Z-10 & Z-19 Combat Helicopter News & Discussion

[Beast]

Any informatiion on Z-19s armor.

No information reveal but I believe it can only withstand standard assault rifle like Ak-47 or M-16. Anything more will be dangerous.

New pictures coming out, this may indicate new engines are available, since the replacement of engine by domestic engines and the power went down, this copter has been more or less for show with no real attack capabilities, but these new pictures suggest more weight can now be attached to copters. Orignally went down 1300 to 1000, now it could be back to 1300.

Especially image 3.

I know large number of people question why Z-19 has no fixed gun. But think about it, if necessary. Gun pod could be attached on one of the wing point. They can have a configuration of 8 ATGM, one rocket pod and 23mm cannon.
