My apologies for posting this. I now think this is the Z-9W helicopter and not the new prototype. I had actually posted this after seeing a post by wangrong. Note the last heli in the below image:

which missile and heli is this

Chinese Z-9 attack variant, missile most probably is the HJ-9 ATGM or may be the HJ-8 ATGM as it can carry both of them.

is it better then Turkey's One?

The design looks a little bit better than the turkish, the rest i cant see any much difference.
The turkish/Italian joint one is 5th or 6th in the world.

If this comes out then US might again start its commache program.....Its was cancelled because they wanted to put more efforts on UCAV tech.....Russian will just start ...Americans will finish in little time if they find any thread from this stealth chopper.

USA defence budget is trillions of $ ruskies only spend like $60bn from that point of view russian defence companies produces better products for the amount of money they invest. One example is the S400 missile compared to the US PAC-3 it is miles better.

Guys do not bring in off topic things, keep the discussion as per the thread opening topic, no need to bring in Russian 5th Gen & US stuff.

Any idea of the price of this new chinese helipad or if it uses any composite materials?

Price is not known so far, but it has been made of considerable composites reducing its weight and more structural strength.

Price would be at 1/2 or 2/3 of what the Western platform of such caliber would cost.

Z-10 Attack Helicopter | Military-Today.com


I did some digging i found out some more specs on this new helipad


The Z-10 is powered by two Canadian Pratt & Whitney PT6C-67C turboshaft engines, delivering 1 531 hp each. However indigenous engines might be used on production helicopters.

This helicopter may be fitted with a fly-by-wire control, helmet-mounted sight for head-up display, television and forward-looking infrared sensors, radar and laser warning receivers, infrared jammer and decoy dispensers.

It is believed that that the Z10 attack helicopter is in the same class as the AH-2 Rooivalk and the A-129 Mangusta, however it is not as capable as the AH-64 Apache.
