A render of a new Chinese attack helicopter has appeared online (photo). In our opinion, this is a further modernization of the Zhi-10 attack helicopter in service with the army aviation of the PLA ground forces.

An attack version of the heavy helicopter Zhi-20 (somewhere called Zhi-21) has appeared in the Chinese open spaces. As you can see in the photo, the side numbers on the equipment are painted over, so you can be 99% sure that the helicopters went into service with the combat units of the PLA army aviation.

Previously, we could have been mistaken in mistaking the new attack version of the Zhi-10 helicopter for the new attack version of the Zhi-20 heavy helicopter. It looks like everything has fallen into place now.
