Let's think of it as a slab of meat, even if it's a 16oz. steak you'd ended up cutting away 14oz worth of useless fat...

From the current picture that we have, it looks like that this helicopter does not have cannons like the one for WZ-10 and other attack helicopter. Do you think that we this current design, they are able to fit it with 20 ~30 mm cannon?

WZ-19 may be capable of hauling a nose slung cannon, but that'll make it heavier etc. WZ-19 is meant to be a light armed scout (TOW 4.5 tons) like kawasaki OH-1 but probably will be operated like AH-1 as it'll replace current WZ-9 attack choppers. WZ-10 will be more like the eurocopter, rather than the AH-1 class, and be the Type 99 to the Type 96.

WZ-10 is eurocopter Tiger.
WZ-19 is ARH/ Kiowas.

hence in ball on the mast.

No WZ-19 has been observed with a mast mounted anything (or WZ-10 either as a matter of fact).
And I imagine with its four hardpoints WZ-19 will act as a light attack chopper as well as armed recon. TOW of 4.5 tons seems way too big to call kiowa or ARH :O

Oh c'mon...unless you never do any kind of cooking, or merely live on McD diet, you should know what I'm implying...

Right, that's enough off-topic from me.

Sorry, I thought the mast mounted ball on Z-9 passed its testing and shifted onto the WZ-19 already.

Nah, this is not z-19, rather a z-9 with mast-mounted radar

Z9 has been a test bed for many of the weapons now fitted to WZ10 and WZ19, China has learnt a great deal from Z9 helicopters and it makes integration of these systems on new attack helos much easier

guess we can wait for this type of radar to appear on WZ10 and WZ19 soon
