Z-9

Description

The Z-9 is a Chinese copy of the Eurocopter Dauphin. It is available as a civilian VIP transport, military troop carrier, and gunship.

PRIMAL Assessment

A modern, quality, clone of an excellent platform, the Z-9 can be configured as a formidable gunship mounting cannons and guided missiles. Its countermeasures suite is a generation behind the latest Western kits, a weakness PRIMAL could exploit with modern man-portable surface-to-air missiles.
