Hello all!
Why doesn't anyone make helicopter A-129 Mangusta & A-129 Mangusta CBT (with 20mm cannon)?

Apart from the engine placement, I don't see it myself. Looks a bit more like an Apache that's lost a bit of weight to me  :)

It looks more like the Eurocopter than anything else.

Or the Eurocopter looks like the Mangusta since it was developed first ;)

Looks ALOT like an apache... But kinda like an apcahe combined with a cobra. Have you ever seen an AH-1W Super Cobra?
