ザ アグスタ A129 マングスタ (English: Mongoose) is an attack helicopter originally designed and produced by Italian company Agusta. It is the first attack helicopter to be designed and produced wholly in Europe. It has continued to be developed by AgustaWestland, the successor company to Agusta. The A129 has undergone several combat deployments since entering service with the Italian Army in the 1990s. A derivative of the A129, the TAI/AgustaWestland T129 ATAK, is being developed by Turkish Aerospace Industries (TAI) in cooperation with AgustaWestland. TAI will produce the T129 for the Turkish Army and potentially export customers.

General Characteristics and Role
The Agusta A129 Mangusta (Italian for “Mongoose”) is a twin-engine, tandem two-seat attack helicopter. It holds the distinction of being the first dedicated attack helicopter to be designed and produced wholly in Europe by the Italian manufacturer Agusta (now part of Leonardo S.p.A.). Developed primarily for anti-tank warfare and close air support, the A129 features a narrow, armored fuselage to minimize radar and visual signature, and is built using composite materials for durability and ballistic protection. Its design includes stepped tandem cockpits for the gunner (forward) and pilot (aft), offering optimal visibility and workload distribution. The aircraft has seen service with the Italian Army in various UN missions, including Somalia and Angola.
