| Summary / Abstract (Note) | China has the world's second largest defence budget next only to the US and with the future looking upbeat tor China's economy and for its military spending, defense manufacturers and contractors the world over are eyeing the Chinese military helicopter market. Meanwhile, the types being produced as "indigenous" lag behind the leading edge of helicopter technology as extant in the Western world. It the US relents over the arms embargo, there could be a signilicant change in the tenor and texture of China's military helicopter fleet, with implications for a possible future Sino-Indian armed conflict. |
