Ok so that means

WZ-10 operates in 4th, 5th, 6th, 8th and 9th aviation regiments that's 60 units

And WZ-19 operates in 2nd, 8th and 9th aviation regiments that's 36 units, where is this 10th Reg coming from?

If in 2 years they have built all those WZ-10 units looks like production is 2-3 units per month and same rate for WZ-19, that is a typical rate for attack helos

Rates will only increase so I think by 2015 we will have a few hundred attack helos in operation, maybe in excess of 300 units

Btw what is Huitong?

In this units Z-9W Attack variant are removed ?

I have read this units was brigades.

These are regiments or brigades ?

Either contesting designs, or serving different mission profiles?

Still, compare with the Western designs they're very bulky, and even some the PLA army aviation pilots complained the new helmets are heavy, as we said in some interviews.

If that is true than it looks like the designers didn't take pilot fatique and ergonomics into consideration. If it's a long mission the pilots are not going to perform well at all if they have a stiff and painful neck when SHTF!

How do we know this is even used on Z-19 at all?

And I don't think attack choppers all need standardized helmets anyway, AH-64 and AH-1Z have quite different helmets...

And what western designs are we talking?


Bulky? y/n?

They don't look very much lighter than Z-10's known HMD

I'd also be interested what interview we're talking, and what choppers the pilots fly (utility or gunships exclusively)

I am not so sure about that. Western Heli helmets have got bulkier :
