Well, they are scout in the US military, we uses MH-6/MD-500 for light attack role, also US uses MH-60 Gunship for light attack role too.
We had Defender 500 and its phased out...
One thing I need to mention is the Bell (not boeing, which I made a mistake earlier) actually closed the OH-58 production facilities and they won't be supplying OH-58 Spare parts to new customer anymore, plans were there to reopen the OH-58 parts production line ages ago, almost all replacement part are procured by Bell 406 production line (which OH-58D is based on) there may be shortage of Military Hardware for OH-58D depending on location and supply line. As far as I know most OH-58D were reusing recycle parts for non-mechanical spare.
USA will phase out Kiowa in 3 to 5 years and there are allies that are using... Critical parts, specially military hardware is still being produced for Kiowa one way or another and there are upgrade programms.
And If I remember correctly, you can only put 1 rocket pod each side, so you cannot put a Rocket pod and 50 cal on the same side.
You're wrong... You can put both .50 call on top and on bottom rocket pod... I saw the picture.
