| Source measurement | The LAH is armed with a single chin-mounted 20mm three-barreled turret gun and fitted with stub wings for carrying both 70 mm (2.8 in) non-guided rockets and air-to-ground anti-tank missiles .[source]KAI LAH-1 Miron · Development / Design; only the objects and conditions stated in this passage Guided by a dual CCD TV and imaging infrared (IIR) seeker delivering a fire-and-forget capability as well as a fire, observe and update mode using a fiber-optic data-link , it provides an anti-armor capability up to 8 kilometres (5.0 mi) away.[source]KAI LAH-1 Miron · Development / Design; only the objects and conditions stated in this passage Later renamed Cheongeom ( Korean : 천검 ), the missile is 120 mm (4.7 in) in diameter, weighs 16 kg (35 lb), can fly at 200 m/s (720 km/h; 450 mph), and is equipped with a tandem shaped-charge warhead with impact or time delay fuses.[source]KAI LAH-1 Miron · Development / Design; only the objects and conditions stated in this passage On 4 July 2019, the first prototype performed its maiden flight ; on 10 December 2019, it was followed by the second prototype. During December 2020, the LAH was declared to be fit for combat on a provisional basis by DAPA. In April 2021, KAI stated that both the 20mm cannon and 70mm rockets had been integrated with the LAH's target acquisition designation sight, and that testing of the air-to-ground missile would proceed within the year.[source]KAI LAH-1 Miron · Development / Flight test program; only the objects and conditions stated in this passage In September 2022, KAI unveiled a new variant, the Light Utility Helicopter (LUH), which is intended to support operations by special forces ; it is based on the LAH, but has been stripped of non-essential equipment and its troop-carrying capability maximised, not only using the internal cabin but also outboard benches akin to those used on the Boeing MH-6M Little Bird .[source]KAI LAH-1 Miron · Development / Flight test program; only the objects and conditions stated in this passage Capacity: 2 x 20mm Magazines (Cabin)[source]KAI LAH-1 Miron · Specifications; only the objects and conditions stated in this passage Length: 14.3 m (46 ft 11 in)[source]KAI LAH-1 Miron · Specifications; only the objects and conditions stated in this passage Width: 3.9 m (12 ft 10 in) (fuselage)[source]KAI LAH-1 Miron · Specifications; only the objects and conditions stated in this passage Height: 4.3 m (14 ft 1 in)[source]KAI LAH-1 Miron · Specifications; only the objects and conditions stated in this passage Empty weight: 3,400 kg (7,496 lb)[source]KAI LAH-1 Miron · Specifications; only the objects and conditions stated in this passage Gross weight: 4,950 kg (10,913 lb)[source]KAI LAH-1 Miron · Specifications; only the objects and conditions stated in this passage Max takeoff weight: 4,920 kg (10,847 lb)[source]KAI LAH-1 Miron · Specifications; only the objects and conditions stated in this passage Powerplant: 2 × HAS-Arriel 2L2 turboshaft engines, Take-off Power, 770 kW (1,030 hp) each[source]KAI LAH-1 Miron · Specifications; only the objects and conditions stated in this passage Main rotor diameter: 12.6 m (41 ft 4 in)[source]KAI LAH-1 Miron · Specifications; only the objects and conditions stated in this passage Main rotor area: 124.7 m 2 (1,342 sq ft)[source]KAI LAH-1 Miron · Specifications; only the objects and conditions stated in this passage Maximum speed: 243 km/h (151 mph, 131 kn)[source]KAI LAH-1 Miron · Specifications; only the objects and conditions stated in this passage Range: 857 km (533 mi, 463 nmi)[source]KAI LAH-1 Miron · Specifications; only the objects and conditions stated in this passage Ferry range: 985 km (612 mi, 532 nmi)[source]KAI LAH-1 Miron · Specifications; only the objects and conditions stated in this passage Service ceiling: 4,572 m (15,000 ft)[source]KAI LAH-1 Miron · Specifications; only the objects and conditions stated in this passage Rate of climb: 8.9 m/s (1,750 ft/min)[source]KAI LAH-1 Miron · Specifications; only the objects and conditions stated in this passage Guns: 1× 20mm M197 electric cannon three-barreled electric Gatling-type rotary cannon[source]KAI LAH-1 Miron · Specifications; only the objects and conditions stated in this passage | — |
