today, guancha guys had a good cha Hua hui episode on Z-10. Talked about China's cooperation with Russia on project 941. about the weight issues they had in trying to design on Z-10. 3850kg is the MTOW of Dauphin and Z-10's MTOW had to be 5250kg due to WZ-9 limitations.
Interesting enough that they said WZ-9 project started in 1991 but then later they said it entered some design phase in 1993 & completed review by 1998 or something like that. Basically saying it was a very successful project considering this was a 0 to 1 step. And that was the reason they got Z-10 w/ domestic engine into service at such an early point despite being significantly under powered vs what they actually wanted originally in Z-10 (which would have pushed MTOW to over 6t).
I don't think anything too new in there (as in stuff we haven't heard elsewhere), but it was good to put it all together in the same place.

Unless there has been a further development of the Z-10ME of which I'm not aware, the top pic above shows an incorrect engine intake. (It resembles the intake on PLA Z-10s.) For comparison, note the intake in the following pic (previously posted here at SDF by @by78) showing the Z-10ME at Singapore Airshow 2024.

looks very ai deino, apart from the bogus engine details, check the nose sensors and the armament.
Inside of the rear cockpit is different too
