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

[Deino]

I believe roles of Z10K in air force services would be (1) provide escort protection to rescue helicopters sent to hostile area to evacuate downed pilots, (2) patrol and perimeter defence around airfields, SAM sites and other air force sites, against enemy ground attacks.

I agree that it would not be given tank destroyer role, though I hope it retains this capability.

Thanks, indeed an argument and explanation ... however I think they are technically build to the same standard (aka they retain this capability) even if their operational role might be different.

Maybe the new Z-10 HMS has the function to record the whole mission action like Gopro video camera.

Last year an improved Z-10 (Z-10K) was under development and a prototype has flown. It appears to feature an
> improved targeting system with an additional sensor behind the PVDS.
> New 23mm gun.
> Possibly upgraded engines.
> It also carries new 19-tube rocket launchers (70mm) similar to American M261 for a bigger fire power against ground targets.
However the success of this project will depend on the availability of a powerful engine.

How long will it take for WZ-16 to be fully ready ???

There are no engine problem for Z-10. May I know where did you get this rubbish sources of news.

Has anyone these two images in full-size ???

@Zarvan doesnt mean that current engine is weak or rubbish rather that engine doesnt support pakistans high altitude needs and wz16 is what will fulfill our needs

There is no report on PA side on Z-10 lacking in high attitude capabilties. Plus China has a highest peak near India border. I doubt Z-10 will be lacking in this area. The part about Z-10 weak engine first started by some dodgy Chinese article in Chinese forum and pick up by CDF as side bible and spread like nonsense. There is no official comfirmation abt Z-10 underpowered or lacking in this area.

But there's so far also NO report that the Z-10 or any version uses already a WZ-16 and - at least as far as I know - do we have reports about the Z-10 already being tested at that altitude in Tibet ??

Do PLA needs to report everything to you? You are funny that to claim everything needs black and white to be see by Deino and be claim as truth?

Then have we seen a J-20 ejection seat being demonstrated? If no, so we shall assume J-20 ejection can't be ejected and the pilot will go down with the plane once the plane is malfunction?

Same as DF-5 MIRV, we have not seen a D-5 MIRV live video. So we can assume when V-day 2015 China PLA announce to world their DF-5 with MIRV is probably fake as no video and evidence is presented to Deino to be verify and comfirmed, right?

 

[Deino]

No, the PLA does not have to report to me but it surely does not report to You either ?
In contrast to You however I never said I know everything and I even admit my mistakes, faults and errors, but not everything that is not confirmed has not necessarily to be true only since YOU want so.
So by that logic, the Chinese were already on Mars, but they simply did not report to us.

In reverse, may I remind You on all of @beasts claims his year ... and then let's do a fact-check?

- J-10B + AL-31FN is never operational
- J-20 uses WS-10G
- Y-20 uses WS-18
- Y-20 will be take part on Aviadarts exercise with Russia
- China will never purchase any Russian engines any more
- ...

Shall I continue ??
