Probably Kamov Black Shark would be priced with some premium to Longbow as it exceeds it in ALL capabilities/specifications while Mi-28N will be priced with discount to Longbow while matching it in capabilities.
Kamov would be then positioned as tanks/helicopter killer and reconnaisance helicopter. Its capabilities allow it to kill any of existing attack helicopters, perform attack functions much better than any, and even protect infantry/tanks from CAS (though Pakistan don't have them).... The best set of capabilities among any attack helicoptes!
Hence Indians will have the choice - cheap but simple Mi-28N for attack or expensive and sophisticated Ka-50/52 for attack/reconnainsance and helicotper/CAS killer role.

Pakis dun have 'em?
Why u talk about ***** in between? We Indians are least bothered about them. They have nothing new with them to deliver a good fight; They talk hard about nukes and they hardly think or talk about a retort after their first strike; what ever just forget about them I just don’t like to waste my time. We will go ahead with our purchase or develop what ever the best we could get in this world; we r in a process of making our self a modern and daring military with all latest weapons. (Edited)
