the Chinese army released a video showcasing the helicopter units from the 71st Army participating in sea skimming long-range assault mission practice.

It's quite obvious that this exercise aims at Taiwan, which has been a source of tension between China and the United States for a long time. The landing attempt by the Chinese helicopters will be much safer because they will be flying only 30 meters above water, making it harder to detect or intercept.

The key model of helicopters in this assault would be the latest Z-20 utility helicopter. It can deliver up to 13 soldiers with their gears to Taiwan island. This helicopter is a significant upgrade from its predecessor, and is considered to be one of the most advanced utility helicopters in the world. The Z-20 shares some design features with the US black hawk, but it is quite different from the black hawk, for example it has a totally different power source and 5-blade rotor, making this part nothing like a black hawk. Its avionics are also heavily improved aiming at the highest standard in the world. The Z-20 is also the platform for rescue missions if Chinese pilot is shot down and landed on Taiwan island.

The Chinese pilots describe there is high level of risk flying so long close to sea surface, but their helicopters might have upgraded controls to automatically avoid hitting water.

Various models of aircrafts participate in this practice, including the Z-10 attack helicopter and the Z-19 light attack helicopter. These helicopters are designed to provide close air support to the troops on the ground and are equipped with advanced weapons and sensors. The Z-10 and Z-19 can provide escort to the Z-20 fleet, destroying enemy bunkers, ships, tanks close to the shore, even disabling the command and control network. The two aircrafts can carry AKD-10 and AKD-9 anti-tank missiles, they are similar to the US hellfire missiles and can easily destroy Taiwanese main battle tanks and bunkers.

In addition to the Chinese-made helicopters, the video also showed Russian Mi-17 helicopters serving in the Chinese Army. These helicopters are also very important to the Army Aviation corp. Having this option means the Chinese Army can obtain more helicopters fairly quickly.

In conclusion, this recent development in the Chinese military has caught attention among international military observers. The Chinese military has been increasingly practicing assault on Taiwan island in the region, and this exercise seems to be part of that trend. While we can only speculate on what the Chinese plans are, it's clear that the military has prepared advanced combat hardware and software for the possible war.
