I need a large and plentiful chopper armada. I need attack and support. Please give me your selection and prices, thank you.

The world renown EA-22 Multipurpose helicopter was first released quite a while ago (December 12 2002, have been resurrected since) and has provided sterling service to all branches of the Elias military and in over 7 versions. The helicopter was originally designed to fulfill requirements for a medium helicopter in a similar class to the UH-1 ‘Huey’. Although it has not been produced in as large a numbers as the EA-24 helicopter (http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=40824) production facilities have been expanded recently to allow for export orders. This does not replace the EA-24 in fact the design itself is older but can be used in situations where larger helicopters are not needed or where they cannot be accommodated, for example aboard a frigate or similar ship where space is paramount.:

Features (All versions)

The rugged modular structure incorporates crashworthy and damage-tolerant features, including a four-blade main rotor, four blade tail rotor and main lift frame, which includes multiple primary and secondary load paths. The fuselage is mainly of aluminum-lithium construction. The aerodynamic rotor blades are constructed from carbon/glass with nomex honeycomb and rohacell foam. Active vibration control of the structural response uses a vibration-canceling technique.

The helicopter operates in temperatures ranging from -20 to +50 degrees C. An ice protection system allows operation in known icing conditions. An engine inlet particle separator system provides protection in sandy environments. The helicopter is equipped with retractable reverse-tricycle type landing gear. Shock absorbers are installed on each unit. The main wheels towards the forward section of the fuselage retract inward and upward into the fuselage. The single rear landing unit is twin wheeled and retracts forward into the tailboom. High flotation tyres and efficient landing gear permit operation from soft or rough terrain.

The cockpit is equipped with armoured crew seats able to withstand an impact velocity of 35ft per second. Dual flight controls are provided for the pilot and copilot, but the helicopter is capable of being flown by a single pilot. The electronic instrument system includes six high-definition, full-colour displays, together with a digital map mission display. All models have a forward looking Infrared system display and thermal imagers.

A cargo hook allows external loads to be carried. The maximum external payload is 2,750kg

All helicopter versions can be upgraded with a full protection suite of Electronic counter measures, chaff/flare dispensers and armor plating in cockpit and passenger compartment. $100,000 (standard on some versions)

EA-24 Advacned Cockpit, all versions

After years of being produced solely for the Elias military the Ministry of Defence Procurment and Export has approved the type for export sale. The design is not revolutionary but is based on the well proven, reliable and devasatingly powerful KA-50 airframe that has been modified and upgraded by the Elias Aerospace Corporation to make it even more capable.

EA-26 Combat Helicopter

Airframe

The airfrmae is based on the KA-50 Design
The coaxial rotor design provides a hovering ceiling of 12,400ft and vertical rate of climb of 12m/s at an altitude of 5,000ft. The rotor blades are made from polymer materials. The coaxial-rotor configuration results in moments of inertia values relative to vertical and lateral axes being between 1.5 to 2 times less than the values found in single rotor helicopters with tailrotors. Absence of the tail rotor enables the helicopter to perform flat turns within the entire flight speed range. A maximum vertical g-load of 3.5 combined with low moments of inertia give the Ka-50 a high level of agility.

Extensive all-round armour installed in the cockpit protects the pilot against 12.7mm armour piercing bullets and 25mm projectile fragments. The rotor blades are rated to withstand several hits of ground-based automatic weapons.

The EA-26 one of the world's first operational helicopter with a rescue ejection system, which allows pilot to escape at all altitudes and speeds.


Weapons

Numerous weapons options for the helicopter are carried on external wing stores with different combination of anti-tank missiles, rockets, air-to-air missiles. From the point of view of the weapons power is superior to all existing combat helicopters.

Avionics

The on-board multifunctional avionics suite ensures round-the-clock helicopter piloting, navigational and combat tasks in anytime of the year. The avionics suite is comprised of a multiplexed, multi-level digital computer-based system having large storage capacity and high speed. Observation, search and targeting systems comprising head-mounted display are used for round-the-clock and all-weather detection of specified targets and their attack using optical, TV, laser, IR and radar equipment.

EA-26 is fitted with s radar warning receiver, electronic warfare system and chaff and flare dispenser as standard

EA-26B

The Elias Aerospace Corporation is proud to unveil its latest helicopter which once again demonstrates our ingenuity and technological capabilities. The EA-28 Helicopter is a helicopter designed to meet a requirement from the Elias Air Force for a combat scout and a light utility helicopter. It is an ideal replacement for OH-59 ‘Kiowa’ and OH-6 ‘Little Bird’ types that serve in many armed services around the world.
The helicopters basic airframe is extremely flexible and can be used for a variety of different roles.

