Indian signed 6 AH-64E for USD800 million. You can imagine the price per unit when export..

The US$800 million is including fake markup corruption for yindu ministers (cash to their pockets). Price could go double to triple under their accounts.

You have to accept dedicated helo are expensive which no average job can afford to owned one type of expensive attack helo only.

Pairing Z-19 with Z-10 is a logic choice to bring down operating cost. Nothing to doubt about.

Z19 could only carry maximum 4x anti-tank missiles based on specifications on max payload and photos from LKJ86.

How about Z-10? Can it carry 16x anti-tank missiles equivalent to AGM-114 Hellfire like AH-1Z Viper?

The last 2 photos, what armament being carried on Z-10 outer pylons? Mini anti-tank missiles in pack of 4 or unguided rockets? They look really small, what is the effective range? Less than 3Nm (6km) ? It looks more like air to air missiles to me, equivalent to AIM92 stinger.

Yes, but 8x ATGM and 4 x ata missile are impressive for such light attack helo. Not to mention it carry a milimeter wave radar at top. A Z-10 can carry much more than this load out. The ATGM missile used is same weight as hellfire type. Each missile weight 50kg

Got it, 8x ATGM and 4x A-A is good for light attack helicopter especially when deployed in large numbers would swarm the enemy ground forces and helicopters.
