It’s pretty clearly another model on display.

In concept it is. But technology wise the only
Aspect that the Chinese or anyone would have gotten were scrapings of the skin and photos of the wreckage. Yet even the tail is different. On the model. This of course assuming one is ever built. It’s not that I doubt it could be done by the PLAAF it’s that the cost and doctrine of such as well as the costs of performance vs design.

I guess the task now is to increase the number and start developing tactic and SOP
The main content of this issue: In this issue, we walked into a new type of combat unit that combines infantry and army aviation. The air assault brigade is like a sword flying over the land battlefield, and we want to achieve this kind of combat. Capabilities, various types of domestic military helicopters are essential and important equipment. Among these helicopters, the Chinese-made tactical utility helicopter Zhi-20, which has been installed in the air assault brigade in recent years, has always been the star equipment in the eyes of the public.

I'm actually really intrigued by the "stealth hawk" and hope we get to see it one day, one thing that stands out is that all the renderings we have seen still have the exhausts exposed where as this Chinese concept model has re-routed the exhaust through the boom above the tail rotor shaft which is very interesting...

Blackhawks have already been fitted with IR signature suppression systems. So many of the renders take that into account. A few early rendering of the Stealth hawk added RAH 66 style exhaust systems which do the same as the model.
However since the incident more talk has lead to the conclusion that the aircraft use in Neptune’s Spear were one off prototypes.
Interesting that the exhaust seems to be buried and along top of the tail. That's a new idea not seen before.

Maybe on a Chinese Helicopter but the RAH 66 Comanche had that.

Has you can see the twin engines fed their exhaust into a duct system to vents along the tail that directed it up into the rotor wash. Because this is in the rotor retreat the hot gases have little effect on lift.

So what's that in front of the two guys in the background?
