Z-10 is a modern Chinese attack helicopter, equipped with infrared equipment, cannon, anti-tank missiles and air-to-air missiles. For many years, the country promoted it as a product of its own research and manufacture. However, the first time the curtain of truth was revealed. In fact, Russia is the author of the first drawings to form China's Z-10 attack helicopter. This has shattered previous information from China that Z-10 is the complete product of this country to research and produce. If Turkey's T-129 was produced because of US intervention and could not be handed over to Pakistan, it would be a good signal for China's Z-10 helicopter. In the past years, Turkey's defense industry has grown very well, including weapons contracts with Pakistan. However, given the current stressful situation, the US will most likely prevent Turkey from exporting US-made weapons. The specific case here is the export contract to Pakistan produced by Turkey's T-129 attack helicopter, because the helicopter installed a number of American-origin equipment.
Z-10 is said to be the same class as AH-2 Rooivalk and A-129 Mangusta but it is still far from catching up with the AH-64 of the United States.
