According to this, Russia aggrees to sell Mi-28NE to Pakistan.

That could slim down chances of T-129 and Z-10 due the commonality between Mi-35M and Mi-28NE.

However Pakistan stands in a position where every deal could benefit but also worsen some relationships and lobbyism at this point will be pushed by all sides that is without doubt.

according to the test pilot, due to too many variations (new helo, new pilot, new ammunitions), they had to hire foreign test pilots to fly WZ-10 at early stage of development.

Some early reports mentioned black test pilots seen flying the WZ-10 prototype, So they speculated those pilots were from the Denel Rooivalk program .

They did not have qualified test pilot for attack helicopters at the early stage of development. I suspect the foreign test pilot was also required to teach Chinese test pilots the art of the trade as well as helping to draw up the flight test program since China has zero experience on making attack helicopter then.
