Design work on the Agusta A129 Mangusta began in the late 1970s at the request of the Italian ground forces, which sought a relatively light attack helicopter. Many components already proven in the Agusta A109 machine were used to accelerate research and development. It is worth noting that when designing the A129, the emphasis was on the small size of the machine and its maneuverability, and not on powerful armor or very high survivability of light anti-aircraft weapons. A total of four main modifications of this helicopter were created: A129 Mangusta (the first production version), A129 Mangusta International (or AW129 - the export version, with new engines and a deck gun in the nose of the fuselage).
