Please... shut up a little you guys. No one cares who uses it, they care that Italy made it, and that it frikkin owns. Althout personally, my add-ons to the Tiger Attack helicopter would beat any of this xD

For example, it would have stealth technology like the canceled RAH-66 was supposed to, and it would feature a new, 1/2 roter design which I, as far as I've seen, am the only who's ever thought of.

The A-129 uses same tecnologies (which you call stealth ) of the tiger .

Actually the A-129 is at its 3rd generation ,that meant: more upgraded ,more fitted and fixed stuffs ,more power and new toys .

this chopper is both of us (Turkey and İtalia) and ı think it will be fantastic. we use same chopper in the UN and this project gets as close ı thing this will be a good friendship :D

[jag3rnaut]

Italy uses this chopper from 1989 ,you just bought is as a product .

a129 is the ferrari among the choppers. light, fast and effective. apache is heavy but still effective...

@TheAzawakh Con i pochi soldi cha lo stato italiano dedica alla difesa è già un miracvolo che si abbia i Mangusta figurati acquistare i Mil 28 che non rispondono alle normative NATO.

@jag3rnaut

This version must have taken some doing. If memory serves me correctly the A129 originally was not designed to have a gun turret.

I think the A129 was only the third purpose-designed attack chopper after the Cobra and the Hind.

@mada674 ahhahahahahahhaha

MANGUSTA NO AGUSTA

[nektampines]

somehow, the italians have made a reliable and rather advanced workhorse combat chopper, compared to overpriced apaches and tiger, these proven mangustas is a good buy!

@kartal64so ka-50 is better then this

@jag3rnaut

I've always wondered how well the gun works and how many rounds it can carry, seeing as it was originally designed not to have a gun at all.

I'm trying to recall I once saw years ago a photograph of an A129 variant that had a rather awkward-looking .50 caliber gun turret stuck on it.

@wannadrinkup

Well, I believe the A129 has the distinction of being the first true attack helicopter that wasn't either American or Russian.

Now, there are more attack helicopter designs than you can shake a stick at.
