Light & Cheap, good for counter insurgency

nice, should go well with the AH-64 Apache.
these things aren't cheap think they are like in the $20,000 range a pop, but compared to a $100,000 Hellfire that's not bad
but I also wonder if the mk151 warhead is destructive enough as well.


the APKWS would be really suited for a small scout attack helicopter like MD 500 or AH-6i
