i think mi 26 is more better than chinkook and china will soon come with a new design of mi 26 in future
there is a huge difference between the size of both

take a look at this monster!
Mil V-12 : 231,485 lb (105,000 kg)
The largest helicopter ever built was a massive aircraft developed in the Soviet Union during the 1960s called the Mil V-12. The V-12 was a rather unusual test vehicle that featured two rotors mounted side by side at the ends of a large wing. Each rotor had a diameter of nearly 115 ft (35 m). The helicopter was so enormous that the distance from the edge of one rotor disk to the other was almost 220 ft (67 m), even wider across than the wingspan of a Boeing 747!
