Description
While waiting for the delivery of 20 ordered HKP9A helicopters, the Swedish test centre Försökscentralen (FC) rented four BO 105 CB-3 helicopters from MBB in 1985. Three were used for flight testing and tactics development and were later returned, while one was used for weapons systems testing and was later purchased and joined the Swedish Air Force as the 21st HKP9A helicopter. It was notably equipped with a modernised Saab HeliTOW complex with an additional FLIR thermal sight.
The HKP9A (FC) was introduced in Update "Wind of Change". Unlike its predecessor, it has new BGM-71D TOW-2 ATGMs, capable of destroying almost any MBT encountered in battle head-on. In addition, the helicopter is equipped with an improved aiming complex with a thermal imager, which significantly improves target detection on the battlefield both in normal daylight and nighttime conditions. In all other respects, it remains as small, manoeuvrable, and unarmoured as its predecessor.

Armaments
Night vision devices
Improves visibility by enhancing natural light or active illumination.
Thermal imager
Allows to see thermal radiation in the infrared range day and night
Suspended armament
The HKP9A (FC) can be outfitted with the following ordnance:
- 4 x RB 55C Heli TOW missiles
- 2 x RB 55C Heli TOW missiles + 1 x 12.7 mm FN M3P machine gun (400 rpg)
- 2 x 12.7 mm FN M3P machine guns (400 rpg = 800 total)
Usage in battles
Describe the tactics of playing in a helicopter, the features of using the helicopter in a team and advice on tactics. Refrain from creating a "guide" - do not impose a single point of view, but instead, give the reader food for thought. Examine the most dangerous enemies and give recommendations on fighting them. If necessary, note the specifics of the game in different modes (AB, RB, SB).
Pros and cons
Pros:
- Great agility - one of the most manoeuvrable helicopters in the game
- Small profile
- Access to Thermal Imaging
- Great stock performance - comes with full missile payload stock
- Countermeasure-resistant missiles
Cons:
- Weak powerplant - slow climb and top speed
- Small missile payload
- Poor survivability
- Lacklustre air-to-air protection - only has access to optional 12.7 mm machine guns
- Missiles require manual guidance
- Small firing window - helicopter must be pointed at the target to guide effectively
- No radar warning receiver (RWR)
History
Describe the history of the creation and combat usage of the helicopter in more detail than in the introduction. If the historical reference turns out to be too long, take it to a separate article, taking a link to the article about the vehicle and adding a block "/History" (example: https://wiki.warthunder.com/(Vehicle-name)/History) and add a link to it here using the main template. Be sure to reference text and sources by using <ref></ref>, as well as adding them at the end of the article with <references />. This section may also include the vehicle's dev blog entry (if applicable) and the in-game encyclopedia description (under === In-game description ===, also if applicable).
