As for air combat, it is simply not considered.
Back then, the Empire Army tested combat missiles on helicopters, not to counter helicopters, but to counter attack aircraft also operating at ultra-low altitudes.
If necessary, they also need to be used against fighter jets.
It can be seen that helicopters were merely given a barely adequate self-defense capability.
During the Boi War, the Empire Army's helicopters never encountered any airborne threats!
Moreover, when designing the "Z-10," many new technologies, or rather new tactical concepts, had not yet emerged, so they could not be adopted by the designers.
The most typical of these is stealth.
Stealth combat aircraft, represented by the "Attack-11," were developed only after the "Z-10" design was completed, and it was proven through actual combat, which happened four years ago.
The result is that the "Z-10" did not consider stealth at all.
