Light weight ECM suite and threat detection system, chaff/flare launcher, smoke discharger, titanium armour on fuselage, IR suppression system.
The K45 Vandal is one of the few true helicopters in Crookfur service. Its coaxial rotor system offers a high degree of manoeuvrability and tight space operations ability that make it ideal for both the Light observation/ battlefield utility role and as a special forces insertion/support helicopter.
Cost: $3.6million (add $100,000 for 2nd generation ATGM system (TOW/HOT/AT6 Spiral), $200,000 for laser guided 3rd generation (Hellfire, Trigat LR) and $250,000 for millimetric guidance).
K47 Goth attack/scout combat helicopter
Following the leasons of modern war the gunship has become a vital part of a modern amred forces capable of deep strikes and sustained close support operations the gunship is the true modern light cavalry, seeking the target then obliterating with a deadly attack.

Crew: 2
Rotor Diameter: 13.8m
Length: 14.8m
Height: 3.8m
Max takeoff: 9,800kg
Engines: 2x CFPW TH299 alcohol turbine
Max speed: 300kph
Cruising speed: 290kph
Range: 700km
Weapons:
1 30mm high velocity cannon with 500 rounds in semi recessed underside mounting (can be elevated and stored).
6 wing mounted hard points. The inner 4 pylons can mount up to 4 heavy ATGMs or a variety of large rocket pods. The outer mountings can Hold 2 ATGMs, 2 Air to air missiles or smaller rocket pods.
Missile capabilities:
ATGM: native capability to operate 3rd and 4th generation western missiles with both millimetric wave radar and laser guidance. Approved missiles include Hellfire II, Trigat LR and others.
AAM: the Goth can utilise most western self defence missiles including Stinger, Mistral and star streak, the operation of larger weapons such as Sidewinder and Magic is also possible. Advanced missiles such as ASRAAM and AIM-9X require software upgrades.
While the Goth is primarily sold as utilising western weapons it uses an open architecture weapons management system that can be modified to allow the use of Soviet weapons (although some sensor changes may be required for certain systems).
Equipment:
Full glass display night flying cockpit with NVG compatibility, secure digital communications with data link, independent multi role electro optical/IR sensors mounted in both mast and nose mountings, these can be slaved to both pilot and co pilot helmet mounted targeting systems, laser designator, Millimetric wave radar sensor AA missile targeting system, chaff/flare dispenser, GPS/inertial Navigation system, terrain avoidance radar and autopilot.
Survivability:
Light weight armour with protection against 23mm AP rounds, fully automatic counter measures suite with ECM, chaff/ flare/ particulate smoke dischargers and a multirole IR/ EO seeker dazzler/ jammer system, IR signature suppression, radar absorbent paint.
The K47 Goth is Crookfur’s latest attack helicopter. Using a rotor system developed from the K45 Vandal the Goth is an extremely capable combat helicopter with a large degree of manoeuvrability and speed to complement its large weapons load. The integral 30mm cannon has a duel ammo feed system allowing the gunner to switch effortlessly from APFSDS rounds capable of punching through battle tank armour to high explosive or fletchette rounds to deal with soft targets. All the on board weapons system and sensors are tied to the crew’s helmet mounted sighting systems. These HMSS provide full width head up display with targeting data and an optional complete synthetic view mode greatly reducing the demand on crews and the need to adjust to using view points remote from the pilots eyes (a major problem with apache crews). All in all the Goth offers a high performance and adaptable solution to your battlefield needs.
Cost: $12million.
