Eurocopter Tiger is a twin-engine attack helicopter of German, Spanish and Italian production, has a metal structure of a classic layout with a main rotor and a tail rotor on a beam. In the basic version, the drive is provided by two Rolls-Royce / MTU 390 engines with a capacity of 1183 hp. each one The flight of the first prototype took place in 1991, and serial production, which began only in 2002, continues to this day. At the moment (2017), it is estimated that approx. 100 copies of this helicopter were produced. The Eurocopter Tiger was created in response to a competition announced in 1984 by the defense ministries of France and Germany for a new attack helicopter for the armies of both countries. In order to reduce costs, a consortium of Aerospatiale and MBB was created. In the course of serial production, four specialized development versions were created, which are produced - so far - in relatively short batches. One of them is the UHT version, which is used by the German army as an anti-tank helicopter. Interestingly, this version has no plot. Another version of the HAP is used by the French and Spanish armies as a direct support and escort helicopter. In general, all versions of the Eurocopter Tiger are very similar to each other and differ mainly in weapons and avionics. Eurocopter Tiger were used in the battles in Afghanistan by France.
