The Pakistan Army Aviation Corps has deployed newly procured Chinese Z-10ME-II attack helicopters to participate in the Raad ul Fatah combined arms firepower exercises, marking the aircraft’s debut and allowing them to demonstrate their considerable close air support capabilities.

The review aims to assess the policy’s implementation and outcomes, and “will be focused on making sure that this never, ever happens again,” said Anthony Tata, Under Secretary of War for Personnel and Readiness.
