Airbus Tiger (Eurocopter Tiger)

The Airbus Tiger (formerly Eurocopter Tiger) is a twin-engine, four-blade attack helicopter developed jointly by France and Germany. It serves as a dedicated armed reconnaissance and anti-tank platform for several European and Australian forces. Known for its composite material airframe, advanced avionics, and high survivability, it is equipped for a variety of roles, including close air support and escort missions. Its primary armament consists of a chin-mounted gun, air-to-air missiles, and potent anti-tank guided missiles.

Military aviation enthusiasts and analysts are interested in the Tiger as a key European combat helicopter, representing multinational cooperation and a modern alternative to contemporaries like the Apache.
