Mil Mi-17 & Mi-171 in China

Appix · Feb 25, 2021

Does China have the capability to build heavyweight helicopters. Until now I have only noticed small and medium weight helicopters like the Harbin Z-19/Harbin Z-9/Harbin Z-20/CAIC Z-10.

China also builds the Harbin Z-8/Avicopter AC313/Changhe Z-18. Those are heavy three engine helicopters.

Seems as if the Mi-171Sh helicopters which were noted for the first time in September 2020 have been delivered. ... I would love to see its serial number!

Any idea where it was spotted?
