Photo of the day: Z-19 in operational evaluation
With the 8th LH Regiment (Brigade??) near Baoding Hebei.
  It has been over a year since the first photo s the Z-19 (Z-9W  tandem-seat attack mod) surfaced on the Chinese internet and what  follows is a predictable speculation on rather the China Army would  adopter another attack chopper for its LH (Army Aviation) fleet.  This  latest photos of Z-19 in LH color seem to suggest that the LH is indeed  adopting a dual-track strategy.  Hopefully this will put an end to the  speculation.

With a narrower body but sharing most of the mechanicals of its civilian predecessor, the Z-19 is a much more capable combat chopper than even highly modified Z-9's.
This and a cheaper price tag than the Z-10 makes it the ideal low range attack copter for the PLA.
