The WZ-10 armed helicopter is China's first dedicated armed attack helicopter, which had participated in several comprehensive military exercises. The WZ-10 armed helicopter possesses good flight performance and ultra-low-altitude maneuvering characteristics. It can conduct round-the-clock operation on battlefield.
At the end of April, Army aviation troop units of the Chinese People's Liberation Army (PLA) organized its new-type armed helicopters to conduct an air confrontation drill in north China. The drill successfully tested the air combat tactics of the new-type armed helicopters under complex weather conditions.
