Well ... according to a text I found:


直20和直10首次出現在西藏軍區陸航旅，可能是渦軸9和渦軸10改善了高原性能

... does this mean the Tibet/Xizang LH Brigade (西藏陆航旅) received its first Z-20s & Z-10 helicopter or is this a temporary deployment of another LH Brigade to Tibet?

If WZ20 at war with country with Blackhawks, soldiers from both sides will pay extra attention as WZ20 and Blackhawks are almost identical. Always check carefully before open fire or letting it passes through.