Features (All versions)

The Most notable feature of the design is the NOTAR anti-torque system which eliminates the need for a tail rotor improving survivability and making ground operations safer for both the aircraft and people on the ground. The modular structure incorporates other crashworthy and damage-tolerant features, including a five-bladed, bearing less main rotor. The fuselage is mainly of aluminium-lithium construction. The aerodynamic rotor blades are constructed from carbon/glass with nomex honeycomb and rohacell foam. Active vibration control of the structural response uses a vibration-cancelling technique.

The helicopter operates in temperatures ranging from -20 to +50 degrees C. An ice protection system allows operation in icing conditions. An engine inlet particle separator system provides protection in sandy environments. Durable, light weight skids made of composite materials permit operation from soft or rough terrain. The unique design of the helicopter allows it to land in small clearings and other confined areas where most other helicopters would not be able to.

The cockpit is equipped with armoured crew seats able to withstand an impact velocity of 35ft per second. Dual flight controls are provided for the pilot and co-pilot, but the helicopter is capable of being flown by a single pilot. The electronic instrument system includes four high-definition full-colour displays, together with a digital mission (military versions only), the controls feature 70% commonality with the much larger EA-28 helicopter to simplify the amount of training needed to change type. Every version is equipped with a FLIR mounting and is cleared for full night time operation.

All Versions can be quickly converted for the medical evacuation/ air ambulance role with room for two stretchers and a medical attendant.

Every Version can accommodate an under slung external load of up to 3,500lb

All military Versions can be fitted with steel benches above the weapon hardpoints for a maximum of three persons on each side, although two is more advisable

All helicopter versions can be upgraded with a full protection suite of Electronic counter measures, chaff/flare dispensers. $80,000 (standard on some versions)

A129 International Multi-role Combat Helicopter

Due to a large surplus of such craft and the estimated revenue of the sale of these highly capable helicopters we have decided to sell a limited number of A129 International multi-role combat helicopters.

Summary
The helicopter is the latest variant of the A129 Mangusta (Mongoose). The A129 International is a multi-role helicopter for armed reconnaissance and surveillance, high-value ground-target engagement, escort, fire support, and air-threat suppression. It is armed with new powerful air-to-ground and air-to-air missiles, an off-axis cannon, and an increased weapon payload. The five-bladed A129 International also has more powerful engines than the four-bladed Mangusta.

The A129 is able to self-deploy over 1,000km, using external fuel tanks while carrying four air-to-air missiles for self-protection. The helicopter is air transportable by C-130 and larger transport aircraft.

Design
The structure of the helicopter is a semi-monocoque design with an aluminium alloy frame. Composite materials make up almost 50% of the fuselage weight. The airframe provides ballistic protection against 12.7mm armour piercing rounds. The engines are armour protected. The main rotor has ballistic tolerance against 12.7mm rounds.

Cockpit
The pilot and gunner cockpits are in a stepped tandem configuration. Both cockpits are equipped with multifunction displays, which present information from the integrated management system and provide a synthetic waypoint map, navigation data, weapon status, weapon selection, communications and aircraft/flight data. The displays are equipped with multifunction keyboards.

The helicopter is equipped with an automatic flight control system, which provides nap-of-the-earth flight capability and the level of stability for precise weapon aiming. A Tactical Navigation Display enhances mission management and situational awareness

Weapons
The A129 International helicopter can be armed with Raytheon Stinger or MBDA (formerly Matra BAe Dynamics) Mistral air-to-air missiles. Italian Army A129’s are equipped with Stinger. The helicopter has dual air-to-ground missile capability with the Lockheed Martin Hellfire or Raytheon TOW 2 missile or a mix of both, giving the gunner selective fire against low- and high-value targets, and the capability of precise hits in urban environments. The Mangusta is fitted with the HeliTOW system for the TOW2A missile.

The A129 International also has dual rocket system capability, deploying 70mm rockets for ammunition commonality with NATO countries and 81mm rockets for longer-range engagements. The Mangusta can carry four 81mm rocket launchers. A 20mm three-barrel Gatling-type turreted cannon with 500 rounds of ammunition is mounted under the nose.

Engines
The A129 International helicopter has a fireproof engine compartment with two low-noise LHTEC-T800 turboshaft engines. The engines are separated, and there are two separate fuel systems with cross-feed capability. The crash-resistant tanks are self-sealing and fitted with self-sealing lines and a digital fuel feed controller. The thermal signature is minimised by the installation of an infrared exhaust suppression system.

