Can you provide a translation?
The new heavy attack heli is not too far away, but then it also means its is still going to be a conventional design.Can you provide a translation?
It is supposed to be a successor to the Z-10?The new heavy attack heli is not too far away, but then it also means its is still going to be a conventional design.

Because there was rumor circulating about the new attack helicopter being a "raider" alike design.It is supposed to be a successor to the Z-10?

The PLAGF definitely needs a heavy armed helicopter like the Apache or the Ka-52. The Z-10 was designed to be a light/medium helicopter and thus is not heavily armed or armored enough IMO.Z10 is like Cobra. I think they are talking about something to go against the Apache.
What I dont understand is why would the Chinese make two similar but different designs to fill same role of the helicopter i.e the Z19 and the Z10??The PLAGF definitely needs a heavy armed helicopter like the Apache or the Ka-52.

"Though the long anticipated new heavy attack heli is not too far away, but at the same time it means the design is still based on the existing and mature platform out there".Wow ... could you please share a full translation of the text above?
To be honest me neither. The Z-10 is IMHO more fit to be a scout/recon helicopter than an attack helicopter given its compliment. Hopefully once this new heavy helicopter comes online, the Z-10 will be relegated to the Z-19s role.What I dont understand is why would the Chinese make two similar but different designs to fill same role of the helicopter i.e the Z19 and the Z10??
Please tell me he is not saying the new heavy attack helicopter will be based on the Z-10. There are inherent design limitations to the Z-10 that make it not suitable to carry large ordinances."Though the long anticipated new heavy attack heli is not too far away, but at the same time it means the design is still based on the existing and mature platform out there".
If it's something like raider, obviously more time will be needed.
