At this very moment, China is intensifying its efforts to build "air assault brigades." Within these new types of combined-arms units, armed attack helicopters serve as a vital aerial force.
Had Russia possessed such "air assault brigades," the outcome of the assault on Antonov Airport might have been entirely different.
Thirty Z-10ME attack helicopters would roughly equate to the strength of two attack battalions within one of the air assault brigades currently being developed by the PLA Ground Force (PLAGF). Naturally, these PLAGF air assault brigades also incorporate a wide array of other helicopter types and military equipment.
As things stand, there are still many missions that unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) cannot perform—human personnel remain essential.
