So whats the deal with both the WZ-10 and WZ -19? One more suited for Naval Op as in the USMC sticking with the Cobra over the Apache? Or we looking at Light Recce Bird vs a Heavy Weight Attack type helo? Interested in why two new attack helo types?

I am thinking export market, since the Z-9 family does enjoy curtain export successes ranging from Pakistan to Kanya and not all of the existing costumers can afford the WZ-10. Since WZ-19 is based on the Z-9, adopting it should be less expensive than the WZ-10. It will be make an excellent addition to any COIN operations.
