Survivability and armour

The armor on this helicopter consists of 20mm of composite AMAP-AIR surrounding the cockpit and protecting the pilot and gunner. Both the pilot and the gunner sit on 5mm thick kevlar seats. Finally, there is an additional 8mm of steel separating the the two engines.

The fuel and transmission sit in the middle of the aircraft, between the gunner and the engine. There is no armor protection for the transmission and fuel, and their placement in the middile of the helicopter make them vulnerable to enemy fire.
