Zhi -20 turned into an armed helicopter?

Speaking of armed helicopters in China, many people know Wuzhi-10 and Wuzhi-19. More often, netizens regard Zhi -20 as a "helicopter transport plane". As a new generation of tactical general-purpose helicopter in China, it would be a pity if the Zhi -20 is limited to transportation.

According to an interview with the pilot of the Zhi -20 helicopter, the Zhi -20 helicopter will usher in an important turning point-installing a variety of weapon systems. The modified Zhi -20 can not only perform close air support and escort missions, but also perform ground attack missions, and its combat capability will be further improved. It's true that our Zhi -20 turned into an armed helicopter.

In fact, whether at home or abroad, it is nothing new for tactical utility helicopters to be equipped with weapons to enhance their combat capability. There is a rectangular projection on the door on both sides of Zhi -20, which is the reserved interface for the external rack. Some analysts believe that it is only the beginning for the Zhi -20 tactical utility helicopter to install a weapon pylon and transform it into an armed helicopter to enhance its combat effectiveness. If our army wants to improve the combat effectiveness of Zhi -20, it must install photoelectric fire control system.

If the airborne weapon wants to hit the target more accurately, it must need laser ranging and target recognition system to support the advanced cabin electronic system, which is also essential. From the perspective of future battlefield development, the development of naval and air force equipment needs rapid iteration to win by performance. Which country can iterate weapons faster and more efficiently, then it can have higher combat effectiveness.

In terms of advanced fighters, China Air Force has developed a new generation of advanced fighters represented by the fifth generation stealth fighter J -20, including Yun -20 transport plane and J-16 multi-role fighter. Although there are already Zhi-10 and Zhi-19 armed helicopters, if Zhi -20 can also be transformed into an armed helicopter, it will have stronger combat effectiveness.

From the action of China Air Force to upgrade Zhi -20 helicopter, we can also see that the improvement of combat effectiveness has been regarded as an important indicator of the development of the contemporary army. Although in a short time, our weapons and equipment are still a little behind the United States, at the current development speed, it is also the general trend to catch up with and surpass the United States.

After all, China's current economic and military influence is very important in the world, so it will advance steadily according to the established pace.
