A prelude to the formation of PLAN Marine aviation attack helicopters and construction of helicopter carriers or LHA.

I wonder if they will transfer some existing army Z10s to the PLAN Marine when several army brigades change their uniform to that of marines.

You cannot transfer Army Helicopter to Marine Unit. Sea Based Assault Helicopter have to have different structure than Army/Air Force Based. You can land a Land Based Helicopter on a ship once or twice, but not basing them at sea.

A few structural differences included:

1.) Reinforced Landing Gear
2.) Folding Main Rotor blade
3.) Specially treated hull (Anti-Corrosion in High Salt Based environment)
4.) Rear Landing Gear relocation to provide more balance on tight ship borne environment

Not to mention mission package, radar package and crew training.
