Chinese militiary equipments are at least 25 yrs behind US. Man, I would be shame to show off such old and almost obsolete piece of junk.

In fact, versions of this helicopter are currently used in at least 50 countries including the United States.

Jee let me think the Blackhawk, Huey and SeaKing are about the same age as those helicopters, but the American are quite happy in using them for both military and civilian rescue purposes.... Or is the American also using obsolete junks...

Chinese military helicopter can lands in PLA areas in Hong Kong but not allowing to land anywhere without HK government's go ahead under it's basic law.

Your'e correct, that's the PLA HQ - before 1997 it was the British army HQ and the building formerly called the Prince of Wales building. Shame us British gone!!!

China just is recieving whats left of the stealth chopper that malfunctioned in bin laden deal,while the chopper was blown up parts remain and now china has them to copy as china has no such technology. Recall how Old communist russia copied the B-52 back in the 1950s.

@wjli2 Oh come off it, all of you. It's not obsolete if it's still the best thing for the job.

The government compound you mention looks like the headquarters of the PLA Hong Kong garrison...

@tommyn79 hey bro don't even say that do you know how much military shit we have sold to china? not to mention all the tech they have bought from other countries and the engineering they have contracted from some of our military contractors. an attack helicopter is an attack helicopter its not complex electronics weapons and engines can always be upgraded. there is no reason why the zw-10 is not on par with any of the other major attack choppers out there.

@ilivetocomment you could say the same for any of the larger populated countries. the fact that the we have wide demographic makes it hard to standardize education. some more rural areas as populated as they are won't raise as much taxes as say a developed metropolitan area and some public sectors suffer including public education. US public schools vary greatly in quality and even some developed areas suffer in public education funding where others prosper end quote.
