Chinese Z-21 VS U.S. Apache: Turboshaft 10, aerodynamic layout, stealth, situational awareness 

The Z-21, a new armed helicopter modified on the Z-20 platform, was recently exposed for the first time, ending China's history of lacking heavy-duty armed helicopters. The video comprehensively introduces the Z-21 from the perspective of the turboshaft 10 engine, aerodynamic layout, noise radar invisibility, crash resistance, and situational awareness of photoelectric and millimeter wave radars. Compared with the Apache, which first flew in 1975, and has been regarded as the benchmark for armed helicopters since its birth, the Z-21 has enabled China to have a heavy-duty armed helicopter comparable to the Apache, and it uses a large number of existing components of the Z-20 It will help accelerate research and development, reduce research and development risks, and is planned to be put into service within two to three years. The Z-21 will surely become the new sharp sword for the Army Aviation Force to defeat the "fifth space" and the killer weapon for the Navy's amphibious assault force to seize islands across the sea and land on them.
