Description
Attack Helicopters are heavily armed rotary-wing attack aircraft designed to hit hard or heavily armed targets. They are usually armed with auto-cannons and guided anti-tank missiles, in addition to being able to detect stealth units. Attack helicopters evade most radar detection by flying low altitude, Nap-of-the-Earth (NOE) courses that use geographical features such as valleys or ravines to avoid detection of SAM and TDS.

The Eurocopter Tiger is a resilient and well equipped all-composite multirole attack helicopter. The Tiger is both agile and stealthy, and has a high rate of survivability due to these characteristics.
