by Alessandra Giovanzanti

Chinese state-owned Aviation Industry Corporation of China (AVIC) released footage suggesting that it is developing an armed, aerial refuelling-capable variant of the Harbin Aircraft Industry Group (HAIG) Z-20 medium multirole helicopter.

On 31 January, the company released a promotional video that showed computer-generated images of an armed variant of the Z-20 featuring two short wings, each equipped with four missiles, a rocket launcher, and what seems to be a refuelling probe to the right side of the helicopter's nose.
