Italian aircraft firm Leonardo has developed the AW249 as a replacement for the earlier Italian A129 helicopter gunship. While the A129 was similar to the first helicopter gunship, the American AH-1, the AW249 is more similar to the American AH-64, the successor to the AH-1. The AW249 took its first flight in August and is expected to enter service in 2025 and begin replacing the remaining A129s, which entered service in 1990.
