Gazelles with Tow? Lynx', sure.


I know the French have armed Gazelles with HOT missiles in the past,
roof mounted sight and all, analogous with the AH.1 Lynxs, but I've
never heard of anything heavier than a pintle mounted GPMG on an AAC
Gazelle, and that in itself is very rare IIRC.

Yugoslav SA 342 Gazelles carry FOUR "maljutka" (Sagger?) improved missiles
(CLOS instead of the manual guidance). It also carries two SA-7 AA missiles.
