Tayyiba . In 2020 Pakistan considered ditching the Bell AH-1Z Viper deal for either Turkish or Chinese helicopters. ^[161] By 2022 Pakistan fully ditched this deal for Turkish T129B ATAK and Chinese Z-10ME Helicopters. ^{[162] [163]} The 12 Bell AH-1Z Vipers which were meant for Pakistan, are now planned to be sold to Ukraine instead as of 2024. ^[164]
• 3 Changhe Z-10ME attack helicopters of China were delivered for trial use so that orders could be made in the future. ^[165]
• In 2018, following trials, Pakistan ordered 30 T129B ATAK helicopters from TAI. Following US reluctance to grant Turkey the necessary export licenses for the LHTEC CTS800-4A engines, Pakistan extended the delivery deadline by one year. ^{[166] [167] [168]}
