China's Bold Move: Chinese Helicopter Challenges US Navy — What Happened Next 🚁

In one of the most lopsided aerial encounters in recent memory, a Chinese Z-10 attack helicopter attempted to intimidate a US Navy MH-60R "Romeo" operating legally in international airspace. What followed was a 72-minute showcase of why American naval aviation dominates the skies. The Romeo wasn't just sightseeing, it was tracking a Chinese diesel submarine and running its advanced sensor suite, including the AN/APS-153 radar and AN/ALQ-210 electronic warfare system. As the Z-10 repeatedly tried to force a reaction, the Romeo calmly recorded every radar frequency, heat signature, and communication protocol - turning the engagement into an intelligence goldmine. From electronic jamming that rendered the Z-10's fire control radar useless, to close-range standoffs where the Romeo's GAU-21 door guns and Hellfire missiles had every advantage, the US crew maintained complete control. By the end, America had effectively solved the Z-10's capabilities for future combat. This is the inside story of how superior training, technology, and strategy can turn an attempted intimidation into a decisive information victory.
