A-129 Mangusta
Notes: The Mangusta (mongoose) is a product of a multinational attack helicopter program. The A-129 is the primary attack helicopter of Italy. No ejection seats are provided, and the helicopter is not capable of in-flight refueling.
The A-129 IMR (International Multi-Role) is an upgraded version of the Mangusta. Improvements include a standard chin turret with a rotary autocannon, more powerful engines, 5-bladed rotor, and upgraded avionics.
Twilight 2000 Notes: The IMR exists only in small numbers, although the dwindling production of the Mangusta quickly changed almost completely over to IMR production.
Merc 2000 Notes: Most international customers of the Mangusta bought the IMR, once it was available.
