History: Developed from the base Z-10 platform by Changhe Aircraft Industries Corporation (CAIC), the Z-10K variant was tailored for the airborne units of the PLAAF. First entering service in the mid-2010s, it is part of China’s modernisation of its air-mobile forces. Its public debut in 2016 marked a significant moment in demonstrating China’s ability to deploy dedicated attack helicopters within airborne formations. The Z-10K continues to serve as a flexible and lethal rotary-wing asset, capable of performing close air support, anti-armour, and armed reconnaissance missions in complex environments.
