Got a very "insect" look about it

" In 1994 Bristol Aerospace, LTD modified a Bell AH-1S Cobra with facades and extensions to simulate the KA-50 Hokum helicopter. One Hokum X target development helicopter was made for the US Army for trials at the White Sands missile range in New Mexico.

The first Bristol Aerospace Hokum-X, a conversion of former Arizona Army National Guard/1-284th AVN AH-1S 70-16089, during test flying before formal hand-over to the US Army of February 15. This Hokum-X, the first in visual/infra-red target configuration, had made a 20 minute first flight on September 19 last year from Winnipeg International Airport. Particularly apparent is the extension to the boom and rear fuselage area, including splitting of the single exhaust to give two separate exhaust plumes, plus a 1.2m nose extension to more closely represent the external shape of the Kamov Ka-50 Hokum. Three examples are initially being produced to act as visual, infra-red and radar targets for Stinger Block II air-to-air missiles although up to 20 examples may eventually be procured."
