Lynx

I was reading up on the Lynx recently, and I realized there is quite a bit I don’t know. Thought I’d see what more I could learn here.

I was also hoping to do a mini “warlord” thread to see what exotic photos are out there of armed Lynxes.

First off, I’m curious about the Lynx AH.7 vs the AH.9. I know that engine upgrades and wheeled gear are the main differences to set the AH.9 apart, but functionally speaking does the Army employ them in different roles or was there just not enough money to upgrade the entire AH.7 fleet?

Weapons wise what all do both types employ? (Is TOW still used? Just 7.62 door guns?)

For the record, I’m well aware the Apache AH.1 is the primary attack helo…no need to point that out. I’m just curious how the Lynx is employed and what weapons are certified on it.
