The MH-6 is the special operations version of the Hughes 500 light helicopter, in service since 1980 with the aviation regiment that supports American special forces. It is genuinely small, quiet for a helicopter, and its defining feature is the pair of external benches bolted to the sides, where operators sit in the open with their feet on the skids and step off the moment it touches down. There is no armour and normally no weapons on the transport version. On MCS the Little Bird is the infiltration helicopter. It fits into places nothing else can reach, including rooftops, courtyards and narrow streets, and it puts a fire team on the ground in seconds. It has no protection at all and small arms fire will bring it down, so success depends entirely on nobody expecting you. Recommended for fast assaults and for squads that value surprise over firepower.