Very nice.... very nice, but this makes them look like toys (sure, its big, but it survives point blank hits from 37mm AAA fire like the original hind.... unless you blow the tail off lol):

The Bisonic Defense Initiatives Agency (BDIA) has announced the development of a deep modernization of the Mi-24 known as the Mi-35M. In addition to swallowing point bank hits from 37mm AA guns (OOC: the Mi-24 did that), the Mi-35M is capable of carrying bombs, rocket pods, ATGM's, and 8 troops. Alternately the firing ports can be used by helicopter-borne machine gunners.

http://www.zap16.com/images/MI-35M.jpg
http://www.milparade.com/1999/33/0823.jpg

Such attention is given worldwide to the modernization of flying machines since it enables the developers to obtain their updated characteristics at minimum financial costs. The first qualification flight of the Mi-35M helicopter has been made at the Mil Helicopter Plant's flight-test base near Belgorod under the state-run test program.

Today, about 1,000 helicopters, developed on the basis of the Mi-24, are in service with the Bisonic army aviation.

Modernization of the Mi-35 machine is highly topical taking into account the remaining service life margin and technical condition of helicopters being in service with foreign countries, Dark Terror, as well as numerous inquiries from potential customers of modernized versions of the Mi-35 and its current users.

The main goals of modernization of the existing helicopters are the following:

- considerable prolongation of life cycle;

- improvement of performance characteristics;

- enhancement of combat effectiveness;

- provision for day-and-night combat employment;

- increase of maintainability.

These goals can be attained through the use of a number of modernization packages:

1. Prolongation of a calendar and estimated service life of the airframe, system units and equipment.

2. Decrease in empty weight of the helicopter and increase in the reliability and invulnerability of its systems to combat damage owing to retrofitting of its fuselage and mechanical systems.

3. Increase in the combat effectiveness of the armament system, which involves an introduction of the following weapons into armament suit:

- Ataka and Ataka-M antitank guided missiles of increased effectiveness;

- unguided aircraft rockets.

4. Ensuring of day-and-night employment of the helicopter by providing the crew with the night-vision goggles and adaptation of the cabin illumination, while providing the helicopter with a surveillance and fire-control station.

5. Modernization of the helicopter rotor system, increase of its aerodynamic effectiveness and decrease of its weight by using the main and tail rotors developed for the Mi-28 helicopter. This leads to a decrease of its weight by 300 kg and an increase of the main rotor effective thrust by 300 kgf.

6. The further increase in the combat effectiveness of the armament system and equipping the helicopter with the new communications facilities:

- introduction of the Igla-V air-to-air heat-homing missile system;

- replacement of obsolete analog computers by a heliborne unified BVK-24 computer system capable of solving air navigation problems;

- replacement of obsolete radio communications equipment.

7. Provision for day-and-night combat employment of all heliborne weapons via replacement of the Raduga-Sh day-vision guidance device by the gyro-stabilized surveillance and fire-control station. With due account for variations in customer requirements, the Rostvertol offers several modernization variants.

One of the most promising variants involves the modernization to be performed during the helicopter major repair. This variant covers the following four modernization packages:

1. Modernization of the airframe, including:

- installation of nonretractable landing gear that ensures saving in weight and increases the low-altitude flight safety and a crew protection degree in emergency landing;

- retrofitting of the wing to decrease its weight, installation of launching frames with an increased ammunition load, and an increase in technological effectiveness of loading the helicopter with ammunition.

2. Modernization of the armament system:

- provision for employment of S-13 rockets in the 130mm rocket pod (B-13L1);

- equipping the helicopter with the Shturm-VM (9K113M) guided missile system.

3. Modernization of the helicopter rotor system and dismantling of the secondary hydraulic system that leads to savings in weight, enhancement of airfield performance, and an increase in invulnerability of the helicopter to combat damage.

4. Equipping the helicopter with night vision systems:

- NVIS-compatible illumination of instrument equipment in the crew cabins and adaptation of lighting equipment for night vision goggles to ensure safe takeoff/landing at night and under limited-visibility conditions and flying of the helicopter at extremely low altitudes near the ground surface at night and under limited-visibility conditions at low flight speeds;

- installation of the surveillance and fire-control station furnished with infrared, TV and laser channels to ensure target detection and identification at long ranges at night; leading out of the helicopter onto a target and a combat run at night and under limited-visibility conditions; employment of unguided rockets at night and under limited-visibility conditions; performing search operations and ground surveillance at night and under limited-visibility conditions, as well as in the daytime under conditions of artificial or natural shadowing of objects.

A Mi-35M costs $12.5 mil, $10 mil for TGP or NCA members. COnversion from Mi-24 costs $3 mil.

If you give Credonia 12 hrs to post some helicopterson its storefront site, like we was going to do, we can get you litrally the cheapest with a discount on top of that. :-)

Sounds good

OOC: Sorry other people, he's an ally and I like his website idea lol.

