Development

It's development started in 1998 as a conventional helicopter designed but due to the mission it was supposed to do it was decided that a double rotor would be more appropriate for the task than a conventional design, it's armament was adopted from the ones used for aircraft, making easy to store ammunition for it.
The testflight went smoothly only registering minor problems that were solved easily.
