Reported upgrades include: new cockpit armored panels new, Iranian-designed canopy new avionics nose-mounted camera new cockpit design The upgraded attack helicopter has a narrower airframe for greater flexibility and is armed with an M197 three-barreled 20-mm Gatling-type cannon in the A/A49E turret.
