British Royal Navy WildCat's have turned into a real deal Naval Attack Helicopter...

Apparently they also act as genuine wings - they provide additional lift for the aircraft in forward flight, taking some strain off the main rotor. pic.twitter.com/0B8x5ko8Dv

Didn't see this coming.

Outside of precious few nations, you don't see naval attack helicopters.  Don't get me wrong.  You see helos that are capable of operating from ships that can IDEALLY attack land targets, and you have a few that can flex into the role.

The WildCat is different.

It's one of the very few DEDICATED naval attack helicopters designed to hunt boats/ships.

Impressive.
