There are TWO perfectly good reasons, but I am not going to say it. Its best secrets are kept secret.
That particular detail shows the level of careful thoughts put into the design. I congratulate CAIC for the marvelous design.

Another improved Z-9 helicopter? at least her sharp looks like it.

Finally the Z-19 revealed !!!!
... or simply a RC-model ... or a FAKE ? What do You think ?

Looks authentic to me.

Well given its size compared to the ground it looks pretty real to me. Having a WZ-19 light attack helicopter and a WZ-10 attack helicopter a good combination, like the United States operating both the AH-64D and the AH-1.

The Z-19 might also prove popular for export if its cheap enough

Kind of interesting it doesn't seem to have a dedicated gun...

Anybody has any stats on the Z-19? How much lighter is it than the Z-10?

Z-10 take off weight 6ton, Z-19 take off weight 4ton, I think WZ-19 will replace for WZ-9.

I've watched the series, anticipating that they would eventually show Z-10. However, they mostly focused on Z-9 and showed how they train soldiers to fly the thing. I bolded "fly" because they didn't show anything about how to operate the weapon systems and how to actually maneuver and fight using the chopper, only basic flying. Then all of sudden, all of them start fighting tanks in an exercise...

I guess this is an another official leak (after J-20 and WZ-10):
