Just one point......
PAF dont use Heli. Pakistan Army Aviation and Pakistan Navy do......
sir that was below the belt ..........here due to advance tecnology we r able to represent the thinking of a common man of our respected countries ............so pls refrain yourself from making such comments........as Pakistani think every think which made in china and turkey is for Pakistan. BETA u can buy everything even f-22 but all it's require money and i don't think chines don't invent it for donation.
Some Chinese forums are already debunking this new Z-19 thing.
The cockpit being shown on the lower left side seem more likely a Z-10 cockpit rather then some Z-19 thingy.
One blurred pictured saying to be from 2001 shows such a design, 9 years and still no official induction.
It either i more likely a technology demonstrator whose learning were inputted into the Z-10 attack helicopter, as 2 platforms of similar specifications going side by side seems unrealistic if we look at the Chinese defence industry.
Wastage of time as well as resources and Chinese don't do that.
Plus the maker of Z-9 helicopter on which the Z-19 is supposed to be based on HAMC was initially teamed up with CAIC to develop Z-10 attack helicopter, but due to some incompetency shown at HAMC, CAIC became the sole developer of the Z-10 and HAMC continued with their Z-9 productions mostly and other helicopter.
So end result is, 2 similarly deigned helicopter programs working in tandem is somewhat hard to digest.
The current strategy of PLA seem to have armed versions of Z-9 as light attack / scout helicopters, while Z-10 to be the main attack helicopter, just like the US Kiowa / Apache pair working together.
agreed but the z-10 engine issues persist and this cld just be a fallback position. at best the z-19 looks like a light attack helo!
