Wrong thread?

Oh yeah. Ooops. Could you move the two posts?

Newly released high-resolution images.

A white or light grey Z-20?? I'm surprised even more since there seem to be a serial number on the tail!?

Definitely not an army tail number, way too short. Also looks like the decoy dispensers are missing from the front under the gear and the satcom is right at the back of the tail boom like some of the prototypes rather than at the front like the army ones.

I have not seen a PLA helicopter picture with door gunners. Do the PLA not believe in using them?

This might be a PLAAF variant, but unlikely a CSAR variant. And it is in basic transport helicopter configuration.

Finally the uncensored image of the new naval helicopter Z-20F was posted with the serial number '6211' clearly visible and I must admit a four digit number beginning with a '6' is not the standard.

Great let’s see two on the Type 055

I hope it’s not 6211 which fly’s on every Type 055

they need many more

Has anyone else looked at a z-20 and not been able to see the iff antennas that every other Chinese aircraft has? Just wondering if the new IFF that Deino posted about for the J-10 might be fitted.
