I agree the Chinese are smart in keeping the lid shut on somethings not like the US who brags about most of their projects. An example is the submarine project where the Yuan class submarine existance wasn't even known to spies from other countries until it rolled up to port. The WZ10 is very much real and running in a fast pace. I wouldn't be suprised if the WZ10 were in mass production already in some secret facilatyThat can be pretty much be said about any of China's military projects. Tons of secrecy, lack of information for outsiders, only sources are pictures, guesses, occasional leaks, and of course, if you have the guanxi, the connections to get the information. The WZ-10 attack helo project is pretty real from what I understand it is from my sources. Some of the paper trail exists for it outside of China (such as the purchase of the PT6 engines from PWC). Where there is smoke, there is fire, is what I say.
I found this picture on the Chinese forums, any comments on it?
I'd prefer if someone who knows more about helicopters than I do comment on it.
