When ?
Z-19 with wave radar act as command and eyes ,staying behind better armour Z-10. Comunicate thru datalink while the Z-10 act as spear going for the kill. That is most likely the scenario. Z-19 acting like AWACS.

Why Z10 can't mount the top MMR? Engine power shortage or cost concern? Will Z10 has to sacrifice weapon load if it has MMR on it?
@Mastan Khan will Pakistan army more interested in Z19 if it can carry MMR on its top and same weapon load with Z10? I think the only difference is the thickness of the protection armor.
Its not neccessary. Have you seen 10 AWACS enter fighting zone acting as command while try to dogfight at the same time?
One AWACS guide 10 other fighter to do the job. That is always the standard procedure.

I think it still be the problem of lower engine power output, lets looking foward Turboshaft type 16. The installation of MMR will add around 200 kg plus to the take off weight, means we need to enhance Z10 engine's HP to balance the added weight.we gonna pull it off in the near future. I wanna see every Z10 carrys MMR. Now the reason why Z19
Can carry MMR is because it replace previous Turboshaft 8c to 9A, from700 hp to 1000hp. Z10 with thicker protection armor can't carry MMR without engine performance enhancement, unless we can put better engine on it.

WZ-10 helicopter gunship might to have improved homemade engine
Posted on April 3, 2016 by buffalo — No Comments ↓
According to a recent report from Qiangjiang Evening, China’s homemade helicopter gunship will hopefully have new-type homemade WZ-16 engine, which features more power than currently used WZ-9C engine, of which the power is merely about 1,000kw.
WZ-16 engine is a medium thrust engine jointly developed by AVIC and France, and will be firstly equipped on Z-15/EC175 helicopter made by China and France, which has won over 100 global orders. WZ-16 engine is expected to improve WZ-10 gunship to the same level of Apache attack helicopter.
At present, WZ-10 gunship can only hang 8 antitank guided missiles, compared to 16 of Apache.
According to famous Chinese military expert Song Zhongping, WZ-10’s maneuverability is comparable with foreign counterparts, but its armors are thinner due to limited power of engine, and this could be fatal in battles.
WZ-10 helicopter was expected to use Canada’s PT6C-67B engine with full authority digital electronic control system and 1,250kw power, but was later obstructed by U.S.
It was reported that WZ-10 helicopter also tried Russia’s VK-2500 and Ukraine’s TV3-117, but finally adopted homemade WZ-9C engine, at the expense of compromising performance.
