I wonder what happened to the Radar version of the WZ-19. I have not seen any news or picture of it recently

Z-19 with mast-mounted millimeter wave radar will make an appearance at this year's Helicopter Expo in Tianjin

(1200 x 800)

More Z-19 with the millimeter wave radar...

Is that 8 anti tank missiles on each wing ???

If so why spoil the photo by carrying 12 and leaving 4 slots empty ?? Did they run out of missiles

Add 16 to match AH-64 !!! Pleaseeeee

In the port wing, it carries 4 ATGMs and 4 AAMs.

What is the weight of each ? AAM and ATGM?

According to Henri K for this mission the load out is


A Z-19 light combat helicopter with mast radar, eight Air-Air TY-90 missiles and eight AKD-9 Air-Ground missiles.(version of HJ 9)
8 X40Kg + 8X 20kg =480kg +2 man +wild guess 200 gallon of fuel(600kg)=1300kg(rough calc) not including mast radar
