Israel Tests Black Hawk Gunship

It looks like Israel is looking at an armed variant of the UH-60 Black Hawk demonstrator.

From the photo, it appears that they would be carrying an chain gun and a targeting turret, along with a fair number of ATGWs, something on the order of 16 Hellfire class missles, though, given that this is an Israeli developed project, Rafael's Spike, or some variant thereof, would likely be the actual weapon deployed.

It's kind of a return to the old UH-1 gunships developed in Vietnam.
