Kawasaki OH-1 Ninja
Designed by Kawasaki as XOH-1 as a light observation helicopter for replace the Hughes OH-6s
in service in the Japan Self Defence Forces.
Equipped with modern electronics, high speed and good range its primary mission is to locate the enemy.
The only real negative is the lack of a mast-mounted sight like the american
OH-58D Kiowa Warrior, althought a variant of the OH-1 is being considered to
replace Japan AH-1 Super Cobras
