WZ-10 thread

[pla101prc]

I have a pretty good idea of what projects they are working on, since I've been following this for like ever. And I do not believe Z-10 is being navalized.

that's kinda surprising to me cuz what would they use to support amphibious assaults?

Not really like rest of us. The Pentagon has footnoted his stuff in their reports.

My curiosity is piqued. Do you have a source for this statement?

Why they would need some kind of "navalization"?

As far as I know, There wasn't so much to do on Tiger to fit them for naval operations (from Mistral Class LHD), and all French choppers are used to be sent on French helicopter carriers. Requirements are far less demanding for choppers than for aircraft at sea.

The Pentagon came out with one of their reports on China a couple years back and when it happened posters here were congratulating Tphuang that they used him as a source. There's a thread buried in here somewhere showing it. Not sure if it was the subject of a thread in itself or within another subject's thread.

hmm, it was actually a congressional research study, but my blog has had it's moments. I was the person that originally broke the ASBM story.

I don't have any inside knowledge, but I have followed different sources very closely for a long time. I have been wrong on some issues in the past, this could be one of them. Let's just say that from my experience, every development in PLA has some smoke and Z-10 getting on LHD has no smoke.

Not to worry, the Z-10 is surely "advanced" (whatever that means)

Z-9 lah!!

[terrorhunter]

around 2004 (or 2005?) there is 4 grainy black and white picture of LAH appear in chinese website.the helos carry 4 what appear to be box launcher and share similiar Z-9 tail rotor.but with retratable wheel.
picture claim to be taken from northern China.
2006(?i am not sure) in Chinese website,very clear fully mock up of attack helos appear in the Chinese website,helos carrying HJ-8 ATGM,similiar ball type thermal camera/laser range finder.
speculate , either WZ-10 was "heavy attack helos" while WZ-9 reccon strike helos,or competition between two helos company. or likely "export only" LAH similiar to FC-1.
