AH-6j Little BirdPhoto of a AH-6j 'Little Bird' attack helicopter parked up with a set of towing wheels in front. The Ah-6j is the US Army's 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment's (SOAR) light attack helicopter. This AH-6j is armed with 2x M260 7-tube 70mm rocket pods on its outer pylons. The spare spaces on the inner pylons are often filled with 2x M134 7.62mm miniguns. This mixture of rockets and machine guns allows these agile choppers to quickly lay down a heavy barrage of concentrated fire.
