Armed S-76

212 Man, as near as I can recollect, Sikorsky delivered UH-76As to the either the US Government or one of the Government security contractors in the mid-1980s. These aircraft incorporated armament systems and beefed up tail cones. The tail cone beef up was required for launching TOW missiles. Later in the mid 1990 an S-76B was similarly configured but never sold. The aircraft was later reconfigured with the Sikorsky Fantail as part the Comanche program.
