Message: <blockquote data-quote="STINGRAY" data-source="post: 19384">THANKS FOR THE SOURCE! NOW I KNOW WHAT THE PUMA XPTI IS. IT WAS BASICLY A ROOIVALK PROTOTYPE FOR THE RAF. HERE IS THE INFO I FOUND.the prototype for some of the weapons systems employed on the Rooivalk was the XTP-1 Beta, which was essentially a Puma with armament wings added and electro-optical sighting and targetting equipment on the nose. Once again, some people may have seen this, a Puma involved in the developmental phase of the Rooivalk, and deduced more from it then there really was.THE ONLY THING DIFFERENT ABOUT THE PICTURE I SAW IS THAT THE NOSE DID NOT HAVE ANYTHING BUT A RE-FUELING PROBE AND A FEW ANTENNAE.</blockquote>
