Upvote Button

The AH-121 Dardo (Dart) is the direct response to the deployment of its Eastern counterparts, such as the Mi-24 Hind, and the Ka-50/52.
The Dardo is an Italian twin-turboshaft attack helicopter with a tailwheel-type landing gear arrangement and a tandem cockpit for a crew of two. It features a nose-mounted sensor suite for target acquisition.

Armament:

It is armed with a 20 mm gatling cannon carried under the aircraft's forward fuselage, and four hardpoints mounted on stub-wing pylons for carrying armament and stores, typically a mixture of ATGMs and rocket pods (in this case, 8 Akula AT-35 Lancer Infrared Guided Missiles, and RKT-14 Rockets).

The AH-121 has significant systems redundancy to improve combat survivability.

It is also equipped with IR Countermeasures.


This aircraft features a fully working cockpit.

    @LeonardoEngineering
    Would you be able to install a 30mm cannon in the place of the standard 20mm?
    Would you be able to plumb two hardpoints to carry external fuel tanks as well as weapons (not at the same time)?

    @Tang0five thank you!
    I actually took a lot of inspiration from the A129 Mangusta, and by a lot I mean that this could be a licensed version.
