The 2024 Singapore Airshow marks the first time Chinese state-owned companies had a full-scale military aircraft on static display at an air show outside the country.<\/i><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">SINGAPORE \u2014 China this week unveiled the export version of the signature attack helicopter by the People\u2019s Liberation Army at the Singapore Airshow here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Though China has participated in the biennial event in previous years, this marks the first time Chinese state-owned companies had a full-scale military aircraft on static display at an air show outside the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">China unveiled the Z-10ME at Airshow China 2021; some analysts have since compared it to Boeing\u2019s AH-64 Apache.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The PLA has used the helicopter for military exercises near Taiwan and India. More than 200 Z-10s and its numerous variations are in active service with the PLA, according to the Military Balance 2023 report from the International Institute for Strategic Studies think tank.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The attack helicopter was developed by Changhe Aircraft Industries and brought to the airshow by state-owned China National Aero-Technology Import &amp; Export Corp. and the Aviation Industry Corporation of China.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At this year\u2019s Singapore Airshow, the company displayed the export version, known as the Changhe Z-10-ME-02, alongside rocket launchers, GR5 guided rockets and air-to-air missiles CM-502KG and TY-90. Chinese delegates have not granted interviews or scheduled any media briefings about the helicopter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The helicopter can carry 23mm high-explosive incendiary ammunition and a 280kg drop tank. The aircraft is equipped with a mast-mounted radar, a missile approach warning system, and directional infrared countermeasure systems against heat-seeking (IR) missiles, according to Flight Daily News, the airshow\u2019s magazine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Previous iterations of the Changhe Z-10 have carried air-to-surface and larger air-to-air missiles such as the AIM-9 Sidewinder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Aside from China, the aircraft is being used by the Pakistan military. In 2022, Pakistan Army spokesperson Maj. Gen. Babar Iftikhar <a href=\"https:\/\/www.timesaerospace.aero\/features\/defence\/us-sanctions-deal-double-blow-to-tai-helicopter-sales\" target=\"_blank\">announced government plans<\/a> to procure Z-10ME attack helicopters to replace a previously signed deal for T129 attack helicopters from Turkey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While the government has not disclosed the number of helicopters ordered and the price, the Pakistan military reportedly received initial batches of the Z-10ME last year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>China this week unveiled the
