Is there a difference between China's Zhi -9 helicopter and American Apache?

The Z -9 light multi-purpose helicopter was developed and produced by Harbin Aircraft Manufacturing Company with the introduction of French patents. It can be used for personnel transportation, offshore support, maritime rescue, aerial photography, maritime patrol, fish observation, forest protection and fire prevention, etc., and can be used as carrier aircraft. Military uses include reconnaissance, close fire support, anti-tank, search and rescue, anti-submarine, reconnaissance and artillery correction, and communication. In October, 198, the State Council approved the exclusive contract for the production of French SA365 Dolphin helicopter by combining technology and trade. Hafei was specifically responsible for introducing the patent of French SA365N1 "Dolphin" helicopter, and began to produce Zhi -9. In 1982, the first aircraft was assembled. After Hafei's long-term efforts, it developed a number of types, including the basic straight -9, which was originally patented. By the end of 199, all 5 aircraft signed with France had been produced, of which 28 were basic straight-9; In addition, there are 2 straight -9A, which will continue to be produced after straight -9, equivalent to SA365N2；; Subsequently, Hafei produced two Zhi -9A-1 s, and initially tried the localization of Zhi -9 production. In September 1993, Hafei signed a contract with France to produce 22 Zhi -9 transition batches, and Hafei also produced 8 Zhi -9 civilian models.
