WZ10
This is my first time to do armed helicopter, referring to China's WZ-10Wuzhi-10 (English: CAIC Z-10, Chinese code name: thunderbolt fire) is a new generation of professional armed helicopter of the Chinese people's Liberation Army developed by China Helicopter Design and Research Institute of Changhe aircraft industry (Group) Co., Ltd. and designed and planned by Harbin aircraft company. The wuzhi-10 is the first professional armed helicopter of the Chinese people's Liberation Army and the first self-developed professional armed helicopter of Asian countries. It has ended the long history of the PLA Army Aviation relying on the French dolphin helicopter as an armed helicopter, and greatly improved the air assault and anti armor capabilities of the PLA Army aviation. Wuzhi-10 is equipped with a rotating turret. The short wings of weapons on both sides of the body can carry anti tank missiles and air-to-air missiles. It adopts tandem double seat design, which is in line with the main characteristics of Western professional armed helicopters. On November 12, 2012, zhi-10 was officially exposed for the first time in the 9th China International Aerospace Expo. On November 18, 2012, according to the military news released by China Central Television, zhi-10 has officially joined the active service and began to be loaded into the PLA Air Force.
