New Chinese heavyweight combat helicopter

The resemblance to these 2 types of helicopters is most likely not random. In 2013, an average Z-20 combat field support chopper was flown in China, which is an unquestionably American S-70 clone. The Chinese acquired civilian versions of the Black Hawks in the 1980s, even before the events in Tiananmen Square. At that time, the People's Republic of China warmed its contacts with the West and gained many civilian and even military technologies (also French Dauphin and Frelon helicopters or OPL Crotale systems).
