The company's portfolio is extensive and is expanding every day. Some of the products and solutions are publicly shown during such events as the tradeshows, such as MSPO. During the MSPO 2021 Works 11 will pres- ent multiple systems and solutions. MD HELICOPTERS Probably one of the most attractive and eye-catching MSPO 2021 exhibits is the MD Helicopters MD 500 hel- icopter developed from OH-6 Cayuse, famous "Loach" from the Vietnam War Era. This small but ubiquitous hel- icopter is commonly used, in its AH-6/MH-6 Little Bird (the Killer Egg) light attack variant, as the special forces means of transport in high-density urban areas or as a sniper overwatch platform by famous 160th SOAR Night Stalkers to deliver US SOF personnel. This single-engine helicopter with five-bladed main rotor delivers the highest speed, payload and productivity and its class and might be armed with wide array of combat equipment such as externally mounted cannon, machine guns, 70 mm rock- et launchers or even AGM-114 Hellfire anti-tank missiles or FIM-92 Stingers! Polish Special Forces definitely lack such lightweight helicopters and MD 500 might be an ex- cellent answer to this need. 65 www.fragoutmag.com DEFENSE INDUSTRY
