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 is an attempt to copy the apache style of gunship at least thats what they say on TV ;D
looks neat though

Size-wize, it reminds me of the Eurocopter Tiger too.

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?
