But the ME is supposed to be for export… usually China sells underperforming weapons for export such as PL-15E compared to the PL-15… this is rather confusing. I find it strange that China has the tech for fire and forget ATGMS but doesn’t use it on its Heli platforms.

Nah, China actually exports better vehicles than they use - look at the export IFVs with fire & forget missiles, while they don’t have any on their own (tracked) IFVs, with only the very modern Type 19 possibly receiving them.

Then you have the FK-1000 and FK-2000, which also seem superior to whatever air defence vehicles they are using. Their own CS/SA-5 has a 25 mm cannon and HN-6 (?) missiles, while the export variant has a 30 mm and missiles more similar to 2S6’s long range missiles.

VT4A1 with an APS, while they don’t have APS on any of their MBTs, VT5 with ERA side armor which they don’t use etc.

For ground vehicles i agree, in most cases. I also got confused over why the ZTZ99A doesn’t have a remotely controlled commander machine gun and APS since the VT4A1 has it… But when it comes to missiles and to planes we have the PL-15E that has confirmed less range than the PL-15…

Still these vehicles are technically Chinese, so the chances are we get to have them anyway.

Some of these vehicles are supposed to be adopted by the army in the future aren’t they?
At least the suggestion for the FK-2000 says quite clearly: “Currently China has yet to put the vehicle into mass production. Though after the reveal of the vehicle. The Chinese military has shown great interest in the design which has shown great results during testing. And in the end please the demands that China is demanding.”

So these aren’t “export only” platforms.

Are you looking for CM502KG

The official website of AVIC, I'm not sure if it's possible to view it

But is this used on the Z-10M? or has it just been displayed on the Z-10ME?

They can all use it.

That’s good news.

Well the number of Z10 in service I think is quite limited, since its mass production started in 2011 and Z10M first showed up in 2015.

So that would mean the number of Z-10M is greater than normal Z-10s?

Not necessarily, but the estimated number in total from many is no greater than 300-500(all Z10s) so it does make sense for them all to be able to carry Fire and Forget missile since the modification is minor.

It’d probably be way more historic if they copypasted some aircraft radar warning receiver made in the same era rather than the low fidelity RWR they’ve kept for over half a year.

Like at least give us IFF on the radar, I’m tired of looking over my shoulder thinking whatever pinging me is an enemy jet, only to find out it’s a teammate buzzing me, or having to look at my team roster to make sure that it’s not a friendly SPAA pinging me

Is there a bug report on it?

Yeah, I made a list here of current reports that are passed to the devs but they’re kinda just sitting on it because obviously they have better things to address
