Chinese troops have been equipped with WZ-10 helicopter gunships

J-20 fighters, following a successful test flight, the Chinese and then came the shocking news on the new armament: China's own R & D WZ-10 attack helicopters have been fitted out. WZ-10 is China's first designed specifically for combat helicopters。WZ-10 uses stealth technology.

The back and front sides of the helicopters looks stealthy. Very good but China must also develop a more advanced attack helicopter to enter service after 2020 as long-range planning.

Very interesting.............Chinese brothers are showing their muscles slowly slowly.

For a combat chopper to remain stealthy, it needs retractable weapons, retractable landing gear. And I also think the rotor blades and the tail rotor need additional work. Shaping and material also plays a crucial role.

Example - RAH66 Comanche:

The best thing about this Chinese weapons system is that it is fully indigenous, including the engine. While it is not quite up to the technology level of the Apache and the Tiger helicopters, it is nonetheless a commendable effort. I am sure the follow on to this helicopter will be truly world class and will be able to match anything the US comes up with.

The commanche is one sexy helicopter. Saw a video of it on youtube, and it flies so fast backward.

I look forward to it. ^^

There is nothing 'stealthy' about it.

There is nothing 'stealthy' about it.

What about the stealth shape of the fuselage to reflect radar away from the emitter? Or are your eyes incapable of seeing the obvious faceted shaping?

If you're having problems comprehending the stealth shaping, let me educate you. When radar hits the top-half of the WZ-10, it reflects away into space. When radar hits the bottom-half of the WZ-10, it reflects into the ground. Either way, the radar is redirected away from the receiver.

Your the last person that should be talking about educating people on 'stealth'. The angled fuselage is nothing more than a design feature that gullible people like you interpret as being 'stealthy'. There are many things that increase an aircraft's RCS, one of the biggest is right angle surfaces, the ZW-10 is full of them; for example, the vertical stabilizer, pylons, the fin on the tale, the two large antennas on the tail, the exhaust manifold, the cowl (right below engine), the gun, and the flir/optics housing are all right angled surfaces. But there is also the landing gears and countless protrusions sticking out from the fuselage.

On a related matter when an aircraft like an F-22 or B-2 opens it's weapons bays it is seen on radar, these are fully optimized for low observability and there is no sacrifice, so tell me if an F-22 is seen on radar with an opened weapons bay how is this ZW-10 with all it's right angled surfaces and protrusions--landing gear and all 'stealthy'? And what about those saw tooth patterns that you can't seem to get enough of, according to you without them this helicopter can not at all be 'stealthy'.
