.
According to a military expert of CCTV, the price of a Z-10 is around 1/3 of an AH-64.

If we have a look on the 22 AH-64 brought by India with 1.4 billions USD, it means that each AH-64 costs to India 63 millions USD whereas the US amy pays around 20 millions USD per aircraft.

What I heard is that each Z-10 costs around 100 millions RMB it means around 16 millions USD. Why the expert said that the Z-10's price is 1/3 of a AH-64? :what:
 
.
CCTV has published one article and a video on Z-10 and Z-19 which are in service in Beijing military region and in Shenyang military region.

In the article, Link, they just described the combined training of Z-10 and Z-19 from Shenyang military region. However the only picture in the article is from Beijing military region.

And the video shows in detail what is written in the article -


The article from CCTV also mentionned the helicopter division of General Staff department of PLA that "evaluates the performance of these new helicopters". We can so guess that Z-10 and Z-19 have at least entered into service in 4 different divisions or military regions -

* General staff department
* Shenyang military region (as described in the article and in the video)
* Beijing military region (as shown in the picture of the article)
* Guangzhou military region (as seen in Zhuhai Air Show, the Z-10 belongs to this military region)

My personal analysis is that at least 120 to 160 Z-10 are ordered so far.

Cause they forgot to factor missiles and parts. The Apache does not cost 63 million per unit.
