Z-10 & Z-19 Combat Helicopter News & Discussion

[Beast]

They neglected to mention that the engine has also been upgraded.

Z-10 gunship engine never has problem. The underpowered engine rumour is spin off from a nonsense article from China Military Defence forum claiming a redesign of engine exhaust is a result of engine underpowered after US embargo of PW engine to China. Plenty of hatre and ill informed news against then slowly spin off including non substantial rumour claiming armour is sacrificed for lessen of weight.

Now the retribution for that anti-China military forum is heavily reduction of viewership which now makes it insignificant and loss of revenue. I stopped visiting that forum long ago. Too many haters and fake Chinese imposting as real Chinese trying to demoralise Chinese achievement.

Someone requests Z-10 (6 tons) can do the same work as AH-64 (10 tons) does, otherwise Z-10's engine is thought to be underpowered.

Surprisingly, nobody claim Euro Tiger Helo is underpowered and under armoured even it has a smaller engine output and slighter lesser weight.

Airbus Tiger lighter than Z-10 （6t vs 7t）, plus Tiger Helo already used upgraded engine MTR-390E (1092kw)，higher output than Z-10 engine (1000kw)。Z-10 need 1200kw engine.

lighter mean less armour according to some... But nobody claim Tiger is under armour despite being smaller and lighter than Z-10. Then they claim Z-10 armour is as thin as paper which Ak-47 rifle can easily punch a few hole. See the ironic? Especially the troll from Chinese Defense Forum who always being very selective in denouncing Chinese military hardware.

China WZ-9 turboshaft engine for Z-10 final power output until now is still a state secret. Your so called 1000W is just a random estimation that cannot be verify and is claimed to be given by troll from China defense forum. Maybe WZ-9 turboshaft output power is 1200kw. Who knows? The point is Chief designer of Z-10 gunship claim Z-10 do not suffer any under power. That means the current engine of Z-10 gunship is enough to meet the spec of PLA requirement.

i believe Tiger and Z-10 amour can sustain from 5.56/7.62mm bullet, since both bullet effective range about 400-800 meter.
As reported in china WZ-9 turboshaft upgraded version will have around 1200kw output, but not sure went it will going production. early news WS-16 engine possible will use in Z-10.

For anyone interested: Closely following and complementing the two recent books on the Chinese Naval Aviation (April 2018) and the regular Air Force (due out in October 2018), with this third volume on the Army Aviation all three major PLA branches are covered.
