As if the Pakis had any real interest in doing that.

An unbiased account of the QC of Chinese aircraft would be of great interest.

Common thinking is that you would be crazy to fly in stuff built by them, but who knows how good they are if they put their minds to it. The Russians certainly can do it right when they want to.

Probably many of ours like the Apache, the Cobra, and others designed by our military.
The Z10 was/is made with help from Eurocopter and Augusta. Both companies IIRC have worked for/or with our copters sold in Europe or used by our allies in Europe.

It looks like the bastard child of a Blackhawk and an Mi-24 Hind.

Not ours this time, this looks like a mix between the Eurocopter Tiger and the Augusta A129.
