Z-10 ME/P News, Updates

These days drones have taken pretty much every role of attack helicopter

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.

Personally, what do you think? Do you believe that PA should have gotten or in the future get 30-60 more Z-10s or are 30 enough?

My take is PAA needs up to 100 of Z10ME2 in a single configuration to be effectively operated round the clock, and all operations are supported by drones and surveillance.
