Another of the Martlet-toting AW159 on trials at Yeovil earlier this month. I was grinning like a Cheshire Cat behind the camera for this! pic.twitter.com/uDzZzvBQ0U— Tom Jones (@athetommyj) December 26, 2019
We talked about this one before. It's carrying missiles that are sized right between the 2.75 and 5in rockets. It's carrying a total of 20 of these bad boys. If these are precision weapons then JUST MAYBE its something that the AH-1Z should be looking to add to it's arsenal.
Those wings are pretty funky looking though. Could an AH-1Z carry as many? Eyeballing it I can't be sure. Could using these to make the UH-1Y into a surrogate gunship work? Depending on how they're attached could this be the system that the MV-22 is searching for?
