Did China Just Clone a Black Hawk Helicopter?

China conducted the first flight test of its new Z-20, which has a similar exterior to the US-made Black Hawk.

Congrats, China. You've developed a Blackhawk. 35 years after we did. Hope you're still enjoying 8-track tape players too.

Ya think they might have gotten a present from the Paks?

When you can afford to clone, clone the very best.

expect the US military to replace or do some major cosmetic changes to the blackhawk in short order.

the russians tried to kidnap SF teams in vietnam using MI-4 helicopters, I wouldn't put it past the chinese to try the same trick with these.

And the same people claim the AK was not a clone of the Stg-44. Commies can only copy. Remember Hugo Schmeisser was a POW assigned to assist Kalashnikov in designing the AK.
