wow, that hokum/cobra thing is cool!

The mods were performed in 1994 by Bristol Aeropace Ltd .  One Hokum X target development helicopters was made for the US Army for trials at the White Sands missile range in New Mexico. A rework of the Bell AH-1S Cobra, the Hokum X has facades and extensions added to create the external appearance of a Kamov Ka-50 attack helicopter. The facades were made of composite material so they were not heavy considering that all of the armament was removed off of the airframe.  Also it was designed to be a pilotless drone.

I doesn't appear to have been flown since the first designed it.
