Now to think of it, many critics of WZ-10 claim lack of IR suppression. Same as Apache which lack IR suppression too. Tiger help is equipped with IR suppression for its exhaust. But recent war of Syria demonstrated IR suppression are virtually useless against modern manpad like FN-6, newest stinger and Russian igla. The Iraq mi-35 gunship equipped with IR suppression failed to deal with FN-6 missile.

PLA is smart to discard IR supression to save more pounds for helo power. The most important thing is using better chaff/flares to shake off modern digital infra red missile seeker.

Its just an excuse.. You need a IR suppression, but as you dont produce your own, new generation engine, it would be hard.. Thats the game changing part of army technology.. How about not to be a target to Thermal cameras and obviously against new generation low attitude air defence systems.. ?

IR suppression is not such magic solution. With manpad seeker more and more advanced. There's so little IR suppression will do. The best way to counter manpad is still thru chaff and correct evasive action.

Disagree, looks very modern and menacing with some stealth shaping and the dark Matt coat.

WZ-10 Thunderbolt is improving well. When is the new turboshaft engine due and how much output its going to generate?
Someone posted this graphic some time ago, is China developing a larger/upgraded model?

Why not they offer Z-10 to BD who is looking for some like PAA.

WZ10 is not clear for export yet. If it is so, the first customer will be PA.
