Elevated side view of a military attack helicopter with 2 staggered cockpits, one above and behind the other, in an olive-green paint job, parked on grass facing to the right. There are black "Esercito" titles under the forward cockpit, "EI" and "928" either side of a red, white, and green roundel on the rear fuselage, and "AgustaA129" titles on the sides of the engine pods mounted on the sides of the upper fuselage, under the rotors. Stub wings below the engine pods hold 4 rocket pods. Yellowing grass fills the foreground. With black taxiways and more grass leading off to trees in the distance. A pair of larger attack helicopters in a stone-grey camouflage scheme are behind this helicopter, with a pair of smaller, red and white helicopters further back. Pale blue sky fills the top of the image.
