New Chinese Helicopter

The latest version of the Super Frelon has been configured to look like an S92? Obviously much simpler and faster than designing and certifying a new model, let's make an updated derivative, but they may be dismayed about; "The Z-8L helicopter appears to share some similarity with the American S-92 featuring large sponsons (external fuel tanks) on both sides of the fuselage. Consequently, its internal cargo space has been largely increased."

Those tanks don’t look that big and won’t give much endurance for a 3 engine aircraft unless it still has some internals?