Credonia was turned into a crater by geforce4 and claimed to have an ABM system intercepting all 450 nuclear cruise missiles.

BAh for a true gunship/ attack helicopter you really want our K47 Goth, its fast, manouverable and very very deadly, using the new APKWS2 the K47 goth can carry over 76 precision giuded weapons capable of defeating a wide range of soft and lightly armored targets at over 6km (the original APKWS is a laser system for 70mm rockets, our APKWS2 uses microwave giudance and can fire a full load in one salvo).

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 (APKWS and APKWS2 have recently been approved).
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.



Oh and before you even think of a Hind based solution, remeber that while it is great in it's role as a flying BMP it isn't a fantastic dedicated gunship, it has certain manouverability and crew visiability problems (both true Rl issues with it).

United Elias, I would like to place an order:

EA-24G...............X25 $275,000,000
EA-26A................X50 $900,000,000

Also, if possible, I need these to carry more rockets, a heavier minigun with more ammo, a super dense armor (as light as possible), more fuel or a more efficient power unit, and drop cable hooks(for unloading troops in mid flight). I will pay extra if needed for these upgrades, telegram me if you have questions.

Perhaps you would find something to interest you in the Dominion's H-71 series of helicopters.

UH-71A Python

The UH-71A Python offers an odd profile for a transport aircraft. It employs an attack-style cockpit and a chin-mounted weapon turret. As well, while the weapon systems operator can fly the aircraft from his position, he is more a gunner than a copilot. Extensively armed, the UH-71A is designed to perform overt or covert resupply, fire support, and medevac missions across a wide range of weather conditions.

Designed with a very redundant systems architecture, the UH-71A is extremely durable and reliable. Prime amongst the UH-71A's requirements was the ability to withstand the kind of damage that downed two UH-60 Black Hawks in Mogadishu, Somalia in 1993 and crippled another. Although the armour carried by the helicopter has been increased, more powerful engines has resulted in an overall increase in airspeed. As well, the tail-rotor gearbox, the piece of hardware that was damaged and caused the loss of the two aircraft, has been shifted sligthly in location to reduce its vulnerability to ground fire. On top of all this, the gearbox has been redesigned to allow the aircraft to disengage and fly up to five miles before having to crash land.

The armour and the redundant systems architecture means the UH-71A is extremely resistant to small arms fire, as well as medium-calibre explosive projectiles. Moreover, an improved resistance to man portable surface to air missiles, like the Stinger, and improvised weapons such as the RPGs used in Mogadishu has been accomplished. While such weapons would still likely do catastrophic damage, the aircraft is likely to be able to escape to a safer location before systems failiure forces a crash landing.

While durability is certainly a laudable requirement, a transport helicopter is useless without a practical payload. The UH-71A can transport up to eleven fully equipped soldiers to and from their objective. It can airlift a 155mm howitzer suspended beneath it, and carry thirty rounds within itself. In short, it is capable of every mission the UH-60 was and, with the additional armaments and electronics, a few Sikorsky's designers never dreamed of for a multi-role, light lift helicopter. As well as its durability requirements, however, the utility version of the H-71 series had a requirement that it be cheaper than either the SH-71A or the MH-71A, a requirement it meets handily.

SH-71A Sea Python

The SH-71A Sea Python offers an odd profile for a transport aircraft, employing an attack-style cockpit with a radome beneath the nose where the gun turret is on the MH-71A variant. As durable as its parent helicopter, the SH-71A maintains exceptional ASW capabilities. It carries twice the payload of an SH-60, a result of the heavy weapons load it carried in the MH-71A configuration, and superior sonar. As well, an airborne radar and fire control unit allows it to perform anti-shipping operations using Harpoon ASMs and defend itself with a pair of Stinger AAMs. All in all, the SH-71A is an exceptional replacement to the SH-60 Seahawk.

MH-71A Python

The MH-71A Python offers an odd profile for a transport aircraft. It employs an attack-style cockpit and a chin-mounted weapon turret. As well, while the weapon systems operator can fly the aircraft from his position, he is more a gunner than a copilot. Extensively armed, the MH-71A is designed to perform overt or covert infiltration, exfiltration, fire support, and resupply missions for special operations forces across a wide range of environmental conditions, as well as CSAR and medevac missions. As such, the MH-71A is an extremely durable, and dependable aircraft.

Designed with a very redundant systems architecture, prime amongst the MH-71A's requirements was the ability to withstand the kind of damage that downed two UH-60 Black Hawks in Mogadishu, Somalia in 1993 and crippled another. As a result, armour was thickened compared with that on the UH-60, although more powerful engines have resulted in an overall increase in airspeed.
