The Aérospatiale Gazelle (company designations SA 340, SA 341 and SA 342) is a French five-seat helicopter, commonly used for light transport, scouting and light attack duties. It is powered by a single Turbomeca Astazou turbine engine and was the first helicopter to feature a fenestron tail instead of a conventional tail rotor. It was designed by Sud Aviation, later Aérospatiale, and manufactured in France and the United Kingdom through a joint production agreement with Westland Aircraft.

The MOD recognized in 2008 that it needed a vehicle in Afghanistan to carry people and supplies from helicopter landing zones to forward bases. Enhanced Protection Systems developed the Springer of the Israeli Tomcar TM5. EPS Springer ATV Armoured 4 x 2 Vehicle can self load a 1t pallet of supplies and has its own tyre inflation system. The Armoured Springer is fitted with weapons holders to carry light support weapons (LSW). SA80 A2 standard assault rifles are available for two crew members. Other weapons include a C7 rifle or a Minimi, a fully automatic light machine gun. The vehicle can also be fitted with a general purpose machine gun (GPMG) mount.

The Dhsk is a spot on replica that fires using propane gas (no projectile leaves the gun). The Dhsk anti aircraft gun sits on an original T55/T72 tank mount which has all the original sight optics. The Dhsk gun and mount is the one seen in most movies and on the news used in the Middle East in the back of Toyota or Nissan pickup trucks.
