Come to think of it, if you took this:
and combined it with this:
One could build a real life version of Airwolf for all intents and purposes.

So Chinese DefiantX? Same configuration as the SB-1 for US FVL.
yeah, I think sikorsky is on the right track with SB-1 one, future helicopter units would be playing a similar role with the old fashion light cavalry

Air assault has always had a light cavalry aspect. That’s why US units are sometimes referred to as Air cavalry.
This is the news I saw at the tieba today. Maybe this is what they claim to be the "new heavy armed helicopter". According to this person, the new helicopter will have a side-by-side cockpit, co-axial twin rotors and a tail rotor, similar to the S-97.
Although they are all unproven contents, they can completely correspond to this model.
The netizen claimed that he learned from the staff of Changhe that there is a static experimental model prototype. In addition, he claims that Ka-52 has been ordered, but this new helicopter will continue to be studied.

It looks like a coaxial rigid rotor aircraft. The US has been working on rigid rotors for decades and never got them working properly.
This is a useful research project but I would not expect it to enter production anytime soon.
The configuration also looks more like that of a next generation Z-20 helicopter replacement than an attack helicopter like the Ka-52.
