BEIRUT, LEBANON (1:20 P.M.) – A new video clip posted this week shows a Chinese long-range guided missile launch from the Z-10 attack helicopter.
In the video shown by CCTV 13, the viewer can see how long-range missiles are fired from their helicopter and their launch process.
The missiles successfully hit all ground targets. According to the Dambiev Journal, this is presumably a missile called the Blue Arrow 21 (BA-21), which was first presented at the Zhuhai Air Show in 2018.
The missile is believed to have a working range of about 18 kilometers and is oriented with a two-channel guidance system.
The Dambiev Journal indicated that the missile may differ slightly from the one that appeared in 2018 at the Zhuhai Air Show.
It has a slightly different configuration. They concluded that this missile would be used to arm Chinese drones.
