Since last year the UAE Armed Forces have been using the Roketsan Cirit, a 2.75-inch laser-guided rocket. The type has been fielded on the Turkish army’s Bell AH-1W Cobra helicopters, and also on the UAE’s Iomax AT-802i and Archangel border patrol aircraft. Cirit has been used in combat and has also been acquired by Bahrain as part of a modernization package for the Kingdom’s Bell AH-1E Cobras.
