The AH-6M Little Bird (nicknamed the "Killer Egg") is a class of light helicopters utilised primarily for special operations by the US Army. The prototype was designed to compete in US Army Technical Specification 153 in 1960 for a Light Observation Helicopter (LOH) that could perform personnel extraction, scouting, and light attacks to replace the existing Bell H-13 Sioux fleet. The Hughes Model 369 competed against two other prototypes, developed by Fairchild-Hiller and Bell, for a production contract. The Hughes Model 369 had its maiden flight on February 27, 1963. The teardrop-shaped fuselage provided excellent external visibility, and thanks to its four-bladed, fully articulated primary rotor, it was incredibly agile, making it excellent for personnel extraction, scouting, and light attacks. Hughes was given a production contract by the US Army in May 1965. A gunship variant, known as the AH-6, was painted black primarily for night-time operations.

Introduced in Update "Sky Guardians", the AH-6M is a twin-seat (gunner and pilot next to each other) light helicopter that can carry up to six passengers. With a diverse arsenal of weapons at its disposal, the AH-6M can conduct a wide range of missions ingame, from scouting to anti-armour. Its exceptional manoeuvrability and small size give it remarkable agility, and enable it to perform extreme evasive manoeuvres that most other helicopters cannot. With its thermal imaging device and ballistics computer, it can readily scout targets for the team and provide close air support with Hydra-70 M247 rockets when necessary. The AGR-20 Advanced Precision Kill Weapon System (APKWS), which converts standard unguided Hydra-70 M247 rockets into precision guided munitions, is also available for the AH-6M. This enables the helicopter to precisely eliminate lightly armoured targets from a distance, making it a more "economic" alternative while the AGM-114 Hellfire can be saved for heavier armoured adversaries.
