The Chinese Z-20 and the US Black Hawk may have similar appearances, but their capacities are more distinct.
China's domestically developed Z-20 utility helicopter has surpassed the US' Black Hawk, as it has adopted many advanced technologies the Black Hawk does not have, said the chief designer of the Chinese chopper on state broadcaster China Central Television (CCTV).
China's helicopters haven't gotten the same attention as its missiles or warships, but those helos could play a central role in an attack on Taiwan.
The Z-20, China’s latest domestically developed tactical utility helicopter, is now in service with the Chinese People’s Armed Police (PAP) Force, together with the larger, plateau-operable Z-8G transport helicopter, and this will enhance the mobility and flexibility of the armed police in tasks including anti-terrorist, disaster relief and emergency rescue missions, analysts said on Monday.
An armed, aerial refueling-capable variant of China's Z-20 medium-lift utility helicopter is believed to be currently under development after the aircraft's maker recently revealed concept art for such a chopper, observers said on Sunday.
