ATGM launched from WZ-10 destroys moving target.

WZ-10? Isn't it a turboshaft engine?

Yes, WZ is abbreviation for 武直,which means attack helicopter. Z just means helo.

WZ is not a designation that the PLA uses to refer to attack helicopter.

Z is used to refer to all helicopters, whether its general utility/transport helicopters or attack helicopters.

I.e.: the designations "WZ-10" and "WZ-19" are not the names of the relevant helicopters -- instead it is Z-10 and Z-19.
