As the Chinese Martial Arts-10 armed helicopter took the lead in the maritime assault exercise of the 81st Army, does China still need to introduce an advanced heavy armed helicopter such as the Ka-52 from Russia? If China does not intend to introduce corresponding weapons and equipment from Russia, what kind of improvements do they need to make to their own military-10 to meet their needs for armed helicopter ? Let’s analyze this issue why China does not need to introduce the Card-52 from Russia.

As the most advanced heavy armed helicopter that China once wanted to introduce, the Ka-52 not only has heavy armor, but also can also carry heavy cannons and up to 24 high-performance anti-tank missiles, so that it can have the ability to annihilate the enemy's armored platoons and even armored battalions in a single aircraft, but the Ka-52 helicopter Although it has strong firepower and strong armor, under the current characteristic that the offensive capabilities of many countries in the world far exceed their defense capabilities, it will also be threatened by enemy individual air defense missiles and small and medium-caliber self-propelled anti-aircraft guns. Even if Russia urgently upgrades all the electronic and infrared defense facilities on the Ka-52 heavy armed helicopter they equipped, this heavy armed helicopter is still subject to a fatal threat on the Ukrainian battlefield.

, but these individual air defense missiles and small-caliber air defense guns that can be regarded as serious threat to the Ka-52 armed helicopter may not necessarily be a problem for China: the Rainbow series and Winglong series drones have perfectly avoided the strike range of medium and low-altitude individual air defense missiles and small-caliber air defense guns with their own flight altitude of about 7 to 10 kilometers, and with the help of their relatively petite size and the air-to-ground anti-armored missiles it carries far exceeds the opponent's range, it can instead restrain the non-aircraft gun integrated air defense system that does not carry missiles and .
, and the smaller cruise missile or mother-child cruise missile, are more serious threats to air defense infantry due to their own cost, smaller size and difficult to detect. Therefore, under the premise that China has safer, more effective and cheaper response methods for enemy light infantry, unarmored vehicles and heavy armored combat vehicles, China now does not need to equip heavy armed helicopters specifically for various types of armored and non-armored battlefield vehicles.
As China's Winglong 2 drone
plus the equipment price of Ka-52 is enough to allow China to equip 10 or even more Winglong 2 drones at the same time. Compared with a expensive and heavy Ka-52, 10 times the number of Winglong 2 drones can not only provide higher firepower delivery efficiency, but also control a wider battlefield space. Besides, even if the enemy's air defense firepower is extremely powerful, it can pose a fatal threat to the Ka-52 and the Winglong 2, the existence of 10 Winglong drones is enough to prove that their survivability when facing extreme environments is far stronger than the single Ka-52.
Therefore, China does not need to actively develop heavy armed helicopters, but focuses more on light reconnaissance armed helicopters that can effectively fill the gap in the discovery performance of the Winglong 2 drone: light low-altitude flight drones like the Z-19 can effectively discover high-hidden high-value targets that are difficult to detect by using low-altitude detection methods, so that these high-altitude killers can use anti-tank missile or other relatively suitable attack methods to attack them. On the premise that the Z-19 itself does not need to undertake attack tasks, even the performance of the Ka-52 that needs to be used as a key indicator is unnecessary for Chinese armed helicopters, which means that heavy helicopters such as the Ka-52 are not within the scope of China's current military system of the army, so China does not need to spend a lot of money to develop and introduce such heavy armed helicopters.
