Historical and Technical Description:

The WZ-10 Thunderbolt is a modern assault helicopter developed by China. Its development began at the end of the 1990s, and it officially entered service with the People's Liberation Army Air Force (PLAAF) in 2010. The helicopter was designed to combat ground targets, including tanks and armored vehicles, but it also excels at eliminating aerial targets at low altitudes. The first operational uses took place during exercises and patrols on borders as well as in critical regions for China.
