Thats a good idea, anti-tank rockets armed by coptors, they can take out a tank and a copter is easier to built

no, I'm talking about the article, not the picture. It says a new type of WZ (most likely WZ-10) could enter production in 2006 or something along that line.

That's a Z-9G

The first one is animated if you haven't notice and not intended to be real but i think the second is real.

read what it said about the new WZ helicopter that's coming out.

1st pic is soooo ps

Chairman Hu

It still doesnt seem that capable...

MIGleader

dont make assumptions, cause we dont know much right now.

Chairman Hu

okie i wont

btw shouldnt china make just 1 coptor but has modfied versions for lower mantance cost and easier to keep up with, just like the series of flankers, ahhh... long live sukhoi!

MadMax

the WZ 10 is probably going to have capabilitys simaler to the tiger but thats only speculation of course

MIGleader

that is likely, since the project got assistance from the people that made the tiger.

MadMax

exactly why i said that i would expect the look to be some what simmaler aswell

WZ10 flight characteristic and performance would be similiar to euro Tiger. But the onboard electronic sensors and avonics would be more similiar to the Italian Au129. Every often, the combat helio performance also depends on the reliablity of the engines, in order to maintain a high sorties rate in the battlefield. The Sensor suites and ECM suites are very critical subsystem that determine the survival of the combat helio in the field against enemy detection. It would be interesting to see if Chinese engineers would implement the active laser protection system onto the new WZ10 as well.

Chairman Hu

You never know, if China needs it, then China will arm it

ACtive Laser Protection might not be needed, modifications will prove useful in time of crisis

Chairman Hu

yea know, I never have said this but...

Itz always good to have americans in chinese military forums!

for 07...? nice

China might need the copters to have the laser protection, but yea know, fighters ARE more important...

wait... does the tiger have laser protection?
