That helo looks so weird....Makes you wonder if it could fly.
I like you guys but I hate it when you post stuff in Chinese because I can't read it..
That nose cone could be some sort of ECM gear or speical sensor. But for what I do not know. The pic looks real to me. I do not think it is "PS".

To me the helicopter looks OK, but that nose is anit too shiny and definition lacking compared to the rest of it.
Then again the shadow looks genuine. I am however, the first to admit that I know nothing aout PS Software and its shadow effect capabilities.

On second and more looks at the pic I am now beginning to be suspicious. look at that front landing gear. It appears to come out of that radome..That would not be right. That gear has to be attatched to the airframe in order for it to work properly. What do you fellows with younger eyes than I think???????
The shadow looks correct. A shiny radome????
Can't figure that one out.. If anyone, like say swimmer, can come up with more pics we all would appericate it.This is one of the things I dislike about new PLA equipment. We all have to guess if it real or not...But then again as a China watcher that's part of the fun!!!
I've had a good deal of experience with CG images and computer manipulated images and this one seems legit. I'm 99% sure it's not been altered in any major way.
That being said, there could be anything inside that dome. Most logical assumption would be some kind of surveillance radar. I would just like to point out that the fact the helo is in army colours doesn't have to mean squat. It could very well be the point, to mask the true purpose of the helo. Actually, if i had to make a guess - i'd put my money on maritime surveillance radar to be used on frigates/destroyers. Could be also used for ground surveillance but helo isn't exactly the best plaform for that, with its flight ceiling limitations.
