How many times you gonna make this thread?
They couldn't because the Soviets wouldn't sell it to them and by the time Russia was willing to trade the Hind was outdated and Chinks had enough experience with French helicopters to design their own stuff.
They worked with the French for a few years by building some licensed Ecureils and Fennecs.
Then around the 90's they started working with Kamov for a new attack helicopter, but somewhere around the development they had a fallout with Kamov and decided to do it alone.
I think their first indigenous design was the Z-9, but don't quote me on that.

Actuaally i just realized that the Z-19 is just a heavily modified Dauphin.
Pretty neat ngl.

Z-9 was a Dauphin, the Z-10 was their first original design. we know the about their collaborations with other companies (Kamov, Eurocopter, AgustaWestland, Pratt & Whitney, Denel) but how much work they actually did and how much of that accounted for the final product is hard to know
Dunno, why don't you just look at your replies the other ten times you asked this question?

The Mi-24 is a dead end that China wouldn't want or need. Making a hybrid gunship and transport just lessens the potential of both roles. In Afghanistan, their largest and longest deployment, they were almost exclusively used as pure gunships with Mi-8s operating as transports, and if that's the case you'd do much better with something that actually *is* a pure gunship. Combat experience led them to move on to the Mi-28 and the Ka-52.
because the idea of a flying bmp is kinda shit, it's easier to just bomb an entire area and land in it with a Mi-8 than do risky fly-by drops
and it took the russians 2 wars to realise that
They were studied up and bulked up on close support fixed wing from early on and some general likely drew a line at Mi-8 for synergistic reasons. Seems sensible. Mi-8 can cross-task I bet they did that.
They didn't really do much heli shit till we sold them Blackhawks. HIND would have also followed the Sino-Soviet split
china has a hind in one of their aviation museums
yo mama
Because you touch yourself at night.
because it's garbage
too asymmetrical
Yuck
so cool
>booba
they just don't really need it in their doctrine, they more want to copy american helicopter design concepts.

Why didn't China copy this?
They're even building eight Wasp-class ripoffs
they were going to buy a bunch of harriers until the whole tiananamen fun party happened
Say what you want about chinks but the Z-10 is /k/ino.
that's not how it looks in bf2
they did their best, probably had to compromise on appearance for the pc specs of the time. not to mention it wasn't in service
thats a mangusta
what the FRICK YOU'RE RIGHT HOW DID I NEVER NOTICE IT BEFORE
looks deformed
I don't like that they're black
Navy uses grey/blue-ish.
Racist

they didn't even have an attack helicopter until 2012
A purpose-built, yea no.
But they fricked around with armed Fennecs and Ecureils in the pasy.

chinks only copy good things. hind was not one of them
Engine too complicated.
