What's the different between Z-20 and their previous helo? (Z-8 and Z-9)? what's the advantage of this new toy?
Z20 is capable of flying in high altitude, so it is well suited for Tibetan plateau/ Himalaya moutain region, while Z8 and Z9 are excellent at sea level but not high altitude.

Another advantage is its size is tailor cut for hangars of navy destroyers and frigates. It is much larger than Z9 and can carry more equipment, especially anti-submatine detection gears and torpedo. Z9 is restricted by its small size and Z8 is too large to be based on DDGs (except type 055) and FFGs.

In short, Z20 is one size larger than Z9, and one size smaller than Z8.
