المشغّلون

France: Flown by French Army light aviation in Serval's opening engagements; withdrawn from the Sahel with the end of Barkhane.

الدور في ساحة المعركة

Serval's light attack helicopter in the January 2013 counter-offensive — low-level gun and missile runs against advancing jihadist columns in the campaign's opening engagements, where France took its first loss of the intervention.

نقاط القوة

Small, quick to deploy by transport aircraft and cheap to keep flying from austere strips; precise enough with the HOT missile and the 20 mm cannon to engage vehicles in the open, which is what the January 2013 engagements required.

مواطن القصور

No armour and no defensive systems: the pilot killed on 11 January 2013 was hit by small-arms fire during a low-level attack, and the type was soon overshadowed by the Tigre for armed escort. Historical only.

التعرّف البصري

A small, slim helicopter with a shrouded tail rotor set into the fin and a rounded glazed cabin; the fenestron tail is the identification.

الاستخدام الموثّق في النزاعات

Engaged the jihadist columns around Konna on 11 January 2013 in the opening hours of Serval; the French Ministry of the Armed Forces announced the loss of a pilot in that engagement, the intervention's first fatality. Historical only.
