Recent pictures of China’s Z-10ME assault helicopter have shocked the netizens as the chopper looks an exact replica of America’s Apache helicopter. The Z-10ME, which reports claim is the export variant of China’s attack helicopter, is believed to be delivered to Pakistan.
Chinese military observer posted a photo of the Z-10ME, a modified export variant of the Z-10 attack helicopter, on Twitter. The new configuration was seen alongside the old one for a visual comparison. According to the expert, the image was taken from Chinese social media Weibo, reported Eurasian Times.
“A new and so far clearest image of the Z-10ME has been revealed showing all the latest additions,” posted a Twitter user who claims to be a China military aviation researcher, book author and China news reporter.
Posting comparative pictures of Z-10 and Z-10ME, a Twitter user @HenriKenhmann wrote, “The Z-10ME attack helicopter, export version of Z-10, continues to evolve and above all become heavier. Here the prototype (?) “02”. Compared to “001”, “02” makes at least 11 apparent changes. The details are missing but it nevertheless suggests an improved motorization.”
