The Z-19 is a Chinese light scout and attack helicopter. It was locally developed by Harbin. The Z-19 is essentially a tandem-seat version of the Z-9W, which in turn is a license-built version of the Eurocopter AS365 Dauphin. However, this helicopter also shares some resemblance with the Japanese OH-1. The Z-19 made its first flight in 2011 and was publicly revealed in 2012. This helicopter is in service with the Chinese army aviation regiment. It operates alongside the dedicated Z-10 attack helicopter.

The Z-19 is lightly armoured. Both pilots are seated on crash-resistant seats. This scout and attack helicopter is equipped with a nose-mounted FLIR, TV and laser rangefinder.
