French Tiger HAD Attack Helicopters Will Carry Hellfire II Missile

摘要

On the basis of commonality with other NATO air arms, let us remember here that the government of France officially selected Lockheed Martin's AGM-114 Hellfire II missile system to equip its HAD Tiger attack helicopter fleet in 2006. The precision-strike missile is to be procured under a foreign military sale for the French Army, which will field a total of 40 Tigers after 2016. The initial fielding of the Hellfire II in France is expected to be completed by 2012 using both the "Kilo" and "Mike" variants of the AGM-114.
