OH-58C KIOWA/ OH-58D KIOWA WARRIOR
The Kiowa and Kiowa Warrior have served the US Army admirably for a number of years, but when more advanced models went into service, the existing fleet was sold to police forces and later corporate security forces. Therefore this helo is very likely to be seen by 'punks everywhere.
Military models come with little armor protection (as if the military models do, either), and only a radio and bright searchlight. Multi-nationals interested in a weapons platform use the OH-58D, which can mount a heavy machinegun, Hellfire or TOW II-C misslies, and 2.75 inch rockets. The 58D also has a mast mounted sensor suite See below for details.
