The Attack Helicopter System is a rank Swedish attack helicopter with a battle rating of (AB), (RB), and (SB). It was introduced in Update "Wind of Change".
General info
Flight performance
Describe how the helicopter behaves in the air. Speed, manoeuvrability, acceleration and allowable loads - these are the most important characteristics of the vehicle.
| Characteristics | Max Speed (km/h at 1,000 m) |
Max altitude (metres) | |

Survivability and armour
- 22mm bulletproof glass - infront of pilot
- 20mm kevlar boron carbide - Seats for gunner and pilot
- 20mm kevlar boron carbide - gunners floor and infront of pilot
Theres not alot of armour to protect the crew, the only bulletproof window is seperating the gunner and pilot.
It uses the composit armour, kevlar boron carbine to protect the grew from shrapnel from behind and bellow.
There is no more armour on this aircraft.

The AHS is armed with:
- A choice between three presets:
- 1 x 30 mm M230E-1 cannon (1,200 rpg)
- 1 x 30 mm M230E-1 cannon + 30 x countermeasures
- 1 x 30 mm M230E-1 cannon + 30 x countermeasures + IRCM
Suspended armament
The AHS can be outfitted with the following ordnance:
- Without load
- 76 x Hydra-70 M247 rockets
- 8 x AGM-114B Hellfire missiles
- 4 x AGM-114B Hellfire missiles + 38 x Hydra-70 M247 rockets
- 8 x AGM-114B Hellfire missiles + 38 x Hydra-70 M247 rockets
- 16 x AGM-114B Hellfire missiles
- 2 x RB 74 missiles
- 4 x ATAS (AIM-92) missiles
- 38 x Hydra-70 M247 rockets + 2 x RB 74 missiles
- 76 x Hydra-70 M247 rockets + 4 x ATAS (AIM-92) missiles
- 4 x AGM-114B Hellfire missiles + 2 x RB 74 missiles
- 8 x AGM-114B Hellfire missiles + 4 x ATAS (AIM-92) missiles
- 8 x AGM-114B Hellfire missiles + 2 x RB 74 missiles
- 16 x AGM-114B Hellfire missiles + 4 x ATAS (AIM-92) missiles
Usage in battles
Describe the tactics of playing in a helicopter, the features of using the helicopter in a team and advice on tactics. Refrain from creating a "guide" - do not impose a single point of view, but instead, give the reader food for thought. Examine the most dangerous enemies and give recommendations on fighting them. If necessary, note the specifics of the game in different modes (AB, RB, SB).
Pros and cons
Summarise and briefly evaluate the vehicle in terms of its characteristics and combat effectiveness. Mark its pros and cons in the bulleted list. Try not to use more than 6 points for each of the characteristics. Avoid using categorical definitions such as "bad", "good" and the like - use substitutions with softer forms such as "inadequate" and "effective".

History
Describe the history of the creation and combat usage of the helicopter in more detail than in the introduction. If the historical reference turns out to be too long, take it to a separate article, taking a link to the article about the vehicle and adding a block "/History" (example: https://wiki.warthunder.com/(Vehicle-name)/History) and add a link to it here using the main template. Be sure to reference text and sources by using <ref></ref>, as well as adding them at the end of the article with <references />. This section may also include the vehicle's dev blog entry (if applicable) and the in-game encyclopedia description (under === In-game description ===, also if applicable).
Media
Excellent additions to the article would be video guides, screenshots from the game, and photos.
See also
Links to the articles on the War Thunder Wiki that you think will be useful for the reader, for example:
- reference to the series of the helicopter;
- links to approximate analogues of other nations and research trees.

Paste links to sources and external resources, such as:
- topic on the official game forum;
- other literature.
