so says Wu Ximing, designer-in-chief, AVIC Helicopter.
Previous reports claim that the helicopter would enter service by 2020. However, that seems to be a very unrealistic date. Did the interview reveal anything pertaining to a timeline?
You dont see it, doesn't it mean it dont exist. Does China military development need to report everything to you to prove anything? Or you think you have more credibility than the chief designer words?Previous reports claim that the helicopter would enter service by 2020. However, that seems to be a very unrealistic date.

There are large number of advance weapon which China do not wish to let the public seen tested on very secluded area in inner mongolia. What you can seen online by leaker is all approved by PLA. Those not approved you will not seen but only read about it. But you dont see it doesn't mean the prototype not exist and not under test now. 2020 in facts sound too long. I expect earlier like 2018 to enter service.
A weapon as complex as an armed helicopter needs years for weapons integration, test flight, any in-house improvements if needed, and finally military evaluation. Achieving all that by 2018, much less without a single prototype built, is nothing short of fantasy.
The notion that a next-generation helicopter would be kept under wraps whilst the J-20/Sharp Sword/Divine Eagle are well known in public circles is ridiculous and unrealistic.
You know nothing of Chinese military development. I guess you better shut up. PLA is selective of what they want to show to public of its development and what not. It can be easy keep under wrap if they want to given China is so big and vast area of secluded area.

Instead of running to ad hominem attacks, why don't you attempt to ponder why Chinese censors decided to let through the J-20 rather than a notional next-generation helicopter?
It's one thing to exhibit optimism; it's another to have your head stuck in the clouds.
China's People's Liberation Army (PLA) has now equipped all of its ground force aviation units with advanced Changhe Aircraft Industries Corporation (CAIC) WZ-10 (also known as Z-10) attack helicopters, the China Military Online (ChinaMil) website reported on 8 September.
Several WZ-10s have been delivered to an aviation brigade of the PLA's 13th Group Army under the Western Theatre Command, meaning that all of the army's aviation units now have the aircraft, the website quoted the PLA's TV news channel as saying.
Moreover, Senior Colonel Xu Guolin, deputy chief of the PLA Army's Aviation Equipment Bureau, was quoted as saying that all of China's group armies will have at least one aviation brigade or regiment.
