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

The WZ-16 is entering production next year: https://m.rednet.cn/detail.asp?id=4624904
I am not sure how crucial WZ-16 turboshaft is for the military. We have seen Z-19E capable of carrying 16 ATGM plus longbow style radar which debuke the myth Z-19 is under powered. Same as Z-10 gunship which never exhibit the problem of underpowered. It proves the current engine install are good. WZ-16 maybe just a civilian designation turboshaft for Z-15 civilian market helo.

The WZ-16 is for the Z-10 ... the Z-19 is not underpowered in its current form.

I doubt Z-10 is under powered if Z-19E has long solved the engine product. Z-10 is a even more important project than Z-19. More resources and effort is made for Z-10.

Z19 is much lighter than Z10 in weight.

With input technology from WZ16, Z10 will be an formidable helis in the near future. We can make WZ16 a new engine with another new name, it depends on our need.
