Z-19 armed recon helicopter

I cannot think of any examples of multi-target engagement capability with laser guided missiles.

For one, you will need two, independently targeting lasers and associated mounts to be able to hit two targets at the same time with two missiles.

For another, even if you had that set up, there is every chance both missiles will end up following one or the other laser rather than one each.

Multi-target simultaneous engagement is only theoretically possible with radar guided missiles, and to be honest, I cannot remember even hearing of examples of such even with attack helicopters that have MMW radars.

I am 99.9% sure those are just unguided rockets.

Someone find length of Z19 and ATGM we will get a good idea if they are rockets or missiles

They could be lock on after launch

Obviously unguided rockets. Do not understand what there is even to discuss.

Starvation of actual news on the Chinese military can result in hallucination and excessive guesstimation among Chinese military watchers.

Looks like unguided rockets to me.

Speaking of dearth of actual news...

Is that a mast mounted AESA radar?

Range detection perhaps?

Should be able to a great deal more than just range finding.

I would expect it be to a fully-fledged surveillance and maybe even fire control radar.

Just didn't expect it to be AESA that's all.

Seems like China is using AESA on pretty much everything these days.

Seems like AESA and radars are 98% most useful as awarness tool not fire control radar. Which is almost never useful and underwhelming in performance between missile seeker detection of target and actual capability to hit in comparision with visual range and visual deployed weapons or even SALH guided missiles.
