China experienced the Black Tornado


It is distinguished from Z-9 by a reduced noise level, a modified cabin design for reliable protection of pilots from frontal attacks and a number of improvements to prevent foreign objects from getting into the propellers when flying at low altitude. The machine is equipped with a bulletproof fuel tank. It is noted that the "Black Tornado" surpasses many helicopters in its class in speed and maneuverability.

Z-19E is designed to defeat light and heavy armored vehicles on the battlefield, suppress enemy fire points, support ground forces, and can also be used to intercept low-flying targets.

The armament carried by the helicopter includes air-to-air, air-to-ground missiles and machine guns.

According to the People's Daily, the developers plan to supply the Black Tornado for export. For this, many of its parameters and options may be changed by the manufacturer in accordance with the wishes of the customer.

      This is the maximum. Although the engines are really not very powerful.

      Now the trend is bulletproof booking of pilots by 3 (not a capsule, but just bulletproof glass and a seat) and that’s all. But guided weapons, wide network capabilities in operation through UAVs / other board, excellent night work capabilities.
