Z-10 thread

Seems that WZ-10 and Z-19 have no passive IR suppression at the exhausts, while almost every design in the world today have such...wonder if that's a problem with material science that Chinese can't make the right heatsink, or the current model they can cook up is too heavy that it'd actually affect the performance of the helicopters?

Hmm I'm not sure about that... what indicators are there on a helicopter showing whether it does or does not have IR suppression?

absent of IR suppression and uses of ball EO turrent,mean helos are underpower.one solution was to purchased directly from russia.

Close-up pictures of WZ-10 Nos. 11 and 3

Look at WZ-10 attack helicopter tail boom for number identification (e.g. No. 11 or No. 3).

No. 11

No. 3

Good find. That's probably the clearest picture we got of the WZ-10!

well, looks like there are at least 11 Z-10 serving at this regiment now. We are finally getting some really up close pictures of weapon hard points. Looks like they can hold at least 2 rocket launcher pod + 8 missiles. I wonder if we will see a picture with all 4 hard points holding 4 launchers.

Perhaps on the second batch if they get more powerful engines. But if it does use WZ 9 with its lower power its unlikely it could carry that kind of payload.

anyone know what happened to the Avic AC313 that flew few years back in 2009? 27 seater 13 ton helo should be in production by now does anyone know how many are in operation?
